I'm a huge fan of good charsiew.

So far I know a few only in Klang Valley:-

1. MengKee Charsiew in Glenmarie
2. Restaurant Oversea along Imbi Road
3. Canton-i outlets
4. Sun Ming Kee in Taman Connaught (this place is famous for its duck though)
5. Wantan meen stall in a Coffeeshop in Taman Yew Lek (forgot the name of coffeeshop)

Anybody knows anywhere else I can get good charsiew?

I like charsiew that melts in the mouth when you eat it.

selling wantan mee...very nice.

The best 'char siew' I have tried is Overseas Restaurant in Imbi Road, no doubt about it but at RM120 per kilo, it's expensive. Other than that there's one in Taman Salak South in front of 7-11 there. This place have to eat in as their 'char siew' hardens if tapowed because of the maltose. The 'char siew' is tasty though. Sun Ming Kee is so so only and also Fatt Kee in front of Pudu Plaza, the 'char siew' is also so so only as both of these specialises in roasted duck.

They say the roasted duck in Kong Meng in Taman Maju Jaya near Shamelin is good but suprisingly I find the duck so so but their 'char siew' and roasted pork belly is nice The 'porr li char siew' in Jalan Pudu also is not so nice anymore, probably because the brothers have splitted up.

maybe should try this restaurant char siew before you rate
3.083769,101.696292
Kinda pricey a bit (single rice with char siew rm 7)and make sure dont go at lunch time sure full

Yalorr, this is the one I mentioned lorr. It's located in Taman Salak South. The shop is in front of 7-11 mah.

The char siew fan in Jalan Alor is well known.
I would give it 7 out of 10.

etigge, the Overseas Restaurant in Imbi, how much do they sell roast pork per kilo? Isetan KLCC prices it at RM69/K.

I prefer Meng Kee glenmarie...

I think you mean the 'char siew fan' in Jalan Tong Shin. I don't recall any in Jalan Alor that is nice. Personally I never tried it but seen the stall with racks and racks of 'char siew'. Hard to find parking there. Or probably if I wanted to eat there, I prefer eating the beef noodle there Roasted pork at RM69 per kilo is cheap, are you sure? Because a kilo of pork belly is already RM25 to RM30. Factor in the gas/coal, seasonings, labouring near high heat and the 30% shrinkage, that's cheap.

Please don't mix up 'siew pye' with 'siew chee'. Siew chee is the roasted whole pig which is cheaper and 'siew pye' is roasted pork belly which is the most expensive part of the pig. I get into many arguments with those ignorant 'ah sou's when they buy. They don't back down too I don't know the price in Overseas for roasted pork, sorry.

Not in Klang Valley, but there is this place in Petaling Jaya (Happy mansion). The char siew is very nice (and also the roasted chicken). It's so famous that the char siew is usually sold out by 12.30pm (sometimes even 12pm already finish). So, usually people will sms to "book" the char siew first. Price-wise, is slightly expensive I think. RM6.50 for a plate of char siew rice (can't remember how much is it for just char siew). If you want the phone number, just PM me.

can tell how to go ah

thus far

yulek, corner shop, same row as 7-11. its the last shop

mind you you need to go early as the waiting time is epic and thefood finishes damn fast

however it probably has one of the best non-expensive char siews in town

Meng Kee super expensive. For alternative in Shah Alam, try Golden Spring located behind Public Bank Sri Muda Shah Alam. It's as good as Meng Kee..

The tin-roof shop in Tong Shin has shifted to the other end of Alor (further away from Sungai Wang), since quite a few years ago.

yes, RM69/k for siu yeuk (roast pork) at Isetan KLCC is correct. RM69/K is cheap?? i thought that is expensive. Relative told me in small towns (e.g. outside Klang Valley), the price is around RM30/k but this was a few years ago. About a year ago, PJ section 14 in a supermarket was selling it at around RM60/k. But complaints from muslim customers forced them to stop roasting on the premises. Even MidValley you will find it hard to find them. Jusco used to roast on their premises but they also no longer do it.

I think you can easily find the location from Google maps by searching for Happy Mansion, Section 17. The shop's name is Restaurant Choon Yien. It's opposite the former 6 to 10 Grill & Nasi Lemak (shifted to Aman Suria already).

Yea i think i've heard of the charsiew in Salak South. Will try soon. Thanks a lot etigge
You seem like a foodie with experience



I might be wrong, but is this the corner coffeeshop that sells the wantan mee and chicken rice with fantastic charsiew? I think the husband operates the chicken rice stall where as the wife operates the wantan mee stall. Both uses the same charsiew.

Tian Hong in Salak South is a top ranker.
unfortunately parking is tough.
