Off to [Chop Chop] for Chinese Roast

Whenever you go to have Chinese roast, you will always hear the chop chop noise [Chopping] in the background!!
The chop chop noise is meat being chopped up on the chopping board so I guess this is why they are called Chop Chop!!
Chop chop also means hurry up or to be quick in English.

The joint is located on the corner with two entrances and meats are displayed nicely at the counter.

There is an English Menu which make it expat friendly.

Chop Chop's signature dish is the Roast Pork Belly Rice where it first debuted in Stephen Chows God of cookery film aka Sorrowful Rice (#黯然銷魂飯).
It comes with egg and soup as a set.
The rice is a little different as they use premium rice which is harvested once a year at Wuchang city along with some wild rice.
As for the eggs, these come from young hens which produce smaller but nutritious eggs.

It was definitely a fulfilling meal as the meat was lightly charred on the edges but perfectly tender and moist.
Also tried the Chop Chop Char Siew which was leaner compared to the belly.

It really depends on which cut you like, for me I preferred the leaner cut as it was meatier and the charred edges were crispy with a slight stickiness.

To go with drinks, the the Crispy pork belly was just the treat.


The chef definitely had perfect chopping skills as you can see the pork is uniformly square with clean cuts and sharp 90 degree edges !!!!!
The meat and fat was evenly defined so each piece was moreish with a nice crispy texture. The roast was so good that I got some takeaway.


I like the way they use paper boxes like GoodBBQ as you won't get any CFC odour in the food.
It is always good to see Chinese roast going to the next level by becoming modern and presentable.

BBQ chicken wings @ Mcdonalds

The chicken products at McDonalds are burgers, coated chicken wings, and nuggets.

This time, they have come out with BBQ grilled wings.

I was surprised it tasted much nicer than the honey grilled wings at KFC.

The honey-grilled wings at KFC have been grilled to the extent that the chicken is slightly tough and the skin is a bit like plastic film. The KFC version is also sweeter. Being fair the texture of the wings also depends on if they were just done or been sitting there for a while.

The wings here taste almost the same as KFC’s honey wing, but they are also spicy, same as the hot wings at McD’s.
The wings are separated into mid-joints and drumettes which is more convenient than the one piece wing at KFC (a whole wing from tip to mid-joint).

The wings at McD’s are much juicier and the skin is thin and tender that it rips easily during consumption.
The bones are disjointed easily too, making it easy to eat without meat being stuck on the joints.
There is a slight spiciness just like the hot wings, but not as spicy.
It would have been good if there was a wedge of lemon (but impossible for a fast food chain like McD’s) or even lemon flavouring on the chicken.
The product shot is relatively the same as the real thing, but the lemon I thought was a bit misleading, since people would associated the taste with it.

BBQ baked beans and mini burgers @ Tony Romas

Havent been to Tony Roma's for a while, so decided to go for lunch.

I used to go to the branch at Times Square, where the ribs were soft and came off the bone easily.

For the set lunch, got the mini steak burgers, the steak was really good and the mustard that came with it was ok.
The salad was quite asian, but it still tasted ok.

The pumpkin soup was too sugary for my liking.

As for the salmon and fries, that fared average.
The beans were just BBQ beans.

The lunch came with a drink, so I ordered tea, however the water wasnt that hot, so the teabag didnt really infuse into it, the waitor must have overheard, so offered a fresh cup of tea.
