This has to be the best component of my whole experience here because their <em>char siew<\/em> really stays true to its char!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Personally, I am not a fan of fatty meats, but for them, I would happily finish my bowl of noodles with their cuts of meat\u2014 the <em>char siew<\/em> specifically. The pork is well marinated with a fantastic proportion of smokiness to the lean parts of the meat. And its fatty side simply melts; it is not too chewy or too chunky.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Hao You Ji - roasted pork\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"768\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/I842gS7fz8grRnwtU0GPFg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTc2ODtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/sethlui.com\/a3820ac2b05874f958a925e6579d0042\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal dialogue\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Hao You Ji &#8211; roasted pork<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">On the other hand, the roasted pork fell short for me. Although it had a great crunch to it, I was anticipating a larger wow factor as I had with the <em>char siew<\/em>. Nonetheless, it was still decent! I believe that if they could work on improving the taste of the roasted pork to be more prominent, such as to make it slightly saltier, that might leave the fans wanting it more.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Hao You Ji - roasted duck\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"768\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/yRuO29wD7dQq8ZYAcyKSUQ--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTc2ODtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/sethlui.com\/50bf44f9c41342d07351ccd2a327b061\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal dialogue\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Hao You Ji &#8211; roasted duck<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Next, I had the roasted duck. I had to pick up a slice of the skin first to give it a test. To my pleasant surprise, their whole process of preparing the duck paid off! The skin was crispy and slightly salty from its roast, and the fat under it gave it a caramelised flavour unique to its own.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Underneath the skin lies its succulent meat, which was not too tough\u2014 just like how I like it.

After having this over and over again in takeaway portions, I am glad I made the trip down to try out their other dishes. I even had a go with two different kinds of soup! They definitely prioritise the idea of having a balanced, healthy meal with their incorporation of vegetables and soup. It reminds me of a very homely Cantonese meal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">With all things considered, Hao You Ji Charcoal Roasted Delights by far has to be one of my favourite places for a solid plate of roast meat rice.
