Golden Century BBQ

Having had roast duck at the OG Golden Century, it was probably the best roast duck I have had because they cooked it fresh to order at that time. The meat was flavoursome and juicy and the skin was paper thin and super crispy. It was very memorable so when friends told me they opened up a take away in a foodcourt, I was excited. The duck was juicy and skin was relatively crisp but it was worlds apart from that of the restaurant and in fact was mediocre compared to my suburban BBQ kitchens. The meat was quite flavourless for a roast duck. 3/5 The crispy skin pork had good crackling but was way too fatty and the meat was not marinated well enough. 3/5 The soy chicken was cold and dry and was the worst of the 3. 1/5. Price was ok and was obviously higher than normal given the location but that was expected.. Overall, a bit of a let down and probably deserved to be scored higher but given the high expectations, it should have been better than your average suburban bbq joint but sadly, it wasn't.

Very delicious portion size very good but the roast pork belly got soaked in the soup noodles which lost the crispy of the pork belly

We ordered 2 choices of meats with dry noodle ($24) and couple of dim-sum dishes ($6.80 for 2 pieces of siu-mai) for lunch. Food was yum and came out pretty fast. Food order was done through an ordering machine and everything was served in takeaway containers.

Ordered the Combination Roast Pork Belly and Roast Duck on Egg Noodles with a side serving of vegetables. The serving is generous and comes with a complimentary Soup. The Roast Pork was very good but the Roast Duck disappointing. It was dry and relatively tasteless.

Must try the crispy roasted pork belly and cucumber pickles . Is juicy and crunchy

Roast meats are pretty decent, BBQ Pork was still relatively crispy and great ratio of meat to fat. Roast duck is hit or miss depending on what cut you get. Dim sum dishes would have definitely been better more fresh, could tell they’ve sat in the steamer for a while - Char Siu Bao was still good, quite sweet but not overwhelming.

Amazing pork belly, ratio of fat and meat was just right. But would be better if the crispy pork was served on a separate plate if soup noodle is ordered as it makes the crispy pork soggy but other than that it tasted really good. Also this is more on the expensive side but the quality is definitely there.

I ordered duck with rice. It’s not bad actually. What impressed me most is the take away box graphic, colour and layout looks nice, hahaha. Anyway, it’s a good place to have a quick lunch and enjoy Chinese food.
