After morning course finished, I decided to walk down leisurely to Tiong Bahru Market. This time I remembered to capture the rustic post colonial building with my PSP cam. As you can see the place seem to untouched by the rapid urbanization brought forth by the Singapore government. However, urbanization signs already creeping in. Nevertheless, I enjoyed whatever that left as I walked down to Tiong Bahru Market.
This is one of the famous food stalls in Tiong Bahru that specialised in Roasted Pig (Roast Suckling Pig) and was showcased in many food variety show in Channel U and 8. I decided to give it a try since there isn't much of a queue.
Since Roast Suckling Pig price had jump due to shortage of supply from China, I decided to go for the cheaper alternative (Charsiew & Roast Pork rice) $5.00 SGD since Roast Suckling Pig price had jump due to shortage of supply from China. The Charsiew is rather lean but very tender unlike those comtemporary Charsiew rice stall out there whereby the pork was roasted too long result it being too tough. It is not sweet to extent of overpowering the pork . However, I prefer my Charsiew to have traces of pork fat adhere to the meat which those health conscious beings will shun. Charsiew tends to taste better with some pork fats as it protect the meat from being overcook and maintain its succulency.
Next, the Roasted Pork is pleasantly crispy at the skin and the fatty portion doesn't cover over 70% of it as compared to those Roasted Pork you find in others store. Unfortunately some of roasted pork skin is rather tough probably due to Singapore high humidity that result in the skin loses it crispiness and become tough. In conclusion, overall the charsiew roasted pork rice is pretty good but I believe there is a lot of room for improvement considering they had garnered so media recognition and awards.
