Thian Heong Roast Pork and Char Siew Rice, Cheras

I went to Cheras Leisure Mall for an appointment the other day and I took the opportunity to drop by Thian Heong again to eat the Char Siew/Siew Yoke Rice. I have not been back here for almost a year already and the place still looks the same, except I don’t like the floor which is too slippery. Anyway I ordered a plate of char siew and siew yoke (roast pork) rice. For side dishes I opted for a small bowl of sweet and sour Chap Suet soup. The roast pork and char siew tasted ok. The chili sauce is spicy and nice, taste good with the roast pork. I don’t really quite like the Chap suet soup because it is a little too sweet. The chef did not manage to get the sourness and sweetness right. I finished my lunch with a glass of iced herbal tea. All these cost me RM9.60. Reasonable price?

My Second Attempt at Making Crispy Roast Pork - Yay, successful!

This is my second attempt in making Crispy Roast Pork. The last roast pork I made did not turn out that well because I couldn’t make the skin crispy. (see post http://peteformation.blogspot.com/2008/11/my-first-attempt-to-make-chinese-crispy.html)

Anyway I found a nice large slab of pork at the Kepong Baru Wet market last week. I paid around RM12 for it. This time I managed to make the skin crispy and nice. Yum, yum, my family had a taste of nice homemade crispy roast pork over the weekend!

Ingredients
Large slab of pork with skin intact, preferably one with a layer of fat below the skin
Five spice powder, 1 teaspoon
Salt to taste
Mak Ngar Tong, (wheat sugar) 2 table spoon

Make some deep cuts on the meat part of the pork. Then use a very sharp knife and make some shallow cuts on the skin. Rub five spice powder, salt and mak ngar tong on the meat part of the pork. Pat dry the pork skin and rub some salt on it. Preheat oven to 180 Deg C and roast for one and a half hour or until the skin is crispy. Open the oven door occasionally to let air so that the skin can be crispy. Scrape away any burned part with a sharp knife. Use a large chopping block to cut the roast pork using a large knife to avoid the crispy skins from falling off the meaty part.

Restaurant Yook Tho Yin (PJ) Sdn Bhd, Roast Duck, Roast Pork, Roast Ribs, Char Siew

I picked up my buddy, Chong at the new IBM tower and we had lunch together at Restaurant Yook Tho Yin in Damansara Utama. I have not been back to this restaurant for ages and I only remembered that their roasted food taste quite good. The ‘Si Tau Por’ (LADY BOSS) was busy chopping a roast duck when we walked in. Looks like she did not have enough workers, she has to take our orders and prepared roasted meat as well. Anyway, we ordered a plate of mix roast which consist of roast pork belly, roast pork ribs, char siew and roast duck. For some greens we ordered fried garlic yau mak vegetable (Romaine Lettuce) . The roast pork was roasted to perfection with crunchy skins and tasted quite good. Both of us like the roast pork ribs very much. It is tender and the sweetness is just nice. The roast duck is quite good also and the skin is crispy which goes along very well with the sweet roast duck sauce. I can really remember the actual taste of the Char Siew but I remember it was ok! Anyway we also ordered a nice pot of hot Chinese Tik Kuan Yin tea to wash away all the oily stuff from our stomach. Nothing beats a nice hot Chinese tea after a heavy lunch. The total bill for three rice, a plate of mixed roast, vegetable and a pot of Chinese tea came up to be RM25. Overall it was a nice lunch. The place has air conditioning so we took our time to slowly sip and enjoy the hot tea away from the afternoon heat.

BBQ Restaurant, Jalan Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur (Roast Pork, Ribs, Char Siew, Duck)

Sorry not clear, hand shaking, too hungry..........Roast Pork belly, ribs and Char Siew Oily Rice...................................................................BBQ Restaurant Price List This is one of the old eateries in town. I have taken these pictures 2 months ago and I have just found it hidden in some of my computer folders. I had lunch with one of my old college buddy here. It is normally packed during lunch time. There is a small air-conditioned section at the very end of the shop, which will normally have unoccupied tables. The wantan mee here is of a very thin type, which is quite good because it soaked up all the tasty sauce. My friend ordered the oily rice. We also ordered a plate of mixed meat; Char Siew(Sweet Barbecue Pork), Roast Ribs and Roast Pork. All of these meats are roasted to perfection and the meat is tender. I love the taste. The total bill for these plus drinks came out to be RM23.40, reasonable for a restaurant in the heart of KL town. Apart of what we ate that day, this shop also serve curry mee and chicken rice.
