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.

btw here alrd got charsiew thread liao de.

Well i went thr b4, nt bad.

Restoran BBQ at Jalan Ipoh!

the chain la

many shopping centre got de

A vey is back...huat liao

ok tenkiuk veli much, later Imma search at the nearest The Chain jiken lice shop for meh halal char siew

I've just heard from one of my colleagues that there's a place in Cheras 11th mile serving good charsiew. Does anyone know where it is?

its easy to get there.
if you coming from sg besi, go to the mines shopping mall. drive straight all the way into balakong.
this shop used to be under an old wooden shed looking shop but they moved to a new shoplot which is located opposite to nissan service center.
well, not exactly opposite but rather the row behind.
so if you coming from the same road, the shoplot will be on your left (obviously nissan SC on your right). go around the shoplot and you'll see the only restaurant selling "siew lap" (chicken, duck, etc)
oh... their duck is good too...

IS there one there? Is it near the Lan Che steam fish? I thought the famous roasted duck and char siew (siew lap) in Cheras 11th mile is near the traffic lights junction to Silk highway. At the traffic lights go straight on towards the village and the stall is just on the right hand side after the traffic lights. It is actually the former worker for Sun Meng Kee in Taman Connaught. It is quite busy too.

toast and roast ss2

eh why nobody say ah khai char siew at paramount? gooding yo. except that is not a good idea to order "pun fei sou" (half fat lean) cos is SUPER FAT.

linkz0r

i go paramount to eat duck at sunrise or loong foong only

Friday lunchtime i went sunrise super packed ended up makan kfc nearby.

Added on September 5, 2011, 5:24 pmthis ah khai is used to be opposite one kopitiam nearby housing area rite? Simon's delight rite?

he used to be in restoran simon's delights, then he kena evicted so he moved nearby to restoran mei yen.

fucuked up thing is the old place owner still operate using his signboard lulz

yes mei yen izzit. Its which part of paramount? nearest landmark? i stayed in seapark hence very familiar with the place.

its the same shop im talking about but they moved d. no longer in front of the traffic light

so far, i only tasted these two only.. hehehee
and love both...

I only like Kow Kah Mu

Kow Moo Daeng, almost similar but slightly different in preparations but basically the same

i prefer my char siew sauce to be abit dry and sticky lol~~

this is good.. i can eat 3 meals in the same day

Eiiii This is not char siew fan but Stewed pork/duck fan leh..You salah topic liao

ahah intentionally
someone was talking about thai bbq so i got triggered

Golden Spring, Sri Muda Shah Alam.
+1

are you talkin about the duck/charsiew/siewyoke on jalan besar in balakong? opposite the dewan?
not bad....

The place is called Chee Xiang. It is just beside Kian Classic beside the traffic lights.

surprised no one mention taman gembira siew yook and char siew.

Try this very nice

Toast & Roast

Closed on Tuesday

slowpoke

i eated toast and roast until dish out

How to eat until dish out?

in fact tmrw i go and eated again hehe. near my ofis oni.

How about Restoran Siu Siu Sg Besi?

Roast and Toast nice ah? lol..

i find their hakka noodle nicer than their famous char siew.

Last time ppl said that Seremban char siew at Sunway Mas nice..still there kah..me wanna try again...long time dy din visit them

yup. their hakka noodle + char siu + siew yuk is awesomeness.

char siew and siew yuk so so la.

But noodle is nice for me, not too dry or too wet

Tell me which shop in KL can beat Sunrise and Loong Foong, i would go there the first thing in the weekend. Sunrise is so totally awesome! And freaking crowded too!!

Sorry off topic.

There a Meng Kee at Jalan Alor. Next to Nova Hotel. Operates from a stall at a coffee shop. It's as expensive but worth it.

Fatt Kee, a hawker stall in front of Pudu Plaza. Only at daytime.

sorry go off topic... where is this stewed pork? i also wanna know

everywhere in thailand.. its' called kow kah moo

I personally tried Meng Kee Char Siew and it's nice but I don't like the way they force customers to order chickens together with Char Siew. They deny any single Char Siew order. Anyone here tasted their chicken? It's salty!

For my personal preference, I prefer Ah Khai's Char Siew located at Mei Yen, Seksyen 20, PJ. He has now shifted to Restaurant Mei Yen instead of Simon's Delights (The Chicken and Char Siew stall at both Simon Delight and Mei Yen bear the same uniform so please do not make a mistake).

Into Mei Yen? As i know Mei Yen only operate at nite for the hokkien mee and fried lala.
So that means at nite also got ah khai's char siew?

Best is in ampang..soo kee. Dont think theres any competition near it

Not sure about night but I am pretty sure they do open on afternoon as well.



Picture above is the mentioned Mei Yen restaurant. Are we talking about the same restaurant?

Then Ahkhai here i come this friday!~

Damn long didnt eat charsiew since working for 1year++ in heavy Malay populated area

I love char siew too. Haven't try the one at Restaurant Overseas Imbi, coz dunno 1 plate will cost how much. There's a stall at Jalan Peel, which serve delicious char siew and Braised Pork Knuckle. It's located along the Shell Petrol Station at Jln Peel. The stall name is Jia Jia Lai. I've attached a link for easy reference: http://klchin.blogspot.com/2011/02/jalan-p...raise-pork.html
Open on weekends.

Another stall selling good char siew will be at a chinese coffee shop name Uncle Meng. At this shop, got many other stalls and one of it is selling chicken rice/char siew rice. It is located at Taman Shamelin Perkasa. If u know the cafe Pat Kin Pat San which is at the front row, then this chinese shop is located at the end of the row. U'll see this Uncle Meng shop, and the char siew only available around 11.30am onwards till sold out. Not open on Sunday.

When was the last time you visit the shop?
I tried it few weeks ago and it was Ok only compared to the same stall I tried a year ago.

I also like the char Siew fro jln peel

U meant Jln Peel stall or Uncle Meng stall? I didn't eat the char siew at Jln Peel for quite some time d (more than a year ago), but the last time i eat, the char siew is tasty and especially the braised pork is delicious. As for Uncle Meng's stall, my parents tar pau almost once a week, i eat a bit of the char siew, and taste just nice. I like roasted meat (siew yoke, roasted duck, char siew), just wondering where got stalls/shop which sells good roasted meat at night (still available after 8 or 9pm) around KL/Cheras area, anyone knows? Coz most stalls will close after lunch time or some shops also close by 7, 8pm.

Hungry Hogg, SS15 subang jaya also serve beautiful 5 layer siew yuk.

Went to Meng Kee, Jalan Alor on Monday for lunch.

2 portion of char siew and chicken + 1 plate of vege = RM32!!

Although it is good, it doesn't mean you can do a daylight robbery on your customers. The place is barely filled. How many people can afford this price for lunch? Not coming back. Ever.

The name of restaurant = Spring Golden - At the back of Public Bank & dwon the street from Sri Kota FC & opposite NSK supermarket..Yeah as good as Meng Kee in Glemarie & cheaper abit..still expensive lah but cheaper than Glenmarie & Alor meng Kee for sure...Still wondering Jln Alor Meng Kee & Glenamrie really related?

Yes. I think Glennmarie is the first, Alor is the branch or the other way round.

Soo Kee Ampang Char Siew

Very pricey! the last time i went there was nearly a year ago. RM7 for a plate of charsiew rice. It was like 6 or 7 very thin slices. There weren't that many people there on a Saturday afternoon. IMO, overhyped and overpriced. I think it's the same everywhere now in the Klang Valley. You don't get what you paid for.

Those specialised fames Charsiew restaurants memang likdat wan.

Mths back, I went to Meng Kee Glenmarie wth another 3 guys...We ordered Charsiew, roasted chicken, Cheong & Taugeh...Total cost ~ RM70+..damnit..weeks later, we went again & now only 3 of us and we dun order the cheaong bcos not really great. Again still ~ RM45+..darn...min per pax >RM15...walau eh.
Anyway agreed their Charsiew is superb but the rice & chicken so-so only.

The operators usually victimised those that orders for the whole group. They might overcharge as there may be some customers that fight for the bill and when this happens, they won't scrutinise the bill. Remember those days in Old Klang Road seafood restaurants (at the junction of Taman Desa). You fight for the bill and then suddenly you are overcharged RM10 to RM15 and sometimes a pack of Marlboro is inserted in the bill. Happens nowadays, in Chee Xiang, 11th mile Cheras, I ordered a quarter duck and 'char siew + siew yoke' and three rice. Asked for the bill and it was RM46.00, I paid it and then did the maths as it was itemised and I was overcharged RM10.00. My wife went back and ask the 'see tow porr' to calculate again and she just opens the drawer and flash out ten bucks and returned it to my wife without looking and apologised. So, it proves that it is pre-meditated.

Just go back to ordering single orders. Two ask for 'duck thigh', two orders 'char siew', and two orders 'siew yoke and when the food comes, push all the meat into the centre of the table. Total, usually RM36.00 for all plus rice If you orders for all, the bill might come to over RM50.00 to RM60.00 plus rice. The former set up still leaves a lot of money to re order and re order again. Or maybe add two more double boiled soup and a green, it should be enough for six anyway. Might look cheapskate but then they were the unscrupulous ones.

Totally agreed. I'm doing the same thing. Nothing cheapskate about it...and my friend/colleague all praise me about it.

But if you go in a group and the purpose to try all, you can actually order all-in one for each person wor..That's how they simply charge...i.e They dun go per pax at this rate but when you order all, They charge 3 pas charsiew, 3 pax siew york & 3 pax Siew kai..Therefore everytime >RM40 wan..darn..

Unless I specify. all 1 person each!!

i will always order individual servings even though go in groups whenever i eat char siew.

on a sidenote, anyone tried the char siew at seapark? The shop used to be opposite Seaview restaurant but has now shifted to the middle "corner" shop.

The char siew there is super awesome. Very different from conventional char siew. The head chef used to work in HK then came to Malaysia and now has gone to US to open shop. He got PR to go there to start business.. Now the kong fu has been transferred to his disciple.


Agree with you bro. the char siew is awesome.

Ah khai charsiew,

a few times i go there around 1pm and its all finished. =.="

must go before 12... before lunch crowd gets in.
usually if i go, i'll eat a plate.. and tapau 20 bucks of char siew back for the missus and my uncle. they are all hooked to it.

I actually stay damn near there, but always cannot get it.

You cannot be serious. I went there on Saturday exactly at 11.30am. The owner and the staff appears to be watching tv. Totally no customer. As soon as he noted me, everyone sprung into action. I ordered one Char Siew rice kar liu.

How much i paid? RM7!! Only RM7!! I swear the portion of char siew is as much as Meng Kee served. In fact i've chosen half lean half fat parts which is so so so nice!

Thumbs up for Ah Khai. Good char siew with very reasonable price.

I was there on Saturday 11++, were you the guy in white eating there? Hahhaa I tapao back after went to digi mall.

I dunno but that day really not much ppl. Normally quite full. Maybe it's not working day.

their business is abit more relaxed on saturday. customers usually come in whenever they want.

But a few steps up the road, at Sunrise, there will be a duck fight during the weekends.

Added on October 19, 2011, 1:18 amDefinitely not me cos i also tapau. I was skeptical already cos that place is totally empty. Turns out a real winner in the end

Enjoice!

Sunrise's overrated as a whole but the duck is damn good but paired with bad rice.

Haha, cheap and good char siew
But don't always eat la, not very healthy.

Normally Ah Khai focus more on the working group of people. So it is very normal if it finish by 1pm.

Try the chicken as well, it's very good also.

i dont like the chicken dunno why. I took chicken breast that day and its very chewy and macam very "artificial"

that's way better than the restoran overseas imbi one...... also slightly cheaper..... nice crusty char siew with a melt in your mouth centre..... yum!

I was looking for this stall and was thinking it was Chee Xiang. I finally found out that the one mentioned here is Sim Kee Restoren and they are the ones shifted over from the traffic lights. The traffic lights are not the same operators and they started after Sim Kee mleft. Sim Kee is not located opposite Nissan Center but actually they are now located exactly behind Milwaukee Steak House and a few doors from Lan Che Steam Fish. I have tried Sim Kee and found that the duck is also not as good as Sunrise or Fatt Kee in Pudu and the char siew and siew yoke, still the one near Shamelin Perkasa is better.

Taman Shamelin Perkasa near Esso Petrol Station

Close on Sunday,do drop by there before 2pm
