Wong Mei Kee Roast Pork

Although I am not a meat eater but roasted pork (siew yoke/ sio bak/ 烧肉) is my favourite. I’ll go all out to try a good version of it. After so many trips down to KL, I finally had the opportunity to try this legendary Wong Mei Kee at Pudu.

Wong Mei Kee is touted as one of the best roasted pork places in KL. It’s colloquially known as Datuk Siew Yuk (Roasted pork) as its owner has been conferred a Datukship. Datuk Wong is the man behind the show where he does almost everything himself from marinating to roasting to chopping the meat. Diners wait patiently for the food to be served at 12.30pm.

I was thoroughly impressed by the roasted pork (RM 26 per slice as of Mar 2023). It was roasted in charcoal. The crackling was spectacularly crispy and there was a good fat to meat ratio. It was amazing how the meat remained so tender, flavourful and moist. Servings were rather generous as the roasted pork was cut into thick chunks. I chowed down the whole plate with much delight.

Absolutely worth the long wait!
