Half lean, half fat
Everyone has a favourite char siew place and for char siew lovers, it can spark a good debate on which place serves the best in Klang Valley.
My personal favourites are De Champion Duck and Toast & Roast, but many swear by Meng Kee Char Siew. And since my new office location is a 10-minute drive to Glenmarie, I decided to revisit this popular spot.
It’s best to get there before the lunch crowd does. Otherwise, you’ll have to wait for a table or share one with strangers. I ordered a plate of char siew and liver sausages, and beansprouts to share with rif.
The char siew was still as good as I remembered it to be – gloriously fatty with caramelized, lightly charred edges. Also not bad was the liver sausage; smoky sweet with little or no metallic taste.
Do yourself a favour and skip the beansprouts. This was hardly crunchy with too much sauce. The bill came up to RM24 for the two of us. Not cheap for such a small portion of meat, but it’s an occasional treat I guess.

never mind the char siew (which looks wet and wondrous nonetheless), i LOVVVVEEEEEE liver sausages and i’m always game for places that serve them :D
Yeah, I don’t like liver but I enjoy liver sausages. Weird hor? :)
When I work at Glenmarie I use to eat over there..
My ex colleague quit his job and open this shop…
Always see him cut char siu and become rich man…
Yeah, the uncle must be filthy rich by now…
Didn’t know they serve liver sausage. But then again, I’d probably not order it. Haha.
But why?? Liver sausage is yummy. :D
The liver sausage if not mistaken is made from minced meat only and no liver in it? I never have this in the restaurant, hubby will tapao for me if he happen to be nearby there.
I don’t know about that. But nice hor?? :)
Wah, so expensive for so little meat! But I’m longing for char siew now….
WTF?? this meng kee char siew damn horrible, actually one of the worst char siew I ever eaten in my life so far. the rice??? typical , and if you take away, you will regret forever. I will definitely won’t go back again as the price is sky high not really worth for the money. this restaurant only good for those rich wanker.
U need to try Restoran Golden Spring in Taman Sri Muda, Shah Alam. The shop just opposite NSK SA. Only their charchiew is super nice. Go b4 1pm. To me this shop. Serves the best tadting charsiew in kl.
