Guide Features of Good Food at Char

This stellar roast meat joint is sure to please the entire family! Go for the Double Roast ($24 for 350g), consisting of Char’s signature melt-in-your-mouth Special Char Siew and Roast Crispy Pork Belly. While these are not applicable for 1-for-1, you CAN double up on the flavourful Hong Kong Style Stir-fried Mian Xian ($11.80) and Beef Hor Fun ($12) for staples.

Bring the clan for the ultimate family dinner — Char's Double Roast ($24 for 350g) with Special Char Siew and Roast Crispy Pork Belly. And since you get 1-for-1 with Burpple Beyond, balance out all that meat with the excellent Three Treasures (spinach with eggs, $14) and Dou Miao with Dry Scallops ($14.80).

Previously at Guillemard Road, Char has relocated to Jalan Besar just opposite from Kok Kee Wanton Mee. Occupying the first and second level of the Singapore Lee Clan General Association, this industrial chic restaurant dishes out quality Hong Kong-style roasts in air-conditioned comfort. If you fancy, bring a bottle of wine to share (corkage is only $25). Budget 100g of melt-in-your-mouth, super fatty Special Char Siew ($7/100g, minimum order of 300g) for each person in your party and be sure to pre-order your roasts while making a reservation to ensure you get your share before they sell out! The wok hei-ladened Beef Hor Fun ($12) and the Salted Fish and Chicken Fried Rice ($11) are great for sharing — portions are big and pair well with the roasts. If your group of friends or family gets particularly loud, opt to sit on the second floor — it’s almost like having a private room at no extra cost and you can have whole thing, well…not have, but, like, borrow for the night.
Avg Price: $16 per person

Char has relocated from Guillemard Road to Jalan Besar, making it much more accessible to get your fatty char siew fix. Occupying the first and second level of the Singapore Lee Clan General Association, this industrial chic restaurant dishes out quality Hong Kong style roasts in air-conditioned surroundings. You must get the Special Char Siew ($7/100g, minimum order of 300g) — melt-in-your-mouth chunks of meat, slathered with a dark, umami-rich sauce. Budget 100g of char siew per person and pair that with the Salted Fish and Chicken Fried Rice ($11) — it's a winning combination! Other tasty orders include the crackling Roast Crispy Pork Belly ($7/100g, minimum order of 300g) and the wok hei ladened Beef Hor Fun ($12). Pro tip: pre-order your roasts while making a reservation to ensure you get your share before they sell out! If you fancy, bring a bottle of wine to share (corkage is only $25).

Crackling siobak, melt in your mouth charsiew are my faves. Roast duck is not too bad either. Highly recommend!
