Foong Kee 豐記 known for its roast meat such as char siew and roasted pork previously located at Keong Saik, is back.
The current location is at Commonwealth Crescent Food Centre – home to other stalls such as Huang Da Fu, Hong Kee Porridge, Jian Kang Noodles, Henry’s Chicken Rice, and Xi Le Ting.
The brand has been around for more than 20 years.
Here, the BBQ pork is not just a topping over rice, but a star on its own.
The stall is known to serve up Roasted Duck Rice ($4.50), Char Siew Rice ($4), and Roasted Pork Rice ($4).
There are also combination plates of two styles of meats, affordably priced from $5.50.
Note that while they used to sell wanton noodles, they do not seem to offer this anymore – which is a pity because theirs was really quite springy.
The char siew is roasted in-house by self-taught chef Wong Wai Chiew.
They use a special type of pork for their char siew, known as “bu jian tian,” which is a cut from the sensitive armpit region of the pig.
On the char siew’s surface, you would find a perfect char and a beautiful caramelisation. Scrape off the charred bits to reveal a juicy and tender lean meat with traces of fat.
You get none of the artificial red colour, only a deep, caramel brown, a testimony to the process it has went through.
Taste its roasted flavour accentuated with the sweet sauce created with soya sauce, oyster sauce, lard oil and belachan chilli.
