Shi Mei Roasted Chicken Rice (Woodlands)

It’s quite ironic how my wedding preparations took me to places where I continue to indulge in good food 😅

This stall way up in the north has been saved on my to-go list for a while now but it’s extremely remote location meant that I didn’t bother visiting it until recently when I went to get my shirts altered.

I have read good things about the char siu here on multiple blogs and was really excited to find myself here. Being a sio bak fan, I had to try their version as well.

But really, the char siu here is the main star of the place. I think I was really lucky too, to get a cut that came with a good fat to meat ratio. The sauce was great as well, not overly sweet to mask the taste of the meat. I love that the rice that came with it is the seasoned rice, those that is served when you order chicken rice. So that’s a win already.

I would definitely see myself coming back here again and I would go so far as to say that don’t be like me, make a purposeful trip here to try this for yourself. No regrets!

Oops, for the longest time I associated Shi Mei with chicken rice. Luckily I researched while queueing. It's the type of stall that sells all roasts plus chicken rice (got soup!). I ordered fatty char siew and it was heavenly. Roast chicken was very wet, that's about it.

The store is tucked away in the northern part of Singapore - within Lucky Star Eating House in Marsiling.

The meat was tender and has just the right amount of fat to keep the char siew moist. Well, you can request for leaner meat for the health conscious - but the fats made it taste a lot better. .
Their Roast Pork Belly (Siew Yoke) was equally good... thin crunchy skin with layers of moist meat and buttery fats...and it was also not overly salty. Well, you’d just have to try it to believe it...!! Having this for lunch is always so shiok...!!
