[JB, MALAYSIA] Probably one of the most famous shao la eatery near the checkpoint, Ya Wang seems to have a never ending stream of patrons even when I arrived at 10 plus in the morning. Looking at the delicious roast meats that were hanging in front of the shop, I decided to get all of their speciality meats on 1 plate.

The portion of meat given was pretty generous and I quite like all of them. The dang gui herbal roasted duck was tender with a slightly crispy skin (this is not easy to achieve). The roast pork was savoury, tender and had a crispy skin and the char siew was actually the best in my opinion. The exterior was beautifully caramelised and there was a good ratio of meat and fat. The char siew sauce had a good balance of sweet and salty too!

However, I didn't like the oil rice as it was not fragrant nor garlicky enough. The chilli sauce was rather strange as well.

I wouldn't say this is one of the best roast meats I've had, but definitely a decent one. Total price paid was RM30 with another plate of herbal duck rice, which was pretty affordable! A can try if you are in the area!
