Sun Ming Charcoal Roast Restaurant @ Taman Connaught

Ever wonder why there are so many cars or lorries stop by the highway side at Taman Connaught? You will notice that there is this particular restaurant that is always packed with customers. So the next question popping out your mind; what is so special of this restaurant that attract high numbers of traffic?

你有没有曾经好奇为什么有那么多车或罗里停在Taman Connaught的大马路旁？你会发现当中有一间饭店常常布满人潮。这时你脑海就会浮现一个问题，这间饭店有什么特别之处可以吸引那么多顾客慕名而来？

Restaurant Sun Ming often being labelled as the best duck rice shop in Cheras area. Not only the locals but even those from dozens of kilometers away will travel to here to try their meats. Meats? Yea, Chicken , Duck and Pork meats.

在蕉赖地区，新明记烧腊饭店常常被公认为是当地最美味的鸭饭。不只是当地人，很多别地区的人也会特地从远处来这里品尝它们的肉。肉？那就是它们的鸡，鸭，猪肉。

Roasted Chicken 烧鸡 Rm17.00

Roasted Chicken comes with shiny, thin and crispy skin on the outside, juicy and tender flesh on the inside. You can feel the juice being squeeze out in your mouth when you are chewing it. (Writing this makes my saliva drooling literally) If the chicken skin could be more crispy, then it would be perfect.

烧鸡的外皮色泽油亮且酥脆，内里鲜嫩味美爽口不腻。当你在咀嚼时，可以感受到肉质鲜嫩多汁。（当我回想起时还是会垂涎三尺）如果鸡皮可以再酥脆一点，那就完美了。

Roasted Duck 烧腊，烧鸭 Rm20.00

Next, their signature dish, Roasted Duck. The Roasted Duck comes with a more crispy skin as compared to the Roasted Chicken.  For a meat lover like me, chewing on the tender and juicy duck meat makes me demand for more. Not only that, the Roasted Duck here does not have any duck odor or fishy smell. Now, I understand the reason for high traffic here.

之后，它们的招牌烧腊，烧鸭。烧鸭的外皮烤得比烧鸡来的更酥脆。对于像我这样的肉食爱好者，烤得鲜嫩多汁的烧鸭使我欲罢不能，而且这里的烧鸭没有鸭的腥味。现在我终于明白为什么这间饭店可以吸引那么多顾客慕名而来。

A plain and tad salty duck sauce is served together that could make duck meat taste even better 秘制的烧鸭酱汁搭配上烧鸭一起食用可以让味道更上一层楼

Char Siew (BBQ Pork Belly) 叉烧 Rm10.00

For the Char Siew (BBQ Pork Belly) , I would say that it can be on par with Nam Heong’s Char Siew. The succulent meat will literally melt in my mouth when I am chewing it. (too much literally but that is how excited am I writing this). Personally, I still prefer Nam Heong’s Char Siew as I love to chew on larger and thicker meat slices. It gives off more satisfaction.

这里叉烧，绝对可以媲美之前介绍过的南香叉烧。烤得恰到好的叉烧让人一嚼就有一种溶化在嘴巴里的感觉。（就是那么夸），对于小编来说，还是会比较喜欢南香的叉烧，因为它们的叉烧比较肥美大块，可以让人嚼得更爽。

Chai Buey / Chai Boey / Hot Sour Soup “菜尾”/“菜脚”/“酸辣汤 Rm6.00

Chai Buey / Chai Boey / Hot Sour Soup or Assam Vegetable is a dish where the mustard green is boiled in a pot together with the leftover of meats. The spicy and sour Assam Vegetable here taste better than most of the Assam Vegetable outside. The level of spiciness and sourness is just right strucking my taste buds . If you have low tolerance to spicy food, you may want to skip this.

“菜尾”/“菜脚”/“酸辣汤”是一种芥菜和剩余的肉类一起烹煮的汤类料理。这里的“菜尾”比起外边多数的“菜尾”来的更美味。辣和酸同时在我嘴里拉扯爆发，如果你不太能接受辛辣食物，小编建议你还是不要点叫，不然后果自负。

One thing I personally noticed, the workers in the food preparation area here are all Chinese. Some you might think that nowadays most of restaurant / kopitiam is dominated by foreign workers. Your Wan Tan Mee is cooked by a foreign worker, which is very common nowadays. However, in Sun Ming only the local Chinese work in the food preparation area while the foreign worker is just delivering the food to the respective table. (No element of discrimination, just purely sharing on what I have noticed)

这里还有个特别之处，那就是这里的员工都是华人。如今，多数的饮食业都是由外来员工烹煮。然而这里烹调食物的还是由华人来操手，而外来员工只是负责递送食物，显得难能可贵。（并没有任何贬低意思，只是有感而发）

Tips from 食 La Vie, be patient in finding parking and seats as the Malay proverbs says; Di mana ada gula, di situ ada semut. The place that has scrumptious food will always be packed. Besides that, once you entered the restaurant, you will notice there is a long queue. The queue is for take away only. So, if you are to dine-in, proceed inside the restaurant for a table.

食 La Vie贴士，这里夺得泊车位有点少，需要点耐心寻找，美食总是值得等待。当你走进饭店时，你会发现有很长的排队，那个队伍是给那些打包的顾客的。如果你是打算在饭店进餐，直接在餐桌点叫即可。
