Enroute to Moh Teng Pheow Nonya Koah, we stopped by Wai Kei Cafe to check out the roasted meats and char siew. Pondering that we’d have the ability to take pleasure in tender, juicy and fatty char siew like that of Meng Meng Roasted Duck, we had been truly headed for a nasty expertise forward…
What We Had at Wai Kei Cafe Penang
Wai Kei Cafe is definitely much like a kopitiam in Singapore. You’ll enter, discover a seat and order the meals. Simply that at Wai Kei Cafe, the one stall appears to be the roasted meat stall. The employees will method you in your order. Drinks are ordered individually by way of one other employees from the drinks stall…
Plum juice and nutmeg juice appears to be standard at Wai Kei. Nonetheless, we determined to go “conventional” and had coke as a substitute.
Quickly, the employees from the Wai Kei Roasted Meat stall approached us and requested what we want to eat. We determined to go for char siew and roasted meat (siew yoke) for two pax. We additionally requested if we might have 油饭 (actually translated as oily rice), the aromatic rice that’s often served with hen rice in Singapore. Nonetheless, they didn’t have it and reasoned that their meats had been already oily, the aromatic “oily rice” can be an excessive amount of for the client – which is an entire lot of bu**ocks.
By the appears of the char siew roasted meat, you possibly can decide that the meats had been so-so. And it was so. The char siew was dry and the lower was slightly skinny. Style smart, there was a bit little bit of the burnt candy style on a number of the char siew however that was just about it. The dry-ness of the meat, overpowers all different semblance of this dish. The roasted meat on the hand had an excessive amount of fat – a poor proportion of the meat to fat ratio that’s essential for roasted siew yoke meats. The one plus for this platter was that the siew yoke had cackling pores and skin. General, the chili needed to salvage the state of affairs as we tried to down the meats with the by-now-cold rice. Surprisingly, the gravy that was supplied was chilly on the on-set. Therefore, we didn’t contact the gravy thereafter.
