Helmed by an esteemed chef who was previously the number one barbecue cook at The Excelsior Hotel and Convention Centre in Hong Kong, you can expect the roast meat in this cha chaan teng to be as authentic as it gets. While the sister outlet at Bugis Village may experience better foot traffic, you'd be better off finding a seat at this second outlet along Jalan Sultan. Come with a group of friends and have the Four Heavenly Kings Platter ($48) to share — it comes with the crispy roasted duck, soy sauce chicken, barbecued pork and crispy roasted pork. Everything is tasty, but we're biased towards the latter, which is luscious and melt-in-your-mouth! If it's just the two of you, the Triple Combo ($24) (any three meats of your choice) will satisfy. For a quick lunch, order the Braised Beef Brisket Noodles ($7.80) that comes with unbelievably tender beef chunks!
Avg price: $10 per person
