Rose Garden BBQ Shop - one of my favourite Chinese places, period. Food's mostly fantastic and unlike some of its counterparts (who shall remain unnamed) - the service there is generally very good as the Mrs.Boss and family are all rather friendly and generous with their smiles.
So I was at Victoria Market yesterday and wanted lunch - and decided to try their roast meats as I've never really tried it before. I opted for a mix of Honey Roasted Pork (Char Siew) and Crispy Skin Pork (Siu Yok) aka 叉烧烧肉饭 ($7.80).
My takeaway box :)\
Behold the golden red char siew!
AND the yummy siu yok!Seriously, the pictures speak for themselves. Doesn't it look so amazingly yummy!? The char siew was tender and delicious and juicy - and not too fatty. But I think the siu yok is fantastic. Although I am one of the very weird that doesn't really eat the crispy part of the pork - the pork itself was SO good. It was so less fatty than other siu yok I have seen, means I get more value for my meat! Cos I throw away fatty bits so normally I end up eating only half a siu yok but for Rose Garden's I can finish an entire piece! Yay!
Definitely getting this dish again in near future. Will try eating the crispy bits the next time...

i prefer dark burnt caramelised char siew..sorry to say..i dont exactly like aussie pork..got a bad smell..dunno why..but if im forced to haha..
Droooool, your takeaway box looks great! What!!?!! You don't eat the crackling?! :-O
Looked good. You missed out on cracklings big time. Haha. Well, at least youre taking care of your cholesterol level, which is good, in a way. Lol.
the crispy skin is the soul of the siu yok la!!!! :D
I agree that the owner is so nice! She's always smiling! I was soo surprised when I ate there! It was very different from other Cantonese restaurants experience that I've had.
I've had their fried rice with shredded duck and preserve vegetables before.Not bad, but I couldn't really find the duck pieces. I think they were there 'in spirit' haha.
Anyway, do you know whether their 'roast duck' is good?
As per the previous comments, the crispy part is the best part. Try it in future Mouse. The food at Rose Garden is great & good value but the place is always crowded. Well, i guess that is the indication of its goodness...
Won't this box of siu yok and char siew just wake you up?
rose garden is awesome, but don't you feel that you always walk out of it smelling like bbq and oil? especially when you're wearing a good jacket haha.
I love roast meats. I always end up ordering the duck although I'm sure it's terribly bad for you. It's just too yummy to pass up!
Your photos are sensational. So mouthwatering!
Rose Garden BBQ Shop .. hmm.. don't think I've ever noticed it, which is a bit of a shame.. the food looks really good!
Btw, does the siu yok/char siew give off the funny pork smell? :S
OMG I'm with the others, the sieu yook crispy skin is the best bit!
I'm lucky, Papa Stickyfingers trained for three months under one of the Hong Kong roast meat master chefs, so I always have excellent char siew in the freezer for those cravings.
Aiyoooo...people eat roast pork cos of the crispy skin and you throw it aways. But i always like the serving in Melb. Just look at the amount of meat, it's overflowing! I think hor, with that amount of meat, KL hawker can serve 4 plates oledi.
Hey IronEaters, are you guys busy with your exams? Get back soon! I'm looking forward to more posts!! *hungry*
OMG, you are so insanely CUTE!!
Cant wait for you to come home on Sunday, hmmm?
Taka hates you BTW!
-virtual hugs until Sunday-
so happy you've blogged about rose garden, my favourite take away place for good ol comfort food!
Rose Garden BBQ is amazing! Every time i have eaten there i always walk out with a smile and a full stomach. If you're after something a bit different try the stewed pork and lotus root. Trust me you wont be dissapointed.
