Had a really yummy-licious spread of roast meats and noodles from @hengheng.roasted.delights today ! The noodles were excellent in texture and taste despite it being a food delivery as we all know that noodles tend to get overly dry or soggy after takeaway but surprisingly not in this case. 👍

Amongst all the roast meats, my personal preference will be the Char Siew though. Contains a good amount of fats and is roasted to a well balance of char-ness.

That's also the homely Chicken Feet, Peanuts and Radish Soup to balance up the greasiness. And all in all, a pretty well-deserving hearty meal sourced from our local heartlands ! #supportlocal
