I suppose even not as nice as Meng Kee's offerings is still good for some. tongue.gif


Actually the good mouth savouring charsiews are all laden with enormous amount of sugar. (as if most of us really care sweat.gif )

if the charsiew enter ur mouth, u taste lotsa sugar..then the sifu not enug kungfu edi...no more good charsiew around..sad..

the one at jalan peel..beside the petrol station use to be good but now the quality dropped as well..same too much sugar, covered the pork taste as well as the fragrance the charsiew suppose to delivery in ur mouth..

selection of pork is important..where the pork is from..frozen pork is no deal..also sometimes the chef cook with the same method, same recipe, same ingredient..

but..the ingredient changed..what i mean is, simple ingredient like soy sauce, black soy sauce, the manufacturer/factory changed their quality or maybe the bean that they use is different now..all these does affect the end product of any food...

so, sometimes we heard the chef said, i didnt change my recipe..all is the same..

prolly he didnt notice the changes in the ingredient cause he is
cooking the same thing everyday..and if the ingredient quality deteriorate slowly overtime, i bet no chef could really notice it coz he is using is daily.. unless a pro notice that and told him about it..

one dont taste sugar char siew but i know how's it's made, rather many mums (mine too) & many cooks too has charsiew recipes. i know the process which is why i mentioned. (not because i tasted sugar char siew) cool2.gif

Usually the combo of several does make one stand or not stand out against each other but the core recipe is 95%++ same across cool2.gif

It's not really sugar, well not totally. Some add sugar to lessen the cost. Usually it is maltose syrup that should be used. I have tasted 'Char Siew Chai', Tian Hong, Meng Kee, also there's one in Yulek where the husband sells it and the wife sells 'wanton mee', Also Kong Meng near Shamelin is also good. My opinion, Tian Hong in Salak South Garden is good provided you don't 'tapau' because once you 'tapau' the maltose hardens and gets very hard. Best bet is Kong Meng, although they specialise in roast duck but their 'char siew' is better. icon_rolleyes.gif

Agree with etigge, Tian Hong char siew need to eaten fresh out from the stove, while it is still hot.

Haven not tried Kong Meng, will need to try it one day.

crispy skin, duck itself is just normal.

They will cut out the skin to eat in Peking style (wrapping), rest of it they will serve as normal roasted duck.

can opt for 1/2 or whole bird.

I love Meng Kee in Glenmarie but I haven't been there in such a long time. I know her father is the one who used to be on Jalan Tengakat Tong Shin but is allegedly not as good any more.

As for Overseas Restaurant it's not bad. But did you know that they actually don't make it themselves? They actually get it from another shop... but I've forgotten what the name of the place is already...
