Uncle Soon fires up one solid plate of Prawn and Char Siew Fried Rice (RM9.50) that'll leave you craving for more. It's usually busy for lunch, so swing by for dinner instead. Expect fragrant wok hei-laden rice studded with pieces of char siew, best paired with a dollop of the salty and spicy sambal for more oomph. Pro tip: Burppler chingwens a highly recommends adding a fried egg to your order, especially if you love runny eggs.

Prawn + Char Siew + Egg Fried Rice [RM9.50]
✨: Portions were pretty generous, with each bite bound to contain a piece of meat. I particularly enjoyed the combination of the crispy fried egg, soy sauce, and the fragrant rice.
💬: However, the price tag is pretty hefty for a hawker meal. Also have to add that the char siew pieces tasted quite old and unfresh (not sure if it's a one-off thing).
In short, a sinful and satisfying meal but certainly not the best fried rice I've had.
A plate of this Char Siu fried rice is good enough to keep you wanting for more. Make sure to add an egg, especially if runny eggs are your fetishes. Have it with their sambal and voile'. But if you're rushing for time, you might want to reconsider, because the crowd gets cray cray during lunch sometimes. Don't worry, aunty will tell you the ETA of your fried rice if there's a long queue.

SS15 folks will be happy to vouch for Uncle Soon's fried rice in corner coffeeshop Restoran Foh Foh. A popular pick in the day, the place sees crowds swarming at lunch, so make this a dinner destination instead — it's also much cooler at night. Always — we repeat — always order the Char Siew Fried Rice (from RM7). Fried in a searing hot wok, the rice is packed with fragrant wok hei in every grain. You can count on a perfectly fried oozy egg to blanket the rice, while the luscious char siew bits give it a yummy meaty flavour. The dish is plenty delicious on its own, but also try it with the side of homemade sambal belacan. Recommended by Uncle Soon himself, the gleaming red sauce adds a saltish, spicy edge to the meal.

SS15 is known for many things, most of them unfortunately gripes like the beyond-impossible task of finding a parking spot and the dreaded single-lane traffic. But there are a few diamonds in the rough; Uncle Soon Fried Rice in Restaurant Foh Foh being one of them. This humble hawker stall is an immensely popular choice for Subang locals and students alike. Depending on your desired portion and whether you would like an egg on top (you have to), a plate of fried rice here will cost anywhere between RM6 to RM8. Jewelled with char siew bits, the dish is served with an appetising sambal belacan that completes the meal!
