Top 9 Stalls To Check Out At Old Airport Road Food Centre!
1. Roast Paradise
This is definitely a go-to spot if you’re looking for some incredible roasted meats. Opened in 2016, Roast Paradise has since garnered a huge cult following. Specializing in Char Siew, it is first cooked in a drum under charcoal for three hours. It is then coated with a sweet sauce to give it a beautiful layer of caramelization. The result is a sweet-salty and succulent char siew that leaves you wanting more!
The Char Siew is cooked Kuala Lumpur style, meaning fattier cuts of meats are used and it’s roasted for a longer period of time. This gives it a perfectly caramelised and smoky exterior with an absolutely tender interior. Roast Paradise also offers delectable Roasted Pork, with an amazing crisp crackling. Definitely a must-try too!
Unit: #01-121
Operating Hours: Tues to Sun, 10.30am to 6.30pm
2. Dong Ji Fried Kway Teow
With waiting times of at least 20 minutes during lunch hour, there’s no doubt that Dong Ji serves up a tasty plate of Char Kway Teow. With more than 40 years of experience, the owner fries each plate of kway teow individually to ensure quality and consistency. Reminiscent of Penang char kway teow, Dong Ji’s is on the drier side and is less sweet as compared to our Singapore version. Each plate is packed with ingredients, delivering flavours of spice, smokiness, and eggy goodness.

From the numerous articles featured on their stall front, you’re definitely in for a treat at this popular spot. Unlike the usual type of Chee Cheong Fun, this stall’s Chee Cheong Fun is served with soy sauce instead of thick sweet sauce.

Another notable difference is the fact that it comes with different types of stuffings, including century eggs, fresh prawns, fresh scallops, preserved radish, char siew, and mushrooms. With its silky smooth noodle rolls, the stuffings shine through every bite. It is topped off with fried shallots and homemade sambal for an extra burst of flavour. Simply delicious!
