One of the highlights from our Four Heavenly Kings roast meat platter was undoubtedly the Crispy Pork Belly. Served in thick, even slices, each piece boasted a beautifully golden crackling that shattered with every bite, revealing juicy, tender layers of meat and fat beneath. The skin was perfectly rendered crunchy and aromatic while the seasoning on the meat was just right, allowing the natural pork flavors to shine through. It was evident that this dish was executed with care and precision, as the pork belly not only looked impressive but also delivered on taste and texture.

At Four Heavenly Kings, diners have the option of choosing between two types of roast duck, Cantonese or Irish. The Cantonese Roast Duck, a popular style commonly sourced from Malaysia and beloved for its traditional flavours. The duck arrived with beautifully glistening skin, showcasing a deep, roasted hue that hinted at its flavorful marinade. Each slice revealed juicy, tender meat beneath a layer of slightly crisp skin, with a familiar aroma that reminded us of classic roast duck stalls around the region. The seasoning was well-balanced, allowing the natural richness of the duck to come through without being overpowering.

The Signature Irish Roast Duck is undoubtedly the showstopper at Four Heavenly Kings and for good reason. Unlike the more commonly found Cantonese-style roast ducks, this premium offering stands out for both its quality and rarity, as few eateries in Singapore serve Irish duck. From the first bite, the difference was clear. The meat was noticeably more tender, juicier, and richer in flavour, yet completely free from the gamey notes often associated with duck. It carried a refined fragrance and luscious texture that left a lasting impression.

What truly elevated the dish was the aromatic herb sauce generously drizzled over the duck, enhancing its depth and making each slice all the more irresistible. For those seeking a more indulgent and memorable roast duck experience, the Irish Roast Duck is a must-try centerpiece.

The Roasted Chicken was a crowd-pleaser with its beautifully bronzed skin and juicy meat. Glazed to a glossy perfection, the skin was delightfully crisp, giving way to tender, succulent flesh beneath. Each cut was juicy and evenly roasted, locking in the natural flavors without being overly oily. It had that familiar comforting taste of traditional Cantonese roast, done right, well-marinated and expertly executed. A dish that may seem humble, yet leaves a lasting impression at the dining table.

No plate of chicken rice feels complete without a side of freshly grated ginger. At Four Heavenly Kings, their housemade ginger dip truly elevated the experience. Light, fragrant, and finely grated, it offered just the right amount of warmth to cut through the richness of the roasted meats. Paired with the tender roasted chicken, each bite was enhanced with a comforting zing that only fresh ginger can provide. It’s a simple yet essential touch that reflects the care put into the meal.

Looking to elevate your roast delights? Don’t skip the chili! Their signature chili sauce packed a punch with a bright, tangy heat that complemented the savoury richness of the roasted meats perfectly. A small dip goes a long way — just enough to awaken the palate without overpowering the natural flavors. It’s the kind of chili that makes each bite more addictive than the last. If you’re one for bold flavours, this is a must-try!

Another highlight will be their caramelised Char Siew. Beautifully caramelised on the outside, each slice revealed a good ratio of fats to meat, just the way it should be. The slightly charred edges added a smoky depth, while the glaze was sweet and sticky, clinging to the tender pork and creating that perfect melt-in-the-mouth texture. It was indulgent without being overly greasy, and every bite was packed with flavour. A must-order for fans of traditional Cantonese-style roast meats.

The plump, filled dumplings were undoubtedly satisfying. Served in a bowl of five, each dumpling was generously packed and beautifully encased in a delicate yet firm skin.

The bite revealed springy prawns, complemented by the crunch of black fungus, adding a pleasant textural contrast. It was a simple dish, yet done right, juicy, flavourful, and comforting.

The wantons, on the other hand, carried a nostalgic charm, the kind that instantly brought back memories of comforting bowls of wanton mee from childhood. Light, savoury, and tender, each piece was a familiar reminder of simple joys and flavours that have stood the test of time.
