Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Happy World Roast delivers a nostalgic, old-school roast meat experience, with many reviewers highlighting the excellent char siew and roasted pork.

The char siew is consistently praised for its balance of fat and lean meat, sweet yet not overpowering sauce, and smoky, caramelised finish.

The roasted pork, often compared to German pork knuckle, features a crisp, golden crackling and well-marinated, savoury meat.

While the roast duck can be a bit dry and salty for some, the overall flavour is still considered good.

Sides like fragrant rice, soft vegetables, and perfectly cooked eggs also contribute to the traditional Cantonese feel.

We note the occasional long queues, especially during lunch, and the possibility of signature items selling out.

The consistency of quality, despite being a multi-generational hawker stall, is a recurring theme.

We'd recommend arriving after opening but before the main lunch rush to secure your preferred cuts.

This is a reliable spot for a satisfying, traditional roast meat meal.
