Old Tricycle Charcoal BBQ Yong Tau Foo has been around since the beginning of the year. Folks went gaga about this place even though it serves yong tau foo only. The interesting twist offered by this stall, to some many, is that you get to play grill your food at table side. And this is what got the crowd raved about this place in and out.

There were a few tables occupied when we were there at about 615PM. But what I heard from close friends of mine is that crowd starts to flock in at about 7PM. So, it was lucky for us to secure a table easily and got our orders taken within minutes. The menu was straight forward as there were ala cartes as well as set meals. It’s best to go for their set meals as you get best most of the items at affordable price.

Charcoal Pit

With the portable charcoal pit placed beside the table, you’re free to do whatever you want with your food but it is best to pay attention when grilling as they will turn to black carbon within minutes.

The yong tau foo with stuffing were coated with the same sweetish sauce. It felt kinda one dimension but that’s just me.

If there’s one thing I like is the stuffed pork bacon because it’s bacon! We went for extra order as well as the crispy fried foo pei (bean curd skin). The curry chee cheong fun with pig skin was delectable.

Overall, the experience was a-okay. The total bill including extra orders and drinks came to about RM53. We smelled like burnt moving objects after the dinner but we expected that to happen. Now with this off the list, it is time to explore Taman Desa further as it is just 10 minutes away from where I live.

bookmark_borderRoasted Duck Rice By Sing Kee Kitchen, Taman Desa

On one hazy hot afternoon, me and my colleague made our way to a shop in Taman Desa for lunch. Although they serve other foods such as noodles and mixed economy rice, it is said that they are famous for its forte; roasted duck rice.

Sing Kee Kitchen

This shop, which occupies two shoplots, is situated in busy business area of Taman Desa and one would likely to miss this out as the shop is not-so-visible from the main road. If you know where Wisma Telekom Taman Desa is, then it is safe to say that finding this shop will be a breeze.

Ice Barley Water

As we arrived at about 12.45pm, the lunch crowd was about to build up. But thankfully, we were able to grab a sit without hassle. Upon sitting down, there will be a waiter / waitress to take you order.

Chili Sauce

It didn’t take long for our food to arrive; say 5-10 minutes. As a carnivore, I opted for roasted duck and pork rice (a.k.a. Siew Yoke) while my colleague ordered a normal duck rice. The duck meat was good, tender yet juicy and not chewy and the skin was kinda crispy. Topped with their sauce, it makes one craving for more.

Roasted Duck Rice

The roasted pork was equally good as well. The skin was crunchy yet not too salty and the meat was tender and succulent with a good amount of lard in between them. It literally melts in your mouth (not the skin, of course!) as you munch away piece by piece.

I didn’t know about this shop’s specialty at first but now that I do, I wouldn’t mind going back there again if that’s if I got extra time during lunch hour. Give it a try if you are in Taman Desa, especially around Jalan Desa Bakti.
