The Balestier Market and Food Centre was a place where the locals could sell their produce. It was used as a food rationing centre during World War II. Later, the market was rebuilt and housed a hawker centre as well. The market has since undergone upgrading works in the 2000s. Recently it has reopened as a food centre. Gone is its dark and dirty look, now it looks sparkling clean and bright.One of the food stalls operating at the food centre is this 2 months old King's Roasts, which is by Chef
The roasted pork is very well roasted with bits of crispy crackling skin around the sides and corners and marbled look. It tastes smooth down the throat and crunchy in the mouth. The char siew strips are thin and very well roasted but lacking of bits of charred around the sides and corners. It also tastes a bit too lean to me.
Both the roasted duck and roasted chicken are quite juicy and well roasted.
This is the dish of the meal. The tofu is so crispy on the outside and soft and silky inside. There is so much moisture inside the tofu which is a feat. Topped with thai style chilli sauce, it opens up everyone's taste bud.
A simple dish of blanched of green bok choy, topped with special mushroom sauce, tastes simple and tasty. The vegetables is nicely cooked without losing its colour.
Overall it is quite an interesting take on traditional food with modern cooking methods.
