In Malaysia, char siew, particularly charcoal-grilled char siew, is a culinary gem that can be found in many places. However, if you find yourself in Sungai Way, there’s one place you absolutely must not miss – the renowned Mopping BBQ Pork a.k.a Char Siew at The Home Cooking Dishes 鼎丰拖地叉烧
It’s not an exaggeration to say that when people in the Klang Valley think of traditional char siew, The Home Cooking Dishes 鼎丰拖地叉烧 often comes to mind. This char siew isn’t just a local delicacy familiar to Sungai Way residents since childhood; it’s also beloved by folks in the surrounding areas, including the industrial zones.
The Home Cooking Dishes 鼎丰拖地叉烧 which has been interviewed by Sin Chew Daily and Nanyang Siang Pau, doesn’t just serve char siew. You can also order a variety of home-cooked dishes to complement your meal. On the day of our visit, we noticed many customers ordering dishes like steamed chicken, steamed fish, and kangkung belacan, all prepared in a homely and delicious style. Of course, you can simply go for the classic “Char Siew Rice.”
However, no matter what other dishes you choose, the highlight of your visit should undoubtedly be the “Mopping BBQ Pork a.k.a Char Siew.” But why is it called “Mopping BBQ Pork“?
While all char siew may look the same at first glance, there are subtle differences beneath the surface. For example, honey char siew emphasizes the addition of maltose or honey, giving it a caramelized, sweet flavor. Mopping BBQ Pork, on the other hand, focuses on the meat itself, selecting thick and succulent cuts of pork belly that are grilled to perfection. This grilling process results in a char siew that is richly marbled with fat, making it tender and flavorful. It’s neither overly greasy nor dry – a perfect balance of lean and fatty.
Preparing Mopping BBQ Pork is a labor of love. The meat is marinated for a day and then roasted for an hour until it’s just right.
While you wait for this delectable dish to be served, you can also sample their snacks, such as sesame balls.
