We have been ordering from De Tai for all our festive celebrations for the past 5 years. The roast meats are perfectly cooked every time. The service is always prompt and efficient. The prices are very reasonable. Consistently great on all fronts. A true neighbourhood gem.

I have been buying from this stall since I moved to Kovan. The roasted pork skin is very crispy while the roast chicken is nicely seasoned. The meat sold here is usually fresh and does not emit any odors.
