Xiang Mei Roasted Meat & Chicken Rice at Goodview Gardens, 395A Bukit Batok West Ave 5 is actually their second outlet.
The address leads me to a annex building next to the multi-storey carpark where amenities such as a coffee shop, a clinic, a hair salon, a pet groomer and a Chinese medical hall are housed in.
Do take note that Xiang Mei is not one of the stalls inside the coffee shop but they took up tenancy in one of the shops outside it.
The eatery is not too big but it is clean and brightly lit with good ventilation owing to the tall ceiling. I feel really comfortable dining there.
There is no table service here. You have to place your own order at the counter where a beeper will be given to you after payment. Head back to the counter to collect your food once the device go off.
The original stall is still operating inside the S-11 coffee shop at Bukit Batok Central behind the bus interchange.
They have been serving roasted duck, char siu (bbq pork), siu yuk (roasted pork) and siu gai (roasted chicken) at this location for the last twenty odd years.
According to them, they have their beginnings at Bencoolen Street since the 1920s. This makes their brand more than a century old!
