Meng Kee, Glenmarie

Seems like it's a week of pork fest postings..

Readers who detest pork, please bear with me! ;)

I was at Glenmarie recently, and my brother who's working at that area has been raving about Meng Kee char siew (bbq pork). I recalled Lyrical Lemongrass posting on it too, hence we popped by quickly.

I've only tried Meng Kee's char siew at their HQ (aka changkat tung shin), hence I was expecting something of similar quality...

We were promptly served with our orders of char siew Sticky, not overtly sweet, fragrantly bbq-ed with the lip smacking marination; I must say that the char siew here is a good as those served in it's HQ. What I love about Meng Kee would be the always warm char siew, whilst many shops serves their char siew cold. I ordered pun fei shou (mixed fatty meat), but most of the char siew we got was rather lean. :(

We also ordered the poached chicken which was quite tasty (though not as good as the char siew). The sauce had this distinctive taste in the sweet salty soy that I can always recognize it being Meng Kee's. Somewhat like it's laced with a hint of lard...haha The bean sprouts, well, I Need to order this, else I'll be very guilty just having meat and more meat. :D

Overall, good stuff, though I must admit, I prefer the one served in changkat tung shin..

Meng Kee Glenmarie is located at 20, Jalan Pekedai U1/36, Hicom Glenmarie Industrial Park Shah Alam.

Chong Thoong Kee, TTDI, KL

I've been eating here for a few years already.. a usual brunch place for lily and me before we go for sunday shopping. Famed for it's kaishi hor fun (shredded chicken with flat noodles) and poached chicken, Chong Thoong Kee does get pretty packed during lunch time..

Our usual orders would be the noodles soup (we added prawn wantan..kar liu..hehe) Smooth flat noodles, lotsa tender chicken shred, fresh succulent prawns, chopped spring onions and quite lovely broth makes this a satisfying brunch for me :). Prawn wantan mediocre though. Maybe quite a lot of MSG too coz I do get quite thirsty after the meal.. *aiks*

Sometimes, when we are rather carnivoruos, we will add in an order of poached chicken..Smooth chicken skin and springy meat to the bite. I do find the oyster sauce a tad salty for my liking though.. But overall, still a very satisfying meal.

I think I prefer TK Chong's (in Damansara Perdana) poached chicken and noodles better, but if you are around Taman Tun around and ran out of idea on what to eat, do give Chong Thoong Kee a try :). CTK is located next to the Taman Tun Market. Turn at the market (market on your left), take the first left turn. You'll see the shop on your right
