Nice Char Siew @ Restoran Spring Golden

Sorry again for the one week "absence"...no excuse ...so for the next few days there will be daily dose of yummy food reviews from me ...

The shop's facade

So...whats for today? It is a nice restaurant selling one of the best "char siew" (one type of sweet roast pork), to me the best you can find in Malaysia. It is located in Sri Muda Shah Alam (location see last paragraph)
So whats so nice about this Char Siew? The secret is it's selection of the pork and the way it is prepared. To me, a good Char Siew needs to be of a mix of fatty-lean meat part, and cooks to a bit "sticky" and a bit burnt perfection. And this shop's Char Siew just meet all those criteria. In fact, there has been a lot of reviews from newspapers and food review shows locally on this shop.

Their To die for Char Siew

My wife's order - Roast chicken & Char Siew with rice

My order - Char Siew with Noodle

This shop is open everyday, from 11a.m onwards. Business is extremely good during lunch time, even on weekends. So, the char siew is normally sold out by 1p.m . To avoid disappointment, do come early.

 Whats good here? The Char Siew is a must try. Their roast chicken and roast pork are not bad too. You can either eat these with rice or noodles.Price wise, it is a bit on the high side (compare to other Char Siew stall). A meal for two can easily comes up to RM15 - 20. But i assure you it is worth it, especially for their succulent Char Siew.

Their roast pork - Not bad as well but not THE best in town

How to get there? If you are coming from USJ direction heading towards Kota Kemuning on KESAS highway, exit at HICOM exit. At the traffic light, go straight and keep left to go onto the trunk road. At the next traffic light, turn right and you will see Sri Muda area with a lot of shophouses on your right. Take the first right turn after the traffic light and go straight. Restoran Spring Golden is on your right, at a corner shop.

Overall Verdict:

Super nice Char Siew, not bad roast chicken and roast pork. Fast service. But price a bit on the high side.

Yummy Roast Duck at Sunrise

This is one of my favourite roast duck place within Malaysia (the other one being Beijing's Peking Duck, China). It is located in Taman Bahagia and has been around for a long time. Ask PJ folks about Sunrise Duck and chances are most, if not all will know about them. Business here is very good. They open at 11A.M daily, and normally, by 1-2 PM all ducks are finished! This is true even for weekends and weekdays.

Restaurant Sunrise's Duck

The duck is roasted to such perfection that it is so yummy not to resist. And the soup that comes with it is a bit sour and peppery, just nice to complement the duck, though not everyone likes the soup.

Business here is super good during lunch time, so to avoid the crowd and sometimes disappointment, you can either pre-book, or come early, like 11:30A.M
Price here is reasonable, a bird of roast duck cost around RM35/bird.

My friend, who came down from Penang, seemed to Love this roast duck

How to get there? It is located in Taman Bahagia, nearby Taman SEA. If you are coming from Jalan 222 PJ, turn right at the traffic light in front of Maybank Jalan 222. Go straight all the way "(including 12 o'clock at a roundabout) till you come to another traffic light (which is a T-junction, and up hill). Turn left at the traffic light, and at the next traffic light, turn left again and you will see Sunrise Restaurant at your right.

Overall Verdict:
Fast service, clean environment, but a little bit hot, stuffy, and crowded. To die for Roast duck.
