Looking at PP’s post about the bbq pork rice at damansara heights really makes me drool. As you know I’m a fan of sweetness, hence I happened to like bbq pork (char siew) too. KC told us before that there’s this very nice char siew rice near his working place at Hicom Glenmarie Industrial Park Shah Alam. The restaurant is called Meng Kee Char Siew. It seems to be that this is a branch of the famous Meng Kee at Jalan Tengkat Tong Shin.

So, last Saturday morning, I finally asked PP to go there and try it out. To get to that restaurant, you will have to drive through Glenmarie until you reach the Shell petrol station. At there, you will have to take the first left turn and go straight after that. Take a right at Jalan Pekedai and drive all the way down. The shop is located on your right side.

We went there quite early so its still breakfast time. They only serve wan tan noodles for breakfast. You’ll need to wait for lunch hour if you would like to eat rice instead. We’ve ordered two plates of wan tan noodle, char siew for 2 pax and roasted chicken for 2 pax. Roasted chicken was served first. PP found that the sauce for the chicken is salty. The wan tan noodle is good. The noodle is not too soft, and the sauce is just right, not too salty.

The best part is its char siew. Char siew is not overly sweet and its not too charred either. The meat is tender and the outer layer is sticky. Wow. One thing that I think would make it more perfect is if only they can slice the char siew thinner. We also do order two glasses of longan, winter melon drink. Its nice, very rich in taste and sweetness. Some other food that they serve are the steam chicken and vegetable. Do come and try if you’re at this area.

Today’s breakfast was much much better. Went to this stall that sells varieties of nyonya kuih, cakes, nasi lemak and fried mee hoon. They even have very nice curry puffs. This stall is operated by two chinese aunties.

This morning, I’ve decided to try something else. I’ve bought a pack of kau chee. Its not cheap though. Kau Chee was very nice indeed. Its like a steamed dumpling and have ingredients wrapped in it. The skin is not too thick, and the ingredients tastes superb. Wrapped inside is turnip with fried onions and dried shrimps.

There’s also a pack of special chilli sauce that comes with it. You really must take it with the chilli sauce, its another different taste. Sweetness accompanied with spicy. Wow. If you like the chilli sauce, you can always ask for extra packs from the auntie. They’re very friendly people. Must try it out. Will buy a pack for PP to try out tonight.

One of my major concern working in Damansara Height is very difficult to get non-halal food for lunch. So far, the only place got non-halal food is the restaurants behind Hock Lee Mini Market at Jalan Batai.

Today is Friday and we are allowed to wear casual to work. Normally we will go to Batai to have our lunch because this place is extremely hot and we will get wet. If with jeans and t-shirt, who care? hehe.

As usual Friday, we went to Batai for lunch, we walked there from HP Towers and reached there around 12.45pm, as usual again, a lot of people were waiting outside and looking for seat. We always wait for outside table because inside of the restorant is 2 x extremely hot. After 30 mins, we finally got our table.

1. Pork Noodle

This type of pork noodle called “San Jian Zhuang - 三间庄” in chinese. This name is taken based on the 3 ingredients they use for the bowl noodle. The ingridients are pork ball, minced pork and chinese sausage.

I ordered a dried kuey teow. This is the best “San Jian Zhuang” I have taken so far. The souce and minced pork are good in fact you can ask for more but need to add RM0.50 but worth it. I recommend you order the small portion because the big portion got too much noodle and the souce might not enough and too dry.
RM3.50 (S) RM4.00 (B)

2. Pan Mee (Flat Noodle)
My colleague ordered pan mee. To me, this is just a typical Pan Mee dish comes in soup or dry varieties (ikan bilis (anchovies), minced meat, fried onions, black fungus, Chinese mushrooms, tapioca leaves and chilli). He only ordered this everytime he come here. The reason the pan mee is so good is because the noodle not overly cooked, ikan bilis is big and crunchy, soft tapioca, and the most important is the chilli must be spicy enough.
RM3.50 (S) RM4.00 (B)

3. Barbeque Pork (Char Siew) and Roasted Pork (Siew Yok)
The mixed rice stall also selling chicken rice, barbeque and roasted pork rice. Another colleague ordered Char Siew rice and I ordered Char Siew Siew Yok to share with all. Their Char Siew an Siew Yok are great!!! because the Char Siew souce is sticky and sweet with a little bit burnt, execellent !!! For the Siew Yok, quite standard as outside, the skin is crunchy but too much of fat oil.
Char Siew Rice: RM3.50
Char Siew & Siew Yok: RM8.00
