Boon Signature Roast Pork, Damansara Jaya – good siew yok (roast pork belly)

The art of making the “perfect” (perfect is subjective to preferences) siew yok (roast pork belly) and char siew (BBQ pork belly) is a revered skill that I’ve not mastered.
Besides, it is an arduous and tedious process that I do not care for with my current commitments.
Thus whenever I caught news of recommended outlets/stalls to enjoy good char siew or siew yok, I would make an effort to visit and try them personally.

Images of Boon Signature Roast Pork was making its rounds on social media recently. A few of my friends said it’s the “best siew yok” that they had had.
Since the location in Damansara Jaya isn’t far from home, I’ve made 2 separate lunch trips so far, during which I’ve shared different dishes with my friends. Both friends from both visits didn’t enjoy their meal though personally I did like the siew yok.

This is my favourite PORK ribs which I would happily and confidently recommend to friends. The meat was falling off the bones tender and devouring it only requires your hands and a hearty appetite!

Good Dim sum & RM10 for this big tai pau (big bao) @ Tuck Kee, Kepong!

This Labour Day I had a reliable food guide in Peter who has been a Kepong resident for a long long time.

Kepong has always been an alien territory to me and the RM2.10 toll fare that we KL-ites/PJ people has to pay to even be able to cross over into this district is a total turn-off.
A return trip to Kepong cost RM4.20 in toll even before you take into account the distance and notoriously jammed roads, which is more often than not, a confusing maze.

But that whiny complaint I have aside, I got mildly interested in Kepong again recently after reading online about a few of its hawker offerings.
Apparently Kepong has pretty good food at pocket-friendly prices plus there are a few places that I’ve been eying for a while now like Chew Jetty and the night duck satay, all in all pushing Kepong up higher on my “must explore” list.

The only deterrent here now is getting my phobia of Kepong roads out of the way.

The solution was presented itself when Peter agreed to be my guide. So over a day, he took a bunch of us around Kepong and pointed out some places of interest.

We began the day with breakfast at Tuck Kee, an establishment almost like a restaurant with banquet tables, fans and even a boarded ceiling.
All in all it was just missing solid walls to be a proper shoplot.

As I prepare the 10 reviews for my “Best Chinese Restaurant in IPOH” list, Choy Kee was one that trailed at the bottom of the list.

It is inevitable for any meal in a Chinese restaurant to score hits and misses but it remained a big negative impression if all 3 dishes for dinner is bad.
For Choy Kee, it is either a stroke of bad luck or the food is truly of mediocre standard.

Our sweet and sour pork was acceptable at best, the salted egg yolk squids were rings of rubber and the pork ribs truly cloying sweet.
