Mei Mei Roast Meat – Run by the Younger Sister of the Former Owner of Kay Lee Roast Meat

I really miss the good ol’ days before Kay Lee Roast Meats sold their recipe. When I heard about Mei Mei Roast Meat, a stall operated by the younger sister of the former owner of Kay Lee, I was intrigued.

It’s pretty challenging to nab an empty seat here during peak hours. Located in an industrial coffee shop along Ubi Road 1, Mei Mei Roast Meat is really popular amongst the mechanics who work nearby. There are only two people managing the stall —lady boss Mdm Lee chops the meat while her assistant takes orders. Mdm Lee used to work for her sister at Kay Lee for 15 years before starting Mei Mei Roast Meat.

Every morning, Mdm Lee comes in bright and early to roast the ducks in the stall. Before lunch, ducks with shining, reddish-brown skin are seen hanging in the display. Upon order, Mdm Lee skilfully chops the meat into evenly-sized pieces without messy bone fragments. The moment the glorious roasted duck landed on my table, it awakened all our senses. The skin was thin with a hint of smokiness. The marination was good enough to cover up the gaminess and the fragrant meat was full of flavour. To be honest, I was expecting my duck to be more tender and juicy, but my friend said that it was almost impossible to find very tender duck meat in Singapore.

What impressed us at Mei Mei Roast Meat was the char siew. The alluring red exterior was slightly charred, and the meat was moist. The thin layer of fat and tender lean meat will tempt you to go for another piece. There is a hint of sweetness when you bite into all the layers together. All you need is a mound of white rice, lip-smacking sambal chilli, and most importantly, a hungry stomach.

While you are here at Mei Mei Roast Meat, you can also try their braised items and double boiled soups. The duck soup with salted Chinese mustard is so comforting.

If you are looking for old Cantonese roast meats, this is the place to go!
