A couple weekends ago we woke up bright and early at over 11 am in a lazy Saturday morning, and naturally hungry. The normally quiet and demure Yuki was full of enthusiasm and decided that char siu is what we should have, and she knows just the perfect place for it. A place in Shah Alam that she claimed better than the famed Meng Kee at Glenmarie.
The name of the place? Restaurant Golden Spring, or 阳光, which actually means sun light, but I guess direct translation is overrated for restaurant names.
Restaurant Spring Golden at Kota Kemuning, Shah Alam
The restaurant is located at “the other side” of Kota Kemuning, at a light industrial area that offers very little trouble in terms of parking, certainly a welcoming change.
Getting there isn’t too much of a hassle either, take the first left after Proton, then a couple right turns will get you there.
Business is pretty brisk, and the operator dressed up professionally as a chef and take your order in English, undoubtedly better than some other places whereby ordering food is an exercise in patient and sign language ability, ie: I don’t like wait staffs who can’t speak any of the 5 languages I understand.
siu yoke (roast pork), roast chicken, and char siu (bbq pork)
We ordered just about every type of meat they have – bbq pork, roast pork, roast duck, and roast chicken.
The char siu certainly did not disappoint, the cut was that with a good percentage of pork fat, and those fat areas roasted to perfection – they are half transparent (Yuki said it’s like collagen, it’s good for you, women’s logic…) I just love it and we ended up ordering a second plate. This is certainly one of the best char siu I’ve had, especially for those who enjoy the meat a bit on the fattier side.
The siu yoke isn’t shabby either, they are firmer than those you get from Wong Kee at Pudu, but with very good flavor and very decent crispy skin. Roast chicken is pretty average.
roast duck, vegetable, rice with free soup
Another side dish we ordered was the roast duck, the breast meat that we got was quite a huge chunk and did taste pretty decent, tho nothing spectacular. Roast duck lovers should opt for the likes of Sunrise and Loong Foong instead, but this one isn’t too bad.
Vegetable you see in this picture is for decoration and to get off our parents’ back when it comes to an argument for balanced meal. 😀
KY, Haze, Horng, Yuki, and Kerol, we had an awesome brunch
Lunch came up to about RM 15 or so per person, with the amount of food we had, it was certainly fair. I’d go back to this place again.

Ahhhhh….. I miss this place now that my wife doesn’t work in Kota Kemuning anymore…. those early morning Char Siew….
imantulen: well there’s always weekends! 😀
I like pun fei sau char siew also… it looks very nicely caramelised 🙂
Baby Sumo: yess, sau yoke is useless! 😛

Huai Bin: correcto! 😀
Ah, i would love to eat this!
Michelle: I believe so! 😀

Nikel: they are 😀
Do you know about the chicken rice stall at Sun Yin Loong Aman Suria? They serve really good everything – roast chicken, siu yoke and char siew. I’d been going there for the coffee/toast for ages before getting round to trying this stall.
suertes: oOo I’ve heard good things about it!
Ahh I miss the char siu in Malaysia! 😛 Caramelized and slightly charred.. I must learn how to make them soon 😛
iamthewitch: but you get good coffee! 😀
why you no look for me at kota kemuning?!!
eiling: cos i didn’t know we were going to kota kemuning. lol
Hi KY,
Unfortunately i got to highlight to you that this area is Taman Sri Muda. You got the Seksyen 25 of Shah Alam part correct.
Taman Sri Muda have been around way longer that Kota Kemuning and is not part of Kota Kemuning or “the other side” of Kota Kemuning. More accurately it’s just opposite of Kota Kemuning.
Sorry..i got to defend my home turf…ahahahah 🙂
CK Lai: hahaha ok you are right, as an outsider I only relied on maps. Thanks for the education. 😀
I am witrh CK on this – this is Sri Muda – this place been here before they built kora kemuning, back then kota kemuning was just some palm oil estates …
Earl Ku: Ahh. thanks!
