Char Casual Dining

Located along Jalan Besar, a one way road between Lavender and Farrer Park MRT stations, occupying two levels of a 4 story quaint conservation shophouse owned by The Lee Clan Association, is where you can find the Char Casual Dining Restaurant.

From outside, one will notice a plain glass wall, with scribbles of colored pen.  Inside, a cozy atmosphere welcomes.

Main specialty is their Charsiew, a roast pork belly which have a lovely tenderness, with the crackling crispness of the skin.

Also heard their boneless spare ribs with salted egg yolk sauce is also a must try,

To balance the meal, we had Tou Miaow with dried scallop, as the 3rd dish.

Overall, it was a satisfying meal, and the pricing is quite reasonable.  Spent around 60+ SGD for a table for 4.
