My opinion:

Yuan Li stands for river source and profits in Chinese. They sell traditional Singapore char siew rice, chicken rice and roasted delicacies. I have tried their char siew and roasted pork rice for lunch.

The owners were very generous in giving out meat and rice ingredients. Char siew was big, juicy and tender. Roasted pork was too dry and salty for my liking. The pork skin was also rough and not crispy enough. Rice was well cooked and had chicken fragrance. Chili was hot and spicy enough to add a few bonus points to the food. I will highly recommend the stall's char siew rice but suggest meat lovers to leave their roasted pork alone.
