If you are a fan of roast pork or siew yoke (or siu yoke however it is romanized) tell me you did not involuntarily swallow your saliva when you saw this photo. Just look at the crispy crunchy skin, the juicy meat, the thick chunks of roast pork belly, and the translucent fat separating the meat.
Welcome to what is arguably, one of the best (or some may say, the best) roast pork in Kuala Lumpur. Arguably also, one of (and I think is) the most expensive too. But worth every penny.

If you want to talk good wantan mee in Kuala Lumpur, this is more like it, not the other one I posted a while ago. Blergh!
This one is a mid-sized portion and as you can see, comes with a fairly generous helping of char siew roasted to perfection, and 6-7 wantan dumplings in soup. The dry noodles isn’t sweet but is flavoursome. The char siew is nicely charred and tasty. You can order them seperately (many people do). The noodles are springy and are cooked al dente.

Gosh, I haven’t blogged here in so long, I’d almost forgotten my login and password LOL! Anyway, I’m logging back in with a rant (of course!). I don’t eat wantan mee a lot, but there was a stall I’d frequented many many many years ago when late nights at work were common. At 10pm, there aren’t many places to go to eat but the Wantan Mee at Sungai Besi was and so I’d go there. It was a little pricey back then but it was fairly good.
A few days ago, I drove past in the evening and saw that it was open. So me and dinner buddy decided to see how it is, not having been there for about 10 years if at that!
The stall opens at sunset when the car repair shop/car accessory shop it is attached to closes up for the day. So it opens for business at about 5.30pm till late at night. They sell wantan mee (only the thin noodles) with a variety of toppings – char siew, wantan, siew yoke, roast duck etc etc. Choice is very varied and prices start at RM5 for a small portion.
Sadly, I was very disappointed.
