I was introduced to this Traditional Popular Roasted Meat place up in the hills of Bukit Gombak Estate. I searched through the stalls of the coffee shop only to realise that Xiang Mei Roasted Meat is an eatery that has a whole unit space of its own.

Just before entering the eatery, a big menu is plastered by the side of the wall, allowing patrons to decide what to order.

The texture of the noodles was springy and tossed in its seasoning with blanched vegetables. The white radish soup consists of softened cut radish blocks. Despite this plainness without the roasted meat, I felt that I could even finish the noodles and soup alone without other ingredients.

For the 4 mixtures of meats, we have Angelica Duck, Roasted Chicken, Roasted Meat and Char Siew. The Roasted items on our platter were skillfully done in a uniform brownish colour in the outer layer, keeping the meat moist without getting too dry.

While observing the "Ah Po" aka Granny sitting at one of the tables quietly working on wrapping up the dumplings one by one and enjoying my bowl of dumpling soup. Although I prefer the White Radish soup taste that comes with my noodle, I prefer these dumplings as it was plump and succulent with prawns, minced meat, crunchy water chestnut chunks accompanied by vegetables in the soup too.

Looking at the neverending queue, be it food deliveries or walk-in patrons, it's a good testament to the standard of food Xiang Mei Roasted Meat is serving. If you have not tried them, do give it a try!
