Mr Lee has been offering 不见天 Char Siew for more than 40 years. Literally translated, 不见天 (Bu Jian Tian) refers to “never sees the sky”, referring to the meat of the pig's armpit. It is said to be the most delicious part - marbled and tender. This premium meat is very rare as a pig has only 2 armpits and only a small portion can be used.
As reflected in his stall name '忠于原味云吞面', Mr Lee aims to bring his customers the original flavours. It takes him long hours to do that, and preparation begins in the wee hours at 3am. The meat is roasted in the traditional way using charcoal. As one can imagine, it can be unbearably hot in the hawker stall, with the roasting furnace at 300 degree celsius!
Why is 不见天 Char Siew so tasty? This is because the lean meat is layered with fat, and giving it a tender and juicy bite. The charred edges of the caramelised Char Siew render some smokiness to the meat.
The soup broth is cooked with premium ingredients like pig bones, anchovies, dried sole fish and radish. It goes well with the plump dumplings and wanton.
Give yourself a treat today! Just a word of caution - be prepared to queue for the delectable dish. If you're aiming the legendary premium pork, be there early.
