Sweet-Tooth Guppy:

After a long hiatus! The Hungry Guppies’ appetite has grown even STRONGER and HEARTIER…Nothing can satisfy the lust of our taste buds…. except for MEAT… loads and loads of flesh..  with bones and fats… We want protein!

Therefore, it’s with immense pleasure and satisfaction that we are recommending this stall at Lau Pa Sat today.

Yes yes yes… I know that some people have labelled Lau Pa Sat as an overpriced food place just for tourists and the yuppies of Shenton Way BUT I beg to differ on this view.

Lau Pa Sat, to me is quite a haven for a good meal. That’s provided you know which stall to buy from. Yes.. the power of knowledge can placate your picky taste buds!

Here’s one stall which didn’t disappoint the Hungry Guppies!

Mang Kiko Lechon Stall #27

Funny!

Come to Mama! Yummy Roasted Chicken

The stall sells roasted chicken, pork, pork belly and though I have never been much of a meat person especially pork… but I MUST say that the roasted chicken is simply fantastic. It is not over-roasted and the meat is not too tough nor is it undercooked with a  strong bloody taste. It is done JUST RIGHT. The meat was marinated well and it is very tasty. I usually don’t eat chicken skin but i gobbled up the skin of this roasted chicken. YUMMY!

The roasted pork on the other hand is delicious! It tastes a little bit like pork satay. I don’t quite fancy the lard but I do enjoy the chewy texture of the lean parts.

Here’s a photo of our takeaway meat dishes.

The meat aren’t chopped to look good but being I am never one for the LOOKS of the food. The TASTE of the food is what matters to me. The meat is served with sliced cucumbers which help to refresh the taste buds in between the hearty mouthfuls of meat. You can also ask for rice to go along with the meat if you need some carbo for your meal.

Another good thing about Mang Kiko Lechon is the selection of sauces that they offer!

Help yourself to the sauces, there’s this salty-soya sauce tasting black sauce, mildly spicy vinegar and wweet sauce (the greenish looking one). No points for guessing the favourite sauce of the sweet-toothed guppy. yes, I like the sweet greenish sauce but I prefer my meat at its original taste. I don’t really need to enhance the taste of the meat with the sauces at all. Yup, that’s how good it is to me! one thing that can be improved: BIGGER servings please!!! hahaha…

Papa Guppy says:Delicious! Ever since last Friday when I first bit into the succulent chicken meat and the tasty roasted pork, I have been looking forward to eating them again. I prefer the roasted chicken for health reasons as the roasted pork is a little too fatty with the lard. Nevertheless, I think that both the chicken and pork are very flavourful. They have been marinated well. I will be happier if they serve more vegetables along with the meat though but otherwise, this is a good stall at Lau Pa Sat for a satisfying meaty meal.

 Chilli-Padi Guppy says: I do enjoy eating the roasted pork but I will try to avoid the more fatty parts as it gets a little “jelat” (heavy-tasting) after a few pieces. The chicken is really arommatic and tasty. Its texture is just right. I like the spicy vinegar sauce which tastes rather special but the other sauces are just as good. Each sauce gives you a different unique flavour but actually, the meat itself is already quite flavourful without the sauces.

 Grumpy Guppy says:I am quite particular with the food I eat and was pleasantly surprised with such a find at Lau Pa Sat. I have never expected something so good to actually come out from Lau Pa Sat as I had a rather bad impresion of it. Infact, I avoid having to buy food from Lau Pa Sat. The roasted chicken is my preferred meat from the stall as it does not taste too fatty unlike the pork (which is good but just a little fatty-tasting). However, I do think that the portion is a little too small. Otherwise, this is still one of the few (really, I can count with one hand) stalls which I will patronise.
