Hua Zai Hong Kong Style Roasted Delight (华仔港式烧腊) - Roast Duck and Char Siew @ Bgain 442 Eating House[Clementi, Singapore] #huazairoastduck

I had an incredibly amazing roti prata the other day at Bgain 442 Eating House in Clementi; hence, imagine my great disappointment when i saw the stall being taken over by this Hua Zai Hong Kong Style Roasted Delight (华仔港式烧腊).

The picture of the larger than life roast duck in the previous photo was enticing enough for me to return a few weeks later to give it a try. However, i was equally keen in the char siew which looked sufficiently charred and dripping thick, sinful oil!

Let's go with both then; combo consisting of both roast duck and char siew.

Please remember to ask for their complimentary soup; cooked with corn and cabbage, it was good and if you managed to work your charm with the male cashier, you may get large pieces of corn cob! Obviously, i didn't and should i manage to; chances are i might get even get any soup! 

Sauce can either make or break the dish of roasted delights and despite its dark, thickened state; the one at Hua Zai was more savoury without the expected sweetness. Some might like it although i always prefer a sweeter sauce. 

Char siew had that desirable fatty layer but strangely, the marination didn't seem to have seeped into the meat as the flavour was a tad too bland and you need to enhance it using the sauce. 

Roast duck was supposed to be the star of the show; it's meaty and not overly tough. The roasted skin of the duck is commonly the highlight and its thinness didn't quite appeal to me. Furthermore, it tasted burnt and a bit salty. Frankly, the chance of me returning for another meal is pretty low.
