Restoran San Kee — Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur

Chinese Kopitiam that offers Chicken Rice, Pan Mee, Pork Noodle, Siu Chao (Beef Hor, Wat Dan Hor, etc), Nasi Lemak & Kuih Mueh, Dim Sum & Bao, etc.

Atmosphere: 3.5🌟 Not a lot of seats so during peak hours may need to wait a bit for seats. Normal table and chairs that serves their purposes and decent gaps in between tables. Not super old but rather old shop but sort of acceptable cleanliness.

Service: 4.5🌟 Services are generally nice/friendly especially the drinks/kopitiam boss and his staff as well as the pork noodle female boss.

Food: Pork Meat Soup 3.75 🌟 Nice soup and ingredients are a lot. Ordered a bowl without noodles but additional ingredients and add egg comes at Rm 14 and it's filling, good for people that want a low carb diet. Also it doesn't have pork intestine but has liver. Minced Pork nice and Slice Pork are pretty tender as well.

Food: Chili Pan Mee 3.25 🌟 Noodles are wide but a bit thin and soft for me however it's kinda QQ / crooked. The chili paste is nice.

Food: Chicken Rice 3.75🌟 Roast Chicken 3.25🌟, Chasiu/BBO Pork 3.75🌟, Siu Yok/Roast Pork 3.5🌟, Rice 3.25🌟, Chili Sauce 3.75🌟 There's like 5 slices of BBQ Pork and it's a mix of lean and fatty meat. It seems to have caramelised sugar flavour even though it's not very well charred / colour looks plain, the taste is quite good. There's like 7 slices of Roast Pork is well salted/flavoured and skin is crispy. It's also a mixed of lean and fatty meat. Roast chicken is quite good with a nice portion (about 6 rather thick slices). Portion of rice is good but it's a bit on the hard/dry side. The chili sauce feels fresh and taste nice. This plate of mixed meats rice is priced at Rm 13 which I think is quite an affordable price for its mix and portions.

Snacks: Assorted I think the boss source this from different small sellers and sell this at the front of his stall so each item may came from different original sellers. Karipap 2.5🌟: Looks good but taste not that good. the Skin is too thick despite being rather crispy and the fillings taste just so so.

The Coffee shop / drinks owner is friendly. In the morning he has stalls on the walkway that sell bread, packet Nasi Lemak, Kueh, etc. He also now has a stall that sells Dim Sum and Pau.

Food: Chasiu Bao/BBQ Pork Bun 3🌟 Last bun/dim sum for the day, the rest is sold out. Quite soft the bun and fillings have decent flavors.

Drinks: Kopi (Ice) 3.5🌟 Take away less sweet. Feels like it has a good balance of sweetness and coffee fragrance; its not overly bitter. Priced at Rm 3.20 (For Cup it will be Rm 3.50) which is cheaper than...

April 2025 Da ba sa 小炒 (noodles only)

1. Hokkien mee @ RM12 - ok but not the best
2. Ginger scallion wat tan beef ho fun @ 28 - hor fun is full of wok hei, beef slices are generous and velvety smooth. A must try when visit.

Kie Kee chicken rice and porridge

1. 3 combo - char siew/siew yoke/roast chicken thigh @ RM16 - all items are good. Remember not to order chicken liver though. they charge RM3 for it. Gotta be the most expensive liver i had at a chicken rice stall/coffee shop setting. This is the latest chicken rice stall to operate here. Have changed at least 5-6 different vendors over the years!

Pork noodle @ RM10 - good as always. been eating here when they sell at RM6.

June 2022 Nice breakfast joint. We had :- a) Loh Shi Fun Pork noodle soup @ RM8 - nice broth, generous amount of pork and fresh crunchy parts. b) Dry Pork Noodle @ RM8 - Ho fun is smooth and the sauce is well balanced. Accompanying bowl of pork, parts and broth is nice. c) Teh Si @ RM2.50/L - piping hot tea and one of the cheapest around!

Stall is clean and mostly packed with regulars. Servers and Boss is very friendly and courteous and he also sell buns and cakes at the entrance of the shop. Apart from the pork noodle stall, there is also chicken rice, pan mee and one of the longest serving dai chow noodle stall Dai Ba Sha (Big White Shark) to order from. All new prices starts at RM8 up. The wanton noodle seller had since retired. His curry wanton noodle is simply yumz! too bad!

6/2/2023

1. Pork Noodle @ RM8 - nice and generous as always
2. Siew Yoke+Char Siew@ RM9 - siew yoke is good with crispy skin. char siew is flavorful and melts in your mouth! The FOC old cucumber+chicken feet soup is "Kao" and nice. it's been awhile since I tasted this sort of char siew from chicken rice stalls that operates in kopi shop.
3. Roast chicken d/s + char siew@ RM10 - roast chicken d/s good. char siew as above.
4. Teh Si (L) - nice and smooth and the price is among the lowest around!

there is a new stall selling vegetarian Lei Cha (previously from Hoi Sum OUG). Nice chap and good lei cha (if you're a fan). Let's give him...

Famed for the stall 'Tai Ba Sai' offering fried noodles ala Soo Kee style. The tall Hakka chef cooking since 1979, had returned from his sojourn in Japan sowing his wild oats. He was clearly a master of wok hei and struggled to teach his young apprentice grandson, who is now only allowed to clean the wok. The fried beef noodles (RM12) was served with fresh beef slices, young ginger and scallions in a thickened savoury egg sauce with a dash of Shaoxin wine, over a bed of freshly crispered rice noodles. Flavours were mild, not salty with well captured wok hei. Cantonese fried ying yong is at RM8. The day the geriatric chef known for his fried beef hor fun having a day off, opened up a window to try the Pork noodles by a young Hakka cook. However, she is no spring chicken (piggy), having been at it for over 10 years. The bowl was a very admirable effort that compares well with the stall at Sunsea. The liver and kidney were just cooked, not overdone but not HK style either, nevertheless satisfying. The pork balls were tasty with a salted fish hint (dried cuttlefish) as can be expected from Hakka cuisine. Sadly, it was factory made. The RM7.50 bowl was by far a generous serving compared to Sunsea 's popular offering. The bevy of cooks at various stalls here are amusing to say the least, with lots of banter like a HK soap opera in a Char Chan Teng. Conversations among the old folks centered around COVID-19 lockdown, unemployment and lamenting suicides among the despaired. The homemade barley drink was still an...
