YAN CHUAN ROASTER (S) PTE LTD (Jurong)

If you would really enjoy a whole roast duck or have an event to bring on the whole roasted pig complete with red flower in its ears, this is the place to be. Yan Chuan is famous for whole roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted pork and Char Siew.

Its more a take away shop, especially crowded during chinese new year and festive occassions when these delectable meats are what many look out for during festive meals. I mean, you can never find roasted poultry as yummy as these right from the oven. Its no frills and prices are great. I mean $16 for a whole roasted duck is what i call "have another on me"! Matter of fact we love everything about the shop... it brings very much the chinese culture.

First when you approach the shop the aroma of roasted meats hits you and you quicken your steps... Nothing much about the shop with plenty of standing space with a few staff one on the chopping board, one packing another packing stuffs to the display cabinet and one at the cashier. So you decide what you want to have by salivating at the large display cabinet littered with hanging ducks, pork, chicken and charsiew soaked and dripping in precious animal oil, order and pay at the cashier and go over to the other side to collect your order.

The experienced staff with the chopper with pick your favourite duck and chop it up with such skill and tack that you have your drums whole and the duck looked decent with all the ugly parts removed... packed into a Styrofoam box and bagged with some chilli. The duck is still warm when i got home and boy, the skin crispy, meat juicy and if you wanna buy some egg crepes, you can even make your own peking duck wrap with some sweet sauce and veg.

The roast meat is another dish I love. $10 for half KG of roast pork is alot to eat and much more to share. Crispy and a good layer of meat littered by narrow layers of fats is what I call a good proportion. Its savoury and goes superbly with beer.

The roast pig, $99 for a baby one has crispy skin with very lean meat. I mean you get the whole pig including the head the throttles which are so hard and tiny you can't eat. So usually we will eat up the crispy skin with some lean meat intack with sweet sauce and the head chopped up further to fry with noodles... Best Ever...

Service is pretty fast i must say and professional though not the smiling and friendly kind, you just wanna take and go...

Location: 2/5 (not easy to find if you are not farmiliar with the place) Value: 4/5 (Superb Value, you can not find cheaper in that area) Food: 4/5 (Yummy and fresh) Service: 4/5 ( I must say fast and straight to the point) Hygiene: 4/5 (The floor is not too oily, acceptably clean, I spotted acceptably clean aprons, gloves and money and food handled separately and most importantly, the packaged handed to me is clean and not oily, good enough for the car seat)
