Ever since Giant hypermarket closed its Sembawang Shopping Centre’s branch in July 2024, the foot traffic to the mall had fallen tremendously. Rumours have been flying around that NTUC is going to take up the space left vacant by the former. It did open a temporary Chinese New Year pop-up store earlier this year, only for it to close again. The space remains boarded up until May this year when it was announced that FairPrice Finest and Kopitiam Food Hall would be opening on 22 May 2025. Brought mum to the roasted meats store manned by Guan Chee Roasted Delights as both my colleague and sis had mentioned that the food is good.
Ordered the Combo Meal 3 (三宝饭) at S$11.80 which came with roasted pork, char siu and roasted duck. The skin of the roasted pork was crispy and the char siu succulent. The duck however was just decent enough, definitely not one of the better tasting ones. And before I forget, the sambal chilli paste was so good, packed with holy trinity of aromatics and umami flavours plus not too spicy. The S$16 Roasted Suckling Pig 🐖 (烤乳猪) aren’t cheap but those thinly chopped up piglet sure had extra crunchy and crispy skin to boot. It is accompanied with a sweet plum sauce that left a delicate sweet aftertaste. Overall, while I found them quite nice, but mum gave it a thumbs down. 😅
