The Short Review

Price Range: $8-$11

Nearest MRT: Kent Ridge

Instagrammability: Low -
Consume on plastic furniture either near the premises or next to Llao Llao. All orders strictly takeaway.

Food:
1) Caramel & Crackling Roast Pork Donburi [$9.80]
Think 叉烧烧肉饭. The visual allure of caramelized pork & a made-to-order sharpened knife-slicing illusion sets up a slight disappointment that the pork is not as moist & tender as it's cracked up to be.
Not sure if the bowl required achar, in the presence of a sour & slightly spicy dollop of dried sambal. Add $1 for an onsen egg, which had ran out by then.

There are plenty of cheap charsiew stalls in Singapore's hawker culture doing it right. After tasting Char, no other joint should ever overcharge for pork.

Come Here: Never.
