New Rong Liang Ge Cantonese Roast Duck (Queen Street)

Albert Food Court is positively blessed with an abundance of excellent hawkers. The most famous of them all might just be New Rong Liang Ge with its roasted meats. The queue is always between seven to ten people long, but it somehow never feels like a frustratingly long wait before you get your plate of roasted meats.⠀
⠀
My plate this time was the char siew & roast pork rice, for the low, low price of four dollars. The price is a steal considering the piquancy of the pork on this plate, and the portions are actually quite alright. The char siew, despite being inconsistently fatty, with some pieces having a smidge of fat while others were almost all fat, was consistently delicious. The char siew marinade had caramelised nicely during the barbecuing process, giving a charred, smoky and slightly crisp exterior while the majority of the meat stayed moist & tender.⠀
⠀
The roast pork (siew yoke) was fairly decent too, with a thin but crunchy rind, a well spiced marinade that had successfully infused the meat layer with its aromatic & flavourful qualities, and no porky odour from the well rendered fat. The sauce ladled over everything was superb too, with a honeyed sweetness backing up the savouriness & essence of the herbs in the sauce. The old cucumber soup, unfortunately, was banally bland, but at least it was only $2.50. Perhaps the other soups fare better, but that’s another matter for another visit.

Char siew was dry and slightly bland, though the few pieces of burnt ends were good, and only flavour was the sauce on it. Roasted pork was nicely seasoned with the saltiness that you would expect on the crispy skin and meat.

Delectable plate of roast duck & roast pork belly over fluffy rice.
Drizzled with signature sauce & dash of chilli paste.
Indeed wallet friendly price at $4.

I had the da san yuan/大三元 ($5.50) which consisted of char siew, roasted pork and roasted duck meat along with a plate of white rice all blanketed under a liberal amount of thick sauce.

The roasted pork is adorably tiny and a delight to chomp into with its crackling skin that is adequately salted. The alternating layer of meat and fat makes it a very tasty morsel. Among the three types of meats, this is my favorite.
.
The char siew spots a beautiful caramelized exterior but unfortunately was a very lean cut of meat that leaves stringy fiber stuck in my teeth. I could not taste much of the flavor either as they were mostly drowned out by the thick sauce.
.
The roasted duck meat was deboned for easier eating. While the meat was on the leaner side, it is not dry at all due to the thin layer of fat under the skin which acts as a lubricant.

What I loved most in this meal is actually that very umami chili sauce! It goes great with both the meat and rice so take more of it!

This portion is for 2 people and was definitely worth for the price. However the char siew was just alright, nothing special. The plus point is the price whereby it is affordable.
