Char Siew at Soo Kee Restaurant, Ampang
The series on some of the best char siew in the Klang valley continues, and I present to you, Soo Kee Restaurant in Ampang. This char siew is legendary, and was once probably the standard by which other char siews were measured. Nevertheless, despite its years (The restaurant, that is. Not the char siew. Maybe the proprietors too...snigger) , the char siew at Soo Kee can hold its own against some of the best in town.
If you like dark and sticky char siew, this place is for you. Let's just say that Bald Eagle and I couldn't resist the warm sticky fragrant to-die-for char siew and wolfed down half of it while driving back with our precious cargo. I ordered a portion for one (for takeaway), and it cost me RM10. Certainly not the cheapest in town, but hey, I have absolutely no complaints. Mmmmmmmm!!!

awww... i can smell the char siew at this time. hungry lar~
Sure looks yummy..!
another sexy looking char siew!! *tummy growling*
the char siew looks a bit burn.
we humbly request a tiny peek into the origins of your unusual love affair with this strange oily thing which might in all probability spark the oncoming expectant 3rd world war, but as yet not yet thank goodness. Your esteemed revelation is terribly important in the annals of exceptional cutting edge global cuisine & could form part of a valuable thesis which Joe the craver( we suspect ) will soon embark upon, and which we wish him all da best of course ( joe r u there ?)
This will be my lunch later!

Nipples:

Char siew from somewhere else. Lame one, that's it. :(
Loving the new look of your photos btw. This photo is deceiving. If it weren't for the title, I would've expected the description to go something like "caramelised blah blah in a balsamic reduction". Wahliaooo! How wrong was I?! It is just the humble but oh so beautiful char siu...
jason: awww, u poor thang. I hope u get some good char siew soon.
paprika: it is, isn't it? haha. it's one of your pageant hopefuls, so u know it's good, dontcha, miss char siew queen?
alamak, u really went to that place... I used to call this place the BEST Char Siew in town restaurant, but recently have stopped liking this place, as I stopped liking half fat char siews....
Looks like I will have to make my own charsiu. You know how-ah??
love charsiew too, especially those with fat with melt in your mouth effect .. yummm!
isn't soo kee also the name of the place with beef noodles behind lot 10?

Can they do this using veggie meat? I am pescotarian - I eat only seafood and veggie stuff and I do love food.

wah so yummy looking ... I can imagine the taste of it.
bernsy:
what????
kat:
I'm only good at eating.
foodielianne:
aahh...someone after my own heart.
sze:
yes. I doubt if they're related, though. They've got enough family problems as it is. The beef place, I mean.
henry:
yes, thanks for the menu. no, have not seen the website yet. Too busy planning for my holidays. Will check it out when I come back.
joy:
they probably can, but it won't taste the same! Vegetarian restaurants are quite fantastic at replicating meat dishes, though.
thecookingninja:
hehe...it is yummy!!
