best roast pork belly in singapore siew yoke

Crispy, fatty, and meaty: Cantonese-style roast pork belly can do no wrong. These eight places in Singapore serve some of the country’s best examples.

Also known as siew yoke (Cantonese) or sio bak (Hokkien), roast pork belly originated from the southern Chinese province of Guangzhou and has since spread all over the world. It is typically marinated with five spice powder and salt, the skin prickled to encourage blistering, and roasted either in a charcoal or gas oven.

In Singapore, roast pork belly is usually available from barbecued meat stalls that also offer char siu or roast duck, or wanton noodle hawkers. See below on where to get some of Singapore’s top versions.

The skin is thin, almost wafer-like, which shatters to reveal juicy fat and tender meat with a lovely smokiness.

I want sister Claire to give her assessment on these stalls....Good meat goes along with big words !

It's unfortunate that shop at Keong Saik Road is no more, it sold one of the best roast pork.

The char siew was a bit too sweet, an acquired taste, not a dealbreaker.

Don't you all eat fish or other kinds of meat?

We eat the kind of meat that makes us more intelligent. Apparently your god doesn't like smart followers.
