The hawker centre underwent a 3-months long renovation last year and is now comparatively cleaner and brighter. However, the persisting bird nuisance remains a issue to be addressed.
Look no further than People's Park Food Centre where I had the pleasure of discovering Hong Peng La Mian Xiao Long Bao 洪鹏拉面小笼包, a Michelin Bib Gourmand stall celebrated for its exquisite hand-pulled noodles, xiao long bao, and delectable dumplings.
I wasn't completely sure what Hainan fen was, which was precisely why I decided to give it a try at the newly renovated People's Park Food Centre (32 New Market Road #01-1100).

The duck did not have any crispy skin either. Apparently the third generation from Toh Kee, which closed on 1 Feb 2020 and is now revived by the grandson and ex head chef.
Meat was reasonably tender with full flavoured skin and some bits of fat.
The Penang assam laksa here might be a little pricier, but almost everything in the kitchen is freshly handmade and lovingly prepared by Ms Pat everyday.
The meat was a little chewy, moist but not juicy.
Nice as I remembered it.
We got ourselves a mixed roast meat - char siew, duck and roast pork. Pretty good.
