Meng Kee Steamed Soup at Taman Paramount
Meng Kee Steamed Soup is one of those places where I’ve been to so many times that I had always thought that I wrote about it before. A quick search revealed that I haven’t, and there were actually at least a couple sets of pictures taken from this place from quite a while back.
more than half the menu consists of various steamed soup
Meng Kee is located by the Taman Paramount Giant Hypermarket and Post Office, right next door to one of my other favorite Chinese “tai chau” – Ming Heong.
There are a couple dozen tables sprawling around the area with about three quarter of them totally alfresco style. I wouldn’t go there when it’s raining or even just drizzling, however, on any other given night, you usually have to wait for a table. It is a very busy little corner.
various types of steamed soup and herbal soup, and other dishes
Once you’re seated, it is usually quite a challenge to get the attention of the waiters and secure a menu. Over half of the dishes offered here are steamed soup. You can find anything from “tung kwai”, chicken soup in coconut, peanut, pork tripes, ribs, ABC, black chicken, to ginseng soup.
Most soup come in a single-person serving, with a handful of them for twin sharing. I’ve tried at least half a dozen different types of soup here and for the most part, they’re rather awesome, but perhaps with the exception of pork tripe soup. For a good bowl of pork tripe soup, I’ll head to Weng Soon Jaya at USJ instead.
steamed chicken, 3 colored steamed egg, Mellissa
Other than soup, they serve a few steamed vegetables, tofu, pretty awesome lamb curry, steamed chicken with oyster sauce, and my favorite – three colored steamed egg (with normal egg, century egg, and salted egg).
With the exception of the curry, deep fried and asam fish, almost everything from Meng Kee is steamed or soup. If you’re looking for a healthy meal that is also easy on the wallet (most soup starts from RM 4 to RM 8, and other dishes not over RM 10) too, you know where to go now.

In a not so related note:
I like the feel of the new Blackberry 8520 I got from XBerry party, it feels pretty good in my hand. Small, sleek, and rather light even if compared with the normal “dumb” phones.
I also think that the touch pad is actually pretty nifty. While others might prefer the more traditional BlackBerry trackball, I think the touch pad has more longevity and a lot less headache when you’re at a beach (fine grains of sand getting into the trackball can be quite a pita to clean)
If you missed buying the 8520 at RM 888 during the launch, Xpax is now selling the package at RM 998, completely unlocked. Get a unit and join the club yo!
Next up: updating BBM!

Oh! I just told Unka abt this place on Tues when we were in the area.
I agree it is packed at night! But then the row of shoplots facing it does have good too!
The place also featured in Chui Ling’s 1 Day 5 Meal as well if I’m not mistaken. Time to frequent PJ more for dinner.

william,
Ah, you must have went there on a bad night.
how ironic. one meng kee being the sloppy, sinful char siew specialist, the other being a healthy, fuss-free home-cooked style of soups and dishes. hmm.
I already know about this place long time ago as my wifey is a huge fan of anything that go with soup…
she went there with her brother but not me… and till today I have yet to see for myself! sigh… maybe I will stick to the soups instead!
