Everything we ordered was amazing! The grilled fish is definitely a must-try, and the prawns were so fresh. Service was lovely too — friendly and welcoming, with a kind auntie who made us feel right at home. Great food, great vibes — highly recommend in KL!

Restoran Meng Kee on Jalan Alor, Kuala Lumpur is known as a long-standing establishment that has grown along with Jalan Alor’s famous street food hub. With all restaurants along Jalan Alor peddling almost the same cuisines like Cantonese Tzi Char, Satay and Grilled Chicken Wings, everyone is spoilt for choice but Meng Kee comes highly recommended. Highly recommended items include Salted Egg Squid (Sotong): Squid is fried with a rich and creamy salted egg sauce. Fried Oyster Omelette (Hor Chien): A crispy omelette filled with fresh, savory oysters. Butter Prawns: Large, juicy prawns cooked in a creamy butter sauce.

In this véry busy street this restaurant is a must visit! The food is served fresh ánd quick, by one of the 50 (!) staffmembers. Have visited Meng Kee many times after my friend Chris took me there years ago. Now every time I’m in KL this is a must! The street is noisy but don’t let that stop you from eating here. My favourites are the vongole with garlic and the buttered shrimp.

Rating it 5 stars cause it was our first night at KL and we had a great time here. The food was delicious and suitable for groups. Teh ice was very good. The fish was also exceptional. All that we ordered were delicious. Fried rice were also good. They have a lot of seating so no waiting. The menu also has a lot of variety so it will fit everyone's palette.

So much fun to walk along Jalan Alor again and then sit and watch passers by from an outside perch at Meng Kee. One of the big draws for me here is the chili stingray, which I get EVERY TIME! Just like coming home. You really can't get this dish anywhere outside of southern Southeast Asia, so it is a favorite of mine in KL and at Singapore hawker centers. This restaurant is nice. Lively, flowing, and with a diverse menu that is reasonably priced. I try to get a different accompaniment to my skate with each visit. Enjoy!

I walked along this popular tourist street over 10 years ago, and it’s become much more crowded since then! The street is now lined with countless food stalls and restaurants on both sides. We decided to try Meng Kee Grilled Fish, which had limited seating due to its popularity. Everything we ordered—from the Malaysian Hokkien Mee to the Sambal Sotong—was absolutely delicious. The prices were also quite reasonable compared to other parts of Kuala Lumpur. We’ll definitely return the next time we’re in the area.

Restoran Meng Lee is definitely worth a visit! The oyster egg is super delicious and full of flavor. The HK-style steamed fish is very fresh with bouncy, tender meat that’s cooked just right. Their Hokkien mee is one of the highlights – rich, flavorful, and very satisfying. The marmite chicken is also really tasty, with a nice balance of savory and sweet. Overall, the dishes are cooked with great quality and consistency, and the portions are generous. A great spot to enjoy comforting, authentic dishes with family and friends.
