As someone who is born and raised in Penang, we often put Penang hawker food on top of the chart. However, when it comes to Roasted Pork or “Siew Yoke” (烧肉), this part of the country definitely gain the upper hand. See, even babe_kl knows how to make it herself.
Note: not to be confused with BBQ Pork or “Char Siew” (å‰çƒ§)
there is no branch, this is the only place you can get it
My buddy Terence happened to be in town yesterday and suggested we go to this roasted pork place near the defunct Pudu Jail. Having gotten bored of the food nearby KLCC, I naturally agreed.
The restaurant is situated at the junction of Jalan Nyonya and Lorong Baba, certainly an address that is easy to remember. It is a normal kopitiam set up, but with only the single stall serving roasted pork, bbq pork, and roasted chicken. They only cater for lunch crowd, starting at 12:30pm sharp and usually only lasts for a couple hours.
the siew yoke.. *droolsSsss*
We ordered two portions of roasted pork and a small plate of roasted chicken to go with the rice. Soup is available and self-served.
The meat is chopped in quite big chunks. I carefully took the first piece and put it in my mouth, and in a couple seconds, the crispy skin completely melted. This is sort of like the feeling you get chewing down the most tender piece of filet mignon. It was the best roasted pork I’ve ever had, even though I don’t always like to use the word best describing food. You just simply have to try it to believe.
the kopitiam is just a short walk from Berjaya Times Square
This place is definitely not cheap, one portion (一æ¡) roasted pork is RM 12, and one of this mouth-watering meat will set you back RM 60. Our meal for two totaled slightly over RM 30. However, this stuff is just that good and I will for sure go there again and again.

HELL YEAH !!!! damn ON siew yoke….slurps….. the soup’s not bad too…. i down TWO bowls and still manage to munch the siew yoke…..on on on..
try bringing some to your colleague ….i am sure they enjoy having lembu kecil
aiyoh this place… i ate the siew yuk here for lunch, so jelak until dinner oso no need to makan LOL the siew yuk is simply too fat! the first time i went there with 3 other coliks, we nearly flipped when the bill came hahaha RM23 just for the small plate of siew yuk. so now you know why i make siew yuk myself kakaka
you should try the place in Damansara Utama, where the old de champion duck is, since the end of last year it has been run by the fella who used to run his business in section 17…his siew yoke is to die for…and it doesnt cost and arm and leg….maybe the pigs have sacrifice their arms and legs and belly for that siew yoke.
there is another place near bkt jalil….but that place is simply too far to go …for me at least
Robert Wong (the sifu) mobile number is 0122690660
Call him to book in advance. OR to check whether is he open.
A piece of advice, try not to go there on friday. You will end up waiting 1hr, (even you placed a booking)
damnit never ajak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙁
Hey, I also ate here before but yet to blog abt it (when I do, can I link you up?). The siu yoke is so fat, we counted the layers but you don’t taste it as the fat melts in yr mouth – amazing!
I highly recommend this place too!
Yummzzz….will sure check this place out.
abit too pricey, in my opinion… maybe will just try once and that’s it.
I checked this place out on tuesday. Enjoyed the siew yoke tremendously BUT had food poisoning!!! I am just recovering, the food there is just too oily dude. Lim Kit Siang was there on tuesday too (i wonder if he was puking his guts out like me). hmm.
