Leong Wei Roasted Delights - $2 Char Siew Rice @ Holland Drive Market & Food Centre

To be honest, I was drawn to Leong Wei Roasted Delights by its low price. Their char siew rice, roasted pork rice and roasted chicken rice starts from $2. In this economy when everyone is struggling to cope amid rising costs, such affordability is truly a god send.

Kudos to the stall owners for keeping prices affordable to the lower income group.

I guess I am not the only one to feel the crunch; thirty minutes before the stall is slated to open at 11.30am, a queue, made up mainly of retirees, has already formed.

I joined the queue and ordered a plate of char siew rice ($2) with a bowl of salted vegetable with duck wing soup ($2.50).

My plate of rice comes with a generous portion of char siew drenched in their sauce.


The portion is really filling and for only $2, I really should not have any complains but I find the char siew rather lean and dry. Perhaps I should have requested for a fattier cut.
