About
Welcome to the delightful world of Meng Kee 明记家乡小食, a hidden gem located in the vibrant area of Jalan Klang Lama, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia. This restaurant is not just a place to dine; it is a culinary experience steeped in tradition and flavor, drawing upon the heart of Chinese cuisine.
Meng Kee shines brightly as a revered establishment, recommended for its richly diverse menu and the authenticity of its dishes. Whether you're a local or a visitor, the allure of this eatery is hard to resist.
Recently, a diner shared their experience, highlighting the Stewed Pork Trotters, which was a showstopper. The dish offers tender meat stewed to perfection, infused with a savory gravy that carries a hint of Bah Kut Teh—an aromatic spice blend that brings warmth to every bite. Adding pork intestines, hog maw, and an egg elevates it further, creating a comforting dish that resonates with many of the patrons' hearts.
Another highlight is the Pipa Duck, a must-try for its crispy skin and tender meat. Drizzled with a luscious plum sauce and sprinkled with sesame, it serves as both a feast for the eyes and the palate. While some diners may find the duck slightly fatty, the flavor-rich experience remains unforgettable. For those who appreciate the art of steaming, the Steamed Fish Head with Ginger is perfection on a plate, showcasing freshness that is coupled with delicate flavors.
The menu also features the Romaine Lettuce with Fermented Beancurd, a lighter option that could benefit from a bit more intensity in flavor, perhaps more heat or depth from the fermented beancurd, to elevate it amidst the more robust dishes that surround it.
What truly sets Meng Kee apart is not just the food, but the atmosphere. The bustling energy of the restaurant, often crowded with satisfied customers, speaks volumes about its rising popularity. With a reasonable total bill of about RM115 for two rice, four dishes, and drinks, it’s clear that this restaurant provides both quality and value.

“ Another great food store on the Old Klang Road. Ordered their famous curry fish, fried tofu and roast duck, and love all of it. Curry is very creamy and you can have two to three bowl of rice with the curry alone. Roast duck skin is very crispy and nit oily at all. 3 of us with rice and drinks costs abt RM130, very reasonable with the big portion, highly recommended. ”
“ First time trying this famous restaurant. Parking is quite challenging but still manageable when early dinner hours like 6pm. Parking is along the road side. The best recommendation is their steam sung fish head only. The rest is average especially the duck. Price for the fish head for our family is like RM35 and personally is affordable and reasonable and delicious. ”
“ Been here mostly for fish head but had steamed chicken today. Tasted good but a bit delayed because it's dinnertime on weekend. Steamed half chicken Rm40, signature tofu and vegetables RM28. ”
“ Food was so delicious Lala ginger steam, fried chicken and signature tofu 3 dishes must try but it’s finished early always before 8pm or call and ask them to reserve Price reasonable Parking ???? find somewhere near by street Service good friendly staff Get there early if weekend because too crowded ”
“ We ordered steamed lala (RM22), fried kangkung (RM13), and signature fried tofu (RM10) for two. The portions were perfect, and we enjoyed every dish. The kangkung was flavorful with dried shrimp and chili, the lala soup had a rich ginger and garlic taste, and the tofu was packed with eggy umami. Everything was served within 10 minutes. 4 Jan 2025 Second time here for dinner The ginger steamed fish (rm35) was delicious and perfectly cooked, but the head was extremely large, so the meat portion was actually less than 50% of the whole fish. We also ordered bitter gourd with egg (rm13), which was not bad and tasted quite good. ”
“ Over the weekend, my family and I went to Old Klang road to have our dinner at Restaurant Meng Kee. The restaurant was recommended by my dad and he has very good comment on the food there. The restaurant is located by the roadside, opposite Scott Garden. We were there early, hence we were still able to get a seat. Initially, we wanted to German Pork Knuckle; but we were told an advance order was require for the dish. So, we had the Stewed Pork Trotters instead, and add in pork intestines, hog maw (pig stomach) and egg. The gravy was slightly starchy and flavourful - it tasted slightly like Bah Kut Teh. The meat was stewed to tender and absorbed all the goodness of the gravy. The the Pipa Duck was drizzled with plum sauce with sesame. The skin was satisfyingly crispy and the meat was tender, but we thought it was a little bit too fat. It would be a perfect dish if the duck was leaner. On the other hand, the Steamed Fish Head with GInger was perfect. The fish was fresh and steamed to perfection. The Romain Lettuce with Fermented Beancurd was alright but I would like to taste more of the fermeted beancurd and slightly more heat. The total bill came to about RM115 - 2 rice, 4 dishes and drinks. It was reasonably cheap, and the quality of the food was good. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner a lot and I could see why this place is so crowded everyday;. ”
