Xi'an-style Chinese hamburger with slow-braised meat in flaky flatbread at Clementi Mall.
Qin Ji Rougamo at Clementi Mall introduces diners to the rougamo, often called the Chinese hamburger — a flaky flatbread filled with slow-braised, fragrantly spiced meat.
Originating from Xi'an, the brand stays true to its roots with tender pork and beef fillings, complemented by options like cumin lamb and vegetarian versions.
Beyond the signature rougamo, the menu includes noodle dishes and sides from Shaanxi cuisine, offering a taste of northwestern China in a quick-service format. For a hearty, flavourful bite that is distinctly different from the usual mall fare, Qin Ji Rougamo at Clementi Mall is a must-try.
I ordered the sour and spicy minced pork potatoes noodles, pork rougamo and soy milk. The staff there are nice but, I literally press no coriander they still put coriander, I press less sugar for soy bean milk, it literally tasted like no sugar some more they gave me a bubble tea straw that doesn't even fit the cup🤔. Next, the sour and spicy minced pork potatoes noodles taste good but so less pork??The rougamo was really oily and a little bit too salty. But, I have to say the environment is still good.

A First-Timer’s Mixed Experience at a Chinese Eatery Drawn in by its inviting signboard and curious about its Chinese menu, I stepped into this eatery with cautious optimism. As someone unfamiliar with Chinese (China) cuisine, I decided to take a gamble and try two dishes: the Rice Noodle with Fatty Beef Slice Bean Sauce (酱烧肥牛米线) and the Qin Ji Pork Rougamo (秦记肉夹馍). The noodle dish arrived promptly. Visually, it looked standard—a bowl of broth with noodles, beef slices, and a hint of bean sauce. The broth carried the familiar mala (麻辣) kick—numbing and spicy—but the bean sauce flavor felt disappointingly faint. While the noodles themselves were a highlight (delightfully springy and chewy), the beef was thinly sliced and sparse, leaving me questioning the value for money. The star of the meal, however, was the Pork Rougamo. Crispy, flaky pastry encased tender, well-seasoned pork with a subtle kick from green peppers. Served piping hot, each bite was a satisfying crunch followed by savory, juicy flavors. It’s easy to see why this is their signature dish! As for the ambiance, the setup resembles a fast-food joint, so I kept my service expectations low. That said, a friendly staff member (of Indian ethnicity) stood out—she efficiently cleared tables and maintained cleanliness, contributing to the tidy dining space. Final thoughts: While the noodles left me underwhelmed, the Rougamo alone makes this spot worth revisiting. A solid choice for a quick, flavorful bite, especially if you prioritize texture and bold fillings over elaborate service.

“China rising!” 🇨🇳 💫 That’s the chant my foodie friends would tell me if I mentioned that I had Qin Ji spicy and sour potato noodles and their signature pork baked bun. The food is surprisingly delicious! The baked bun is not as oily as the typical ones that you get from the Chinese eateries. I’m refraining myself from finishing the super oily yet flavourful soup. Will I be back to Qin Ji again? Maybe yes, cos there’s a 50% discount when you order another set meal! #tiramisoooo #tramisoooojiaks #jiakjiakjiak #qinjirougamo #clementimall #chinarising.

Set C for $18.50 came with a drink, a RJM and a beef rice noodle. The noodle is nice and flavourful but pathetically small. Still hungry after the meal. TBH, at this price range vs value, they won’t survive for long.
