Sum's Kitchen & Hong Kong Roasted Meat (香港深記飯店) @ Sembawang Road - A Well Kept Food Haven in the North

SumsKitchen6

Venturing into the northern part of Singapore is a rare occurrence for me, typically reserved for exceptional food finds. This time, accompanied by my fellow food enthusiasts, we made our way to Sembawang to explore the wonders of Cantonese cuisine - Sum's Kitchen & Hong Kong Roasted Meat (香港深記飯店). A gem hidden from the limelight, my friend, a regular patron, half-jokingly urged us to keep this place a secret to preserve its charm.

Soup of the Day

Commencing our meal with the Soup of the Day ($8/$12/$16), a robust concoction featuring duck, lotus root, corn, and carrots. Its warmth and heartiness set a comforting tone for lunch.

Roasted Duck $54 Whole Duck

The pièce de résistance, Sum's Kitchen's Hong Kong Style Roasted Duck ($54 Whole Duck), demands a pre-order at least a day in advance, a testament to its popularity. The duck, masterfully roasted, boasted a delightful crispness on the skin, revealing succulent meat within.

Sweet and Sour Pork 

The Sweet and Sour Pork ($12/$18/$24) showcased a harmonious balance of sweetness, the meat skillfully coated in a light, flavourful batter. The dish refrained from an excess of flour, ensuring each bite was a perfect blend of textures.

Deep Fried Squid with Salt & Pepper $14/$21/$28

Next up, the Deep Fried Squid with Salt & Pepper ($14/$21/$28). Expertly cooked to a satisfying bounce, the plump squid was encased in a thin, crispy batter. The sprinkling of salt and pepper added an addictive quality to this dish.

Fried Kailan with Mei Cai $10/$15/$20

An intriguing surprise was the Fried Kailan with Mei Cai ($10/$15/$20), a unique combination that elevated the crunchy greens, introducing an extra layer of texture and flavour to the dish.

Black Bean Paste with Bittergourd

Another revelation was the Black Bean Paste with Bittergourd ($10/$15/$20). This unexpected pairing worked wonders, infusing the dish with an additional depth of flavour.

Steamed Minced Meat with Salted Fish 3.8/5

Concluding our feast was the Steamed Minced Meat with Salted Fish ($12/$18/$24), a savory dish paired well with a bowl of rice. While the meat was moist, I found it slightly fatty for my taste, desiring a meatier texture.

Situated within 785E Woodlands Rise Food Paradise coffeeshop is Yakiniku Kura, a Japanese Yakiniku Stall offering yakiniku sets, perfect for those looking for an affordable charcoal yakiniku experience in the North. While the coffeeshop setting might not be the most suitable for yakiniku, we managed to grab a seat outside, which is more ventilated.

They offer a wide variety of set menus to cater to solo diners and large groups, starting from $7.80. It includes Pork and Chicken Set ($7.80 for 150g), Karubi and Kata-Rosu Set with Beef Short Plate and Chunk Eye Roll ($10.80 for 120g), and Wagyu Beef Steak Set with authentic Wagyu Beef Striploin ($18.80 for 120g). All sets are served with rice, soup, and a side dish (usually kimchi) for a complete meal.

We opted for the Premium Beef Platter (from S$35.80 for small), which has generous servings of short plate, chuck eye roll, oyster blade, beef tongue, meltique striploin, and short rib. All platters are served with three dipping sauces — yakiniku sauce, sweet sauce and ponzu sauce.

We also had the Wagyu Beef Steak, a top-up of S$15 for 100g of premium wagyu, and the Hokkaido Snow Pork Belly Set (from S$9.80). The meats are superbly tender, with a distinct charcoal flavour from grilling over the charcoal fire.
