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.

Did you make it or did it come from the local high school cafeteria? I only recall seeing it at school! :D
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?

I grilled a turkey burger and crunchified it with Thanksgiving potato chips.

Really glad to see them begin to reopen. My last trip to Singapore, I remember having some really good char siu at one of Hawker Centers; it was so good, I had two servings and just skipped the rice.

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.
