Discover an unsung ‘char siu’ and roast pork, paired with ‘wantan mee’ at Soh Kee Eatery in Kepong

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 26 — If you live in Kepong, you’ve probably driven past Soh Kee Eatery and maybe even dismissed it as just another restaurant.

Located in a row of single-storey lots inside Bukit Maluri Industrial Estate, you will only know of its existence from the banners.

Walk in to find a big surprise: roast meats with a taste profile that suits the residents nearby.

Their story started out as a humble stall in Selayang’s Restoran Hwa Yan Kai offering wantan mee using their own roasted meats like char siu and roast pork.

In the middle of the year, they moved to their own space opposite Jubin BMS, a multi-storey tile shop located in the industrial park.

It’s a family-run operation where the second generation is now helping out and learning the ropes to manage the business.

Using a charcoal fire, their char siu is superb for its layers of melt-in-the-mouth fat and tender meat wrapped with a dark crust that isn’t overly sweet.

I appreciated that less glaze was used, which resulted in a crust that wasn’t hardened by too much maltose.

That restraint, resulting in a less sweet char siu , nods to the general preference of their customers who avoid overly sweet food items.

Even their roast pork showed off careful roasting, ensuring it wasn’t dried out at the bottom while retaining a pinkish tinge.

That good control of fire resulted in a crispy golden skin that crunched in the mouth and soft meat — the best way to enjoy roast pork.

Order a platter of char siu and roast pork for RM12 to pair with the noodles.

You get thin strands soaked in their sauce, which have an al dente bite paired with big chunks of fried lard.

There’s also a chicken curry version of wantan mee (RM9) where chunks of soft potatoes and chicken pieces are served with a semi-thick gravy.

The wantans are a separate order (three for RM2.50), where those silky skin bites are filled with minced pork that isn’t clenched into a clump but remains in a fluffier state.

You can also get chicken rice here, with a choice of poached or roasted.

And if you don’t feel like battling the traffic, there’s always the handy FoodPanda option for delivery to your doorstep.

吉隆坡，10 月 26 日讯——如果你住在甲洞，你可能开车经过 Soh Kee Eatery，甚至可能把它当作另一家普通的餐馆而忽略了。

它位于武吉马鲁里工业区内一排单层建筑中，你只能通过横幅广告才能知道它的存在。

走进去你会发现一个大惊喜：烤肉的口味很符合附近居民的喜好。

他们的故事始于士拉央华彦凯餐厅的一个简陋摊位，提供用自家烤肉（如叉烧和烤猪肉）制作的云吞面。

年中，他们搬到了位于工业园区的 Jubin BMS（一家多层瓷砖商店）对面的自有空间。

这是一个家族企业，第二代现在正在帮忙，学习如何管理企业。

他们用木炭火烤制的叉烧口感极佳，肥瘦相间，入口即化，外皮酥脆，味道甜度适中。

我很欣赏这款蛋糕少用了糖霜，这样烤出来的饼皮就不会因为麦芽糖过多而变硬。

这种克制使得叉烧的甜度降低，迎合了顾客普遍的喜好，他们不喜欢过甜的食物。

就连他们的烤猪肉也展现了精湛的烤制技艺，确保底部不会烤干，同时保持粉红色泽。

对火候的良好控制造就了酥脆金黄、入口即化的外皮和鲜嫩多汁的肉质——这是享用烤猪肉的最佳方式。

点一份叉烧和烤猪肉拼盘，售价 12 马币，搭配面条食用。

你会吃到浸泡在酱汁中的细面条，面条口感劲道，搭配大块炸猪油。

还有鸡肉咖喱云吞面（9令吉），里面有大块软土豆和鸡肉块，配上半浓稠的肉汁。

馄饨是单独点的（三个 2.50 马币），这些光滑的馄饨皮里包裹着猪肉馅，肉馅没有捏成团，而是保持着蓬松的状态。

这里还可以吃到鸡饭，可以选择白斩鸡或烤鸡。

如果你不想挤在车流中，还可以选择便捷的 FoodPanda 外卖服务，直接送到家门口。
