Try Choon Yien in PJ Sec 17. I won't say it's the best but it's def quite good. Its in the same housing estate block as My Elephant, near the shell station. Bonus is easy parking  icon_rolleyes.gif

mengkee's dry and the portion is ridiculously small. At least for the branch in Kuchai Lama. Weren't they previously located behind Tongshin Hospital? I would say their std dropped alot.

Definitely the Spring Golden Restaurant opposite NSK Sri Muda. Literally melts in your mouth, always have stock (they kept roasting charsiew at the back and bring to front), quick service, not too crowded, can have as much charsiew as you want, no mix.

Meng Kee at Glenmarie no fight, small portion, must mix with chicken/roast pork, slippery/yucky floor, too crowded.

meng kee in jln alor (now manned by the dad), The original was at the Lot nearer to the condo/hospital, off jln alor then now located to the current stall/shop along jln alor itself. (opposite Ah Weng's jln alor) The old man is approaching is latter years, so the chopping of the meat (he still is the expert) may be slower. Always best to get it just as they open for the day. Really.

meng kee in glenmarie (his daughter/family)

meng kee in kuchai entrepauners park (brother/family)


Thats was told by their daughter or along those lines when we had our meal at the glenmarie outlet. Which was how we found out and were given the Kuchai outlet flyer (then when they just opened their Kuchai branch). But the original Kuchai's concept intended was suppose to be slightly different to the glenmarie outlet. (not sure if its still maintained). Don't know where we kept the flyer.

Not sure of the kota kemuning's meng kee or cheras connaught. We haven't chatted with the owners for some time. Remember the Chinese has so many ah fook, ah kau, ah loy etc. so don't be surprise that some may just cash in. just like Heng's Bak Kut teh, or ah Heng's Bak Kut teh. There are stories of the original.



I do find the glenmarie the best since its the largest outlet & a steady stream of customers ensure just 'ready' char siew's, followed by the jln alor. Wasn't impressed by the Kuchai's outlet as they seemed 'indifferent' & seemingly smaller portions that seemed to maximise profit.

Standard at glenmarie is still good BUT ensure its just before large lunch crowd, which we normally do. No guarantee that ones personal 'satisfaction' is entertained if there are so many hunger people all wanting the same thing. tongue.gif

As always the 'best cuts' fly out really fast (glenmarie). Once we came the later part of lunch we found the bits a bit drier, as with all the good bits layered of juicy fat all snapped up.
This business is always about the old-school-type of business, one need to know 'just' when to drop in tongue.gif for the best char siew in town.
