I managed to track down Ho-Bee Roasted Food at Ang Mo Kio 628 Market & Food Centre, which was located at the 7-11 hawker centre in Ang Mo Kio Ave 8 for 8 years, before relocating to its current setting. Ho-Bee has, since, been running successfully for 18 years.

A long queue was stemming from the stall when I reached at around 3.15pm. It was way past lunch time but the queue kept getting longer.

All the roasted meats displayed behind the glass panel looked equally tantalising. This made my heart race a little as I couldn’t decide what to get! Because I wanted a little of everything, I thought that the “Each Person Set” ($7.50), which comprises roasted duck meat, roasted pork, bbq pork and white rice, was the perfect choice.

The roasted pork was bouncy and firm, and had a thin crackling on top. It was so crispy, and produced an audible crack when I bit into it. Its meat-to-fat ratio was just right, and I loved how juicy it was. My only gripe was that the roasted pork pieces were a tad small. Other than that, it was perfect. Also, don’t forget to dip the pork in their freshly-made chilli sauce for a spicy kick! Their chilli sauce is spot-on, and quite possibly the highlight of this meal. It left a moderate burning sensation which lingered  on my tongue. I really enjoyed the chilli as it paired flawlessly with the meat, and left me craving for more.

The roasted duck meat was very tender and succulent. It tasted even better when dunked into the light and aromatic gravy, and chilli sauce. I absolutely adored this combination of flavours. Pair it with some fluffy white rice, and you have yourself a satisfying lunch.

Fresh housemade achar is served alongside the dishes to cut through the greasiness of the meats.

The bbq pork, on the other hand, fell a little short of expectations. It lacked the char that I was looking forward to, and it didn’t have much fat. It was pretty lean and a little dry. The chilli sauce saved the dish by adding some flavour and mitigating the dryness.

Unfortunately, the Pork Ribs Rice ($3.50) left me disappointed. The pork ribs were not meaty at all. They were also slightly tough, and lacked the smoky flavour.

Overall, Ho-Bee Roasted Food is definitely worth a try. I will surely pay a second visit if I am in the area, and craving for some good roast meat. Be prepared to queue if you’re heading there!
