Roast Chicken, Roast Duck, Char Siew Cham Cham + 1 Rice = RM13.50No Service Charges
There are No Menu Available at this Eatery/Restaurant.
Got to know of this place thru YouTube Channel Z嫂&小番薯's Daily (Winnie) who featured this. While she's not from Kulai herself, she has been staying in Kulai for quite awhile and according to her, "古来食物基本上都吃到七七八八了".
This is of course a Roasted Meats Eatery. The Actual Place is a Non-Airconditioned Kopitiam in a Row of Shophouses. From the Looks of it, this place has probably been around for Many Years already. Run by a Couple of Young Malaysian Lads, the Chap taking my Order had a Very Friendly "Bro Feel" if it makes any sense.
They are supported by a Couple of Myanmar Staffs too. There are No Menu Available however. While its probably intuitive for a Malaysian or Singaporean to order, I reckon it may be abit More Challenging for Foreigners.
Its a Pretty Popular Place as you can see even on a Weekday on a Off-Lunch Hour at 2.30pm. I keep seeing Customers streaming in Non-Stop either for Dining In or to Dabao. If its already this Good Business on a Weekday, I'd imagine Weekends will probably 爆满. Anyway it took 2 Mins for Everything to be served up.
Roast Chicken, Roast Duck, Char Siew Cham Cham + 1 Rice = RM13.50The Signature of this Place is apparently their Roast Pork Sio Bak but it was already Sold Out as of 2.30pm when I was there. While it was a Pity, I thought it was still Pretty Impressive nevertheless. 不愧是 Main Signature.
Quality of the Chilli
Watery Type with a Fruity Limey Profile. It has a Tad Elevated Spiciness that won't bite but will linger long.
This Chilli reminds me of the Similar Fruitier Type of Chilli I ate at Lynns Food & Beverage in JB Sutera Mall. This one seems to emphasize on the Sourness of the Lime more. Not Bad Chilli.
Quality of the Soup
Clear Soup with a Noticeably Chickeny Taste. Elevated Saltish and tasted like some MSG is added. Decent Soup but because its quite Salty, I do not recommend to drink too much of this if you are watching your Salt Intake.
Quality of the Rice
Visually Slightly Brownish in Appearance with what looks like Specks of Herbs. Decent Chickeny Presence and Saltish. The Rice Texture is more on the Stickier Type and also Noticeably Oily. I would say this is probably Above SG Kopitiam type of Quality and is more of a 重口味 type of 油饭. And yes, it is Very Fragrant 香气.
The Roasted Meats Platter consists of:
1 Roasted Chicken Drummy
9 Slices of Char Siew
8 Cuts of Roast Duck
I thought the Presentation looks Well Presented and Appetizing. 卖相不错. There is this Black Sauce that they Lum all over it which has a Nice Sweet Taste and a Oil Fragrance that is Similar in Profile to the Sauce you usually get when you order 油菜. Nicely Done.
Quality of the Roast Chicken Drummy
Decent Acceptable Roasted Skin. While it isn't Crisp, I thought the Roasted Flavour was Decently Comparable to a SG Kopitiam Level. Drummy Meat was Soft and Tender and doesn't taste Too Chickeney. The Only Issue I have with this was that it was served at a Room Temp, not Freshly Hot.
Quality of the Char Siew
I enjoyed this one. The Cuts I got were Meaty, Juicy and Not Overly Porky in Taste. Its Sweet and that Black Sauce they lum enhanced the Sweetness. That said, I still prefer the Fattier Parts of this Char Siew which has a More Creamy Melt in Mouth Texture.
Very Decent Char Siew Quality that I feel is Above SG Kopitiam Standard. If you like Fattier Cuts, I reckon you can request for them.
Quality of the Roast Duck
Decent but Not Amazing, the Amount and Cuts given for this felt a Tad on the Stingy Side. Can feel the Attempt at trying to Scrimp here given how Small the Cuts were. The Meat itself though was Pretty Standard, Tad Gamey and is comparable to SG Kopitiam Quality. Nothing really Special about this one.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Conclusion and Closing Thoughts
At the Combined Price of RM13.50 (S$4.40) for 3 Different Types of Roast Meats including a Drummy + 1 Plate of Rice with No Service Charges is definitely Affordable for what it is. Having said that though, only the Char Siew truly impressed me with its Quality especially those Fattier Parts which I found Melt in Mouth Quality. Its still Not KSL City Mall You Kee XO Restaurant Meat Candy Quality but it is still a Very Decent Char Siew.
The Other Roast Meats aren't Trash however, but I also won't rate them as Die Die Must Order. I feel they are about comparable Similar to SG Kopitiam Level. That said, I feel you can Skip the Roast Duck because I feel they are Noticeably Scrimping on this one with their Smaller Cuts.
As for the Rice, it is Decent but I find this Noticeably Oilier and More 重口味. If you are ok with it, sure go ahead. Their True Signature here however is their Roasted Meats Siew Yoke. Since I wasn't able to try it, I am unable to comment about it. Definitely come earlier if you want to try it. I'm impressed that it can be sold out even at 2.30pm on a Weekday.
Overall No Issues with this Place. I do mostly agree with YouTuber Winnie on the Quality of the Roasted Meats here.
As what some Malaysians would say, the Quality here is considered as "不错吃" can recommend.
The Fact that I can see Local Customers Non-Stop Streaming in to Dine-In or Dapao even on a Off-Lunch Hour on a Weekday also shows how popular it is to even the Locals. If you are nearby the area craving for some Roasted Meats, I can recommend to give this a try.
