Best 'Char Siew' I have tasted is Overseas Restaurant in Imbi road. But for RM120 a kg. a bit high but nice.The one in Jalan Pasar, under the tree beside the closed petrol station is also quite famous for their 'glass char siew'. There is another one I heard in Taman Salak South which is sold for RM8 a plate of 'char siew rice' and will be sold out after 3 pm.

got 1 in Ampang at shoplots next to Lorenzo. Same row as LasCarretas but at the back. Next to a bike shop.

Its like i've tasted pork and honey for the first time. That's the only place I'd go for charsiew when the cravings kick in, no where else

lately, tasted one in ss2, the shop name is Toast & Roast...not bad

Best Char Siew I have tried is at Overseas Restaurant @ Subang Parade, damn nice, highly recommended. Try it, you will know.

hmm... i tried this couple of yrs back (same place) and the captain recommended the char siew also.
its not the soft, tender half fatty type that melts in your mouth, more of the standard roasted type, done a bit better.

however, that was my last visit there as the taste was abysmal and earned that branch a permaban from me liao.

Yup..i tried this one as well..their char siew are certainly above average. But a little too lean to my liking. Maybe i shd have ask for half fat falf lean..if they allow us to choose...

You can try Yat Moon Seafood restaurant at Bdr Puteri or its HQ Hou moon in Klang..nice Char siew & also roasted duck + siew york..

I don't do much research on Char Siew. But whenever I do crave for some Meng Kee at Glenmarie and Siu Siu, Seputeh/Robsons Height comes to my mind.

Yes Salak South Garden opposite the 7-11 , notable for the late appearance whenever lunch time for their char siew , and normally it's 3-4 tray of char siew and sold out by 2++pm , yes one of the best tasted also , not bad , melts in the mouth and yet still warm ,

dun need RM8 for a plate , just like any standard price

i felt meng kee at glenmarie is too chunky (not tender enough) and too sweet. but that's the daughter's restaurant. not sure how the original one at changkat bukit bintang tengkat tong shin fares

TS I compile the locations I know, please update to first post.

Spring Golden Restoran @ Sri Muda

Meng Kee @ Glenmarie

Restoran 747 @ Aman Suria

Famous Seremban @ Aman Suria

Toast and Roast @ SS2

Meng Kee @ Tengkat Tong Shin

Places I dunno:
Paramount one
Sek 17 LCLY one
Siu Siu Tmn Seputeh

I think I know which siu siu you are saying. When going thean hou temple from kl through federal highway, you'd turn left and uphill to thean hou but siu siu is just located a street before thean hou that street. Its a restaurant though that operate at night. I'm not sure whether noon got open or not. Name of the street is Lorong Syed Putra Kiri
Still no verdict for the best juicy char siew?

Its open during lunch hour. And their char siew usually will be sold out by lunch.

some of those muthafurckers who sell charsiew which melts in ur mouth are arseholes. they put sodium bicarbonate (meat tenderiser) when marinating the char siew then they roast. When you eat it, it taste so damn good. I found out about from a friend who sells good char siew. Can't mention stall name la. But u should see the AMOUNT of baking soda he puts into the marinade. Could very well melt my intestines.

ahhaaaa....this explained the melt in the mouth char siew..yet we can't really do it in home cooking...

Don't forget those really bright RED char siew hor...If u see those, try to avoid...It's Nila merah hor!! DYE.

Not all 'siew lap' people use soda larr! Don't generalise. Some lazy one does. Normally char siew has to be marinated 3 days in the fridge to tenderise it. Some wants fast results so they add soda into it. Some marinate with dark soya sauce as this contains soda also.
But if you can find char siew using pork belly (far lum) then there's no need to tenderise it as the fat when roasting will make the char siew melts in your mouth. But too expensive to use as consumers sure 'marah' for a plate of char siew rice costing RM6. I wanted to try once but went againts doing it. Overseas Resstaurant uses the 'far lum'.

Hi

1) ah khai from simon delight coffee shop http://kampungboycitygal.com/2010/02/ah-kh...-petaling-jaya/

2) best char siew in aman suria http://kampungboycitygal.com/2007/11/mba-h...tes-restaurant/

seremban fav nobody go. all taikong ppl hate coz is lousy and expensive.
char siew zhai sucks.

choon yien sek 17 wins them hands down. kie kie & aunty peggy is better than all of em.

actually i tot FSF is quite good, char siew zai depends on the cut they give u, sometimes they give u measly cut and sometimes they give u good parts.

meng kee not so nice already. n i like ah khai's chunky cut.

it all boils down to personal preference because unlike the caramelized version with sweet sticky sauce, Choon Yien’s version is simmered with some soy based gravy and sprinkled with garlic crust.

meng kee i agree.
but all those in aman suria for char siu apart from 747 is ....full of fails.

don't argue. jui moon heen serves the best char siew. it's in their CCF

where bro? address pls

jui moon heen is famous and needs no introduction.

Is Meng Kee at Tengkat Tong Shin closed?

I think they moved.. I last went around 2 months ago.. saw the ori shop became a convenience store

ss2 wai sek kai got really good char siu rice

Hi,

I love char siew too and there's 2 great stalls at Cheras selling great char siew. I've add the link. One is at Jalan Peel, near Carrefour, there's a petrol station (Shell, if not mistaken) and not far from Shell, is this Kar Kar Loi stall. Apart from selling char siew, they also sell lovely Lou Chue Yoke (braised pork).

http://patrickyong.spaces.live.com/Blog/cn...!2564.entry

2nd stall is Uncle Meng, located at taman shamelin. Link as below.
http://foodbin.blogspot.com/2009/12/restoran-uncle-meng.html

So which one you think is better? I tried the second stall as its near to my house.

No news for where meng kee at tong shin went to?

JMH got char siew meh?
