Legendary Hong Kong (Rochester)

The 𝗜𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗬𝘂𝗮𝗻 𝗬𝗮𝗻𝗴 ($4.80) also pleased us with its bold tea and coffee flavours while not being overly sweet.

Overall I felt the stunning setting failed to compensate for the misses, considering the price point. The outlet in Jurong provides far better value-for-money.

Although the 𝗣𝗮𝗻-𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗽 𝗖𝗮𝗸𝗲 ($6.80) and 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗻𝘀 & 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 ($8.20) didn't wow us, the voluminous, flavourful 𝗕𝗲𝗲𝗳 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗱 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗻 ($6.80) were praiseworthy.

The 𝗦𝗻𝗼𝘄𝘆 𝗕𝘂𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝗕𝗤 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝗸 ($7.80) is not your typical char siew bao. Straddling the fine line between the traditional steamed version and the crispy variant popularised by THW, this possessed the best attributes of both. The bun was mildly crispy and crumbly, yet fabulously fluffy. The honeyed char siew within was also decidedly drool-worthy.

Legendary Hong Kong's third and newest outlet is located in a majestic colonial bungalow at Rochester Commons. To match the grandiose setting, the prices here are also, shall we say, fit for royalty.

The 𝗥𝗼𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗲 ($18.80) was big enough for two. The roasted pork belly was sublime: the chewy lean meat, gelatinous fat and crispy skin formed a terrific trifecta that delighted us no end. The char siew and soya sauce chicken were only mediocre, although the stupendous spring onion and ginger dip alleviated the shortfall.

If you are looking for quality Cantonese fare, this is one place to look out for! Although abit pricey, most of the food here do have a certain standard, especially the fried spam fries here that is coated with salted egg sauce 😍 not only the batter is crispy, the salted egg sauce is rich and creamy and that makes it really addictive!

Sadly, I was not able to take photo of some main dishes that we've ordered, but I do remember the roasted pork belly and fried Hong Kong noodles being the main highlights. The roasted poor belly came in really thick pieces, with the skin being really crispy and the meat absolutely tender and succulent. Indeed one of the best roasted pork belly I've had!

The Hong Kong Noodles, though looked simple with just thin noodles and sautéed vegetables, were packed with loads of flavour. The noodles were well springy and were rather smoky too!

I remembered we ordered a huge variety of dishes and each person paid about $25. If I'm craving Cantonese dishes, I might consider coming back again!

Nice char chan teng decor and vibes. Cant help but to order a cup of horlick (rarity)
