Here's an idea for a weekend date: take a drive down to Balakong for Chiun Yi's heavenly roast meats! The sights of the uncle and aunty cheerfully running the business together will set the right mood, even if the setting is a little rustic. Then of course, the Roast Duck (RM28 for half) will do its job of wowing your partner — the crispy duck skin coupled with moist meat within is nothing short of fantastic. Equally good is the Char Siew (from RM14) that boasts dark, delicious edges with just the right amount of translucent fat. Pro tip: Come before the noon lunch rush, lest your roasts of choice run out.
Avg Price: RM15

If you can bear with the slightly longer drive, the roasted reward awaits. Roast Duck (RM28 for half) and Char Siew (RM14) here are to die for. We were fortunate to have snagged the last plate of char siew because by 1pm on a Saturday, pretty much all the good stuff were gone.
