I would have never thought of coming here if it wasn't for the wonder of food blogs. Seen this mentioned a couple of times and everyone's been waxing lyrical over the char siew. My sister was visiting from Oz last week and I thought we'd finally check this place out. Of course, we'd have to order a plate of Char Siew to share. This was medium and I wished we'd ordered more. Visual appealing, the meat was glistening (from the maltose, I gathered) and came with perfect ratio of meat:fat. Perfectly
Of course, we'd have to order a plate of Char Siew to share. This was medium and I wished we'd ordered more. Visual appealing, the meat was glistening (from the maltose, I gathered) and came with perfect ratio of meat:fat. Perfectly roasted, they were tender with a balance of sweet and savoury, the fat just dissolves into sweet heaven in your mouth. Definitely met our expectations.
I have been curious to try Hakka Mee, as it's not too dissimilar to our very own Kolo Mee/Kampua Mee. The noodles resembles Mee Pok but slightly thinner, and was cooked al dente. There was a distinct pork lard (oil) flavour, which goes well with a little bit of vinegar. The lovely surprise was the crispy pork lard like those you get in KL style Hokkien Mee, which enhanced the overall experience. Loved it and can't wait to have more soon!
My sister has ordered Siew Yoke with Rice and I stole a few pieces of her roast pork. It was just ok, as I've definitely had better. The crackling was perfect though, however I felt that the fat wasn't rendered enough and the mouthfeel was a little sticky. It was seasoned well though. Service was friendly and attentive, and food was served pretty quickly. Great recommendation!
