Unfortunately, off the top of my head, I don't. A friend brought me there, but, if I recall, it was about 2 miles from Orchard Rd within a roofed complex with plenty of Hawker stands of many different varieties. I know, those instructions aren't great, but it's the best I can do right now. I think the stand was very famous, and it was incredibly good! It was perfect with the right amount of fat with many there just for the char siu.

My mother made it. I'm still not up for cooking, other than making toast, grilled cheese, or coffee. Also, ordering food online. It was a staple when I was growing up, and while I don't make it when I'm cooking, given how I feel tonight, it was nice.

Unfortunately you just described about every hawker center in Singapore. It's all good. I'd just like to promote some of the lesser known places. If you say "Roast Paradise" or "Fatty Cheong" to the average Singaporean, they know it. But if you find a real gem that isn't one of those, you need to promote it to get people to visit.

LOL...ah, yeah, with a 2 mile circumference around Orchard Rd, I can see it wasn't very helpful. To this day, I still can't read a map or use google maps, and mostly just rely on The Force to arrive at my destination. However, I do remember our cab ride, and can probably say with some certainty that from my hotel, we were headed in the direction Japan. That would be...ah....North?

Do you happen to remember the name of the stall or the hawker center? Right now I don't think it would hurt to promote some of the better ones. Most of the stalls I've had there weren't great. I'm sure there are good ones, but most use too lean a cut to make a good piece of char siu.

For char siu / roast meats , likely found in the Chinatown , Tiong Bahru , Beo Crescent / Havelock Road ones .. pockets all over the city - Coronation Road corner , Hougang , Serangoon Gardens , East Coast Road ..
Spoilt for choice really if one cares to drive / train wherever & Gojek / Grab back
Now what & where shall it be today ..

Homemade purloo. Charleston Gold rice, coho salmon from Sitka Salmonshares, bacon from Plath's of Michigan, tomatoes (Kirkland), onions, garlic, seafood stock and smoked trout (Trader Joe's). Such a delicious one-pot dinner with ingredients we always have at hand.
