Kam's Roast
continuing with the theme of Chinese food, we cover a franchise that is something of an institution in its home country. with its roots stemming from famous roast goose restaurant Yung Kee in Hong Kong, Kam's Roast is a by-product of the family business' brand diversion. the outlet in Wan Chai Hong Kong has drawn scores of crowds since its opening in 2014. having been brought into Singapore by the folks behind Tim Ho Wan and Tsuta, it's reputation and media following has given the franchisees confidence to open in a fairly quieter location of Pacific Plaza.
perhaps not the most prominent shop front as well, tucked behind a pair of escalators. and unlike its Hong Kong main outlet, there is no goose served in the Singapore edition, thus taking the name Kam's Roast only (without any mention to the latter poultry). nonetheless, we loved all things Hong Kong and were somewhat surprised that it took us so long to try this in Singapore for the first time. 
without goose, the signature dish at this restaurant would be roast duck. it can be served in quarter portions, half-portions or whole. we ordered a quarter serving, of which we chose the lower-half which is supposedly more juicy. i personally think that selling duck these days is all about honesty, i mean, given that poultry production these days are generally quite advanced, you probably only would get lotsa bones because some dishonest salesman was trying to sell you some other parts. gladly, this was not the case at Kam's, with the meat portions generous, easy to eat and well roasted. 
the same could be said about the roast meat served here. this mixture of BBQ Char Siew and roasted pork was awesome. the pork crackling had a layer of very crispy skin, and beneath it was tender and flavourful meat. the Char Siew was glazed with honey and well marinated and probably, if this dish was served on its own, would have made a very addictive snack. the roast cuts at Kam's goes very well with steamed white rice and probably lived up to its standards from its Hong Kong counterpart. 
in all, it was an enjoyable experience for us. probably also with the hype having quite settled here, we avoided the massive queues that we experienced when we were in Hong Kong a couple of years back. the quality control of the food ensured that local patrons are not missing out and service here was probably better as well. it's just a pity still, that Singapore doesn't serve goose...
