After planning a meet up with KCC for about two weeks, I met up with her and her mom for brunch in Taman Cheras. She had been telling me about an absolutely delicious char siew (BBQ pork) wantan noodles that I must try and we decided to head to Meng Shiang, Taman Cheras which is just a stone's throw away from her house.
Slabs and slabs of yummy char siew!
Instead of slicing the slab of char siew, Janet chops them! Hence, the thick pieces of char siew served with the noodles. As I am not a fan of chunky meat, I was pleasantly surprised at how tender the meat was even though it was on the lean side. The wantan noodles were springy and aromatic but the star of this plate was truly the char siew! I've not eaten wantan noodles with such lovely char siew before! Well, even Hock Lim's version pales in comparison with Meng Shiang's.
One must also order the char siew ribs. With a hint of five spice powder, they were totally lip-smacking finger-licking eat-clean-to-the-bone yummylicious!
So, make your way here for wantan noodles with a BIG YUMMY difference. You'll love it! See also Masak-masak's review on this place HERE.

They claim red meat is bad for you. But I never saw a sick-looking tiger.

ok la..the next time i have to wake up and find my own meal..i m gonna drive down here and tapau..looks sinful lar..
ReplyDeleteNo matter how many times I tried with different recipes and sauces to marinate the pork, the char siew tasted different and not authentic. Wow! The char siew is even shimmering!
ReplyDeletewmw,
ReplyDeleteThe charsiew... *saliva starts dripping* it looks sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good!!!
By the way hor, have you tried kolo mee ah?
i think char siu and wanton noodles is such a perfect combination, and they r juz so essential to one another. some guys hv fishballs with the wantan mee, well, no hard and fast rules, but i think that sucks...lol.
ReplyDeletewell, of course, if the char siu is of premium quality, then it is such a bonus. lol.
the char siew looks good man!!!!
ReplyDeletewhat's with the char siew craze? make me go crazy ><

kok : Yes, good char siew...I have tried kolo mee before, I love it too but char siew not as good as this one.

meiyen : Yes, at Yulek, opposite Hau Kee Seafood Restaurant.
Daphne : Like I said, the noodles are not bad too but once you start chomping down on the ribs and char siew, it'll become secondary.
