Lunchy @ The Roast House

Running errands in the western Singapore bought me to this coffeeshop at CCK Blk 429, to escape from the killing weather, we decided to have lunchy. Typical coffeeshop selling chinese food but 1 stall that caught my eyes....

Bearing white signage it says...The Roast House. Seems like a normal western food in any other coffeeshop but this stall is sellling roast! Their signature dish is Roast Chicken which is hardly found in coffeeshops which I had gone to, or I should say non. They do sell others like BBQ Honey Chicken Chop, Black Pepper Chicken Chop, Crispy Chicken, Spaghetti and Fish & Chips.

My kids ordered their usual fav spaghetti with Chicken Chop, wifey ordered "lady's choice" Fish & Chips, while I decided to try their Roast Chicken. Understood from the stall owner that the chix is abt 1kg ,which is, I think would be ok for me.

The setup of the stall and the equipments used wasn't our typical kinds. No hot plates but fryers and a big silvery oven seen at the rear end of the stall. While the owner's wearing an apron with the words "Culinary Institution of America", I asked if he came back from America learning how to cook. Which I understood that he is actually graduated from Singapore's 1st batch of culinary students from CIA (Singapore) at Temasek Poly.

Food came fast (less than 10mins), the presentation was much better than normal western food with most of the chops "erracted", nicely plated, the whole roast chicken served in what it seems to be a chopping board but nicely presented.

Spaghetti with chicken chop is loved by my kids and the chop is tender with slight crisp on the skin. Spaghetti is well cooked not too hard nor soft with just enough tomato sauce.

Fish & chips comes with a serving of coleslaw, sautéed button mushrooms and of cos fries, fries are the better cuts (thicker types but not wedges). Fish is crispy outside but tender inside without the fishy smell and of a thicker fillet. Sautéed mushroom is nicely frangence with herbs while the coleslaw is a mixture of cabbage, purple cabbage & carrots, nicely crunchy bites without overly sweeten.

Roast Chicken stuffed with great frangence of rosemary herb, carrots, celery, onion and lemon. The juice if the chix could be seen seeping out from the chix. Many diners are concerned about the dryness of the chicken breast ,but trust me, this is different.  The breast is moist and tasty, you have to try to witness it. The aromatic frangence enhance the overall dining experience which is a rare find in coffeeshops.  The juice within the chicken thigh when you pry open the drum just flows onto the board. It's a real good experience esp when you eat using your hands.

Good quality food which is hardly found in coffeeshops which you must visit if you're near Choa Chu Kang. Thumbs up for the stall which live up to the name."The Roast House"
