Restoran Wong Mei Kee 王美记
Restoran Wong Mei Kee is a small restaurant in Kuala Lumpur that specializes in Cantonese roasted meats. It features an open kitchen where pork, duck, and chicken are roasted over charcoal and served fresh each day from noon until sold out.
The restaurant was founded by Chef Wong and has become known for its mastery of Cantonese grilling techniques. It gained recognition through the Michelin Guide, which highlighted it as a place offering quality food at reasonable prices without fancy surroundings.
The restaurant reflects Cantonese cooking traditions that are part of daily life in Kuala Lumpur. Visitors can watch the open kitchen and see how meats are prepared using classical methods passed down through the craft.
The restaurant opens at noon and closes when food runs out, usually within a few hours. It is best to arrive early since no reservations are taken and lines can be long, especially during lunchtime.
The pork is roasted traditionally in barrels over charcoal, giving it a distinctive crispy skin and juicy interior. This artisanal cooking method sets it apart from modern ovens and is central to what makes the preparation special.
