Best 10 Roast Pork in JB Malaysia Series. Restoran Oktober in Johor Jaya Bakawali 洪记烧腊鸡饭
Seeing that there is always a long queue for Hong Kong roasts at 洪记烧腊鸡饭 during lunch, we came early to Restoran Oktober coffee shop in Johor Jaya (Bakawali side) to try it out.
One of the Best JB Char Siew. Meng Kee Hong Kong Roast in Kakilang Kopitiam 明记港式烧腊饭档
I have good friends who tip me off whenever they chanced upon good food finds - Thanks Chris. Then, I have buddies like Aaron who would taunt me with late night pictures like these char siew from Meng Kee in Kakilang Kopitiam (coffee shop) whenever he is in Johor Bahru. It's a great way to motivate me 😂

Went to Taman Megah Ria for a brunch of charcoal roasts by Ah Hsian.
Sunroast Roast Chicken Char Siew in Yong Peng Johor 宏达烧腊
Little Yong Peng town is the perfect pit stop for the three hour plus drive between KL and JB. Yong Peng town is about mid point between KL and JB, and the main street is located just off the North-South Expressway - there is no need to drive another 30-45 minutes to town (as is the case with Kluang, Segamat, Batu Pahat or Muar).
CLOSED Best Char Siew Wanton Noodle in Kulai, and some say Johor? 新珍记云吞面
CLOSED My friend Puan Chong brought us here at 新珍记云吞面 in Kulai, her family's favourite wanton noodle shop. 新珍记's claim to fame is their signature "crystal" char siew or roast pork belly.
柔佛古来, 新珍记云吞面的玻璃叉烧, 肥瘦参半. 咬在嘴里, 软软的, 又甜又香. 跟全蛋面一起吃, 好好吃的云吞面.
Restoran Local Best Roast Pork Sio Bak Char Siew Desa Jaya Johor Bahru JK1446
We were food spotting around Taman Desa Jaya (near Jusco Tebrau) when we were stopped in our tracks by this huge eye catching slab of golden siew yok (roast pork belly or sio bak) at Local Best coffee shop 本地好美食天地.
位于新山 Desa Jaya, Jalan Danau 1 的"本地好烧腊"烧肉脆皮, 肉嫩, 油香. 叉烧也好吃. 值得一试.
Hwa Sun Roast Duck Rice Masai Johor 华山烧腊店
Went food spotting in the old Masai area today. When we asked passers by where do locals like to eat in Masai, we were pointed to Hwa Sun Roast Duck Rice at Jalan Jagung (a backstreet behind Masai's main street, Jalan Masai Lama).
Closed: Hong Kong Roast Meat at Tong Tong Hong Kong Delicacy 糖糖美食方 (Formerly Tong Tong Cross Way Bay in Johor Bahru, Taman Sri Tebrau 糖糖尖沙咀港式烧臘)
Johor Bahru recently has a new Hong Kong roast meat shop called Tong Tong Cross Way Bay 糖糖尖沙咀港式烧臘.
The chef owner Martin invited me to visit his newly opened shop in Taman Sri Tebrau and to try his popular roast meats.
Martin used to run his small roast meat stall in a Singapore coffee shop. Martin made his name there with his ultra crispy skin siew yok 烧肉 (roast belly pork), even earning praises from KF Seetoh, Singapore's famous food guru.
Martin recently moved to Johor Bahru.
Speaking with Martin, I gathered that the keys to Tong Tong Cross Way Bay's signature roasts are in the techniques which Martin personally developed and also the quality of the ingredients.
The marinated ducks are blown dry before roasting. Tong Tong Cross Way Bay uses only chilled ducks of at least 3 kg size for their roast ducks.
Martin said that chilled large ducks are the meatiest, juiciest and more flavourful.
Local chilled pork is used for Cross Way Bay's siew yoke and char siew 叉烧.
Inside Tong Tong Cross Way Bay roast meat shop, the decor is still bare bones at the moment. Martin intends to renovate his shop in stages. His priority now is to make his roast meats known in the local market.
Already, Martin's ultra crispy siew yoke and other roast meats are winning him a growing regular clientele in JB.
Our tasting plate of char siew and siew yok.
The signature of Tong Tong Cross Way Bay's siew yok 烧肉 is their golden ultra crispy skin.
At it's best, the thick savoury skin is crispy like an airy brittle rice cracker with just the right (slight) greasiness. In the mouth, the crispy skin crumbles and tastes like a light buttery cookie.
The attached fat and lean meat are moist and tender.
For the char siew, I liked the thin translucent pieces with juicy tender fat and meat.
Tong Tong Cross Way Bay's roast chicken.
The golden brown crispy skin popped off the thick chunk of tender moist chicken meat.
Besides roast meats, Tong Tong Cross Way Bay also serves braised pork trotters but we just had no more stomach space to try it.
The roast ducks were also sold out today, so we didn't get to taste that either.
Shall be back for these :D
The best time to be at Tong Tong Cross Way Bay is when the shop opens at 10:00am and the roast meats are hot, just out of the roaster.
Tong Tong Cross Way Bay's ultra crispy skin siew yok 烧肉 is a Must Try.

Chicken and Char Siew Rice at Chang Man 常满 Dim Sum in Taman Nusa Bestari, Johor Bahru
When I was at Chang Man to try out their Hong Kong dim sum, besides being impressed with their dim sum, I also enjoyed their chicken and char siew rice. Today, I went back to Chang Man 常满 again, specially for their chicken and char siew rice.
Chang Man included chicken and char siew in their menu to appeal to a wider customer base. Furthermore, Kok Weng, one of the partners is skillful in roast meats as he had worked in one of Kuala Lumpur's top roast meat restaurants for nearly 20 years.
Char Siew 水晶叉烧 @ You Kee XO Restaurant in Taman Ungku Tun Aminah
You Kee XO main branch at Taman Ungku Tun Aminah, Skudai
You Kee XO is famous for their roasts
I just tasted a very special char siew at You Kee XO restaurant in Taman Ungku Tun Aminah (TUTA). The restaurant calls this their crystal char siew 水晶叉烧.
 |
| 水晶叉烧 |
To start with, it does not look like any other ordinary char siew. This char siew looks translucent even though it is cut into thick chunky pieces unlike the usual thin slices. It actually reminds me of a piece of candy or a nougat.
When I bite into it, it felt slightly bouncy on the outside. Once you have bitten through the caramelised, slightly charred outer layer, the succulent inside is tender. Chewing this firm and tender combination is a pleasure to the taste buds. The flavour is naturally sweet and tasty. Overall this is more like a flavourful meat candy than your typical char siew.
This unique char siew is outstanding in looks, flavour, taste and bite. Definitely a must try.
