Food Hunt: Tai Lei Loi Kei (澳門大利來記豬扒包) Kepong Branch


Dear All,

Welcome back to yet another edition of Food Hunt and today it's the eve of public holiday where we shall kick off Malaysia Day the next day. Of course, ME & Kimmy had search for new places to eat and we found this restaurant which is very special to both of us. Have you try out pork chop bun before? If not then you should go and try it as this famous pork chop bun arrives in Malaysia and it's from Macau since 1968. We called is Tai Lei Loi Kei (澳門大利來記豬扒包) restaurant and it has a few branches in Malaysia now including the ones at Kota Damansara, Puchong, Kota Kemuning, Lot 10, Taman Desa, Sri Petaling, Uptown Damansara & USJ Taipan. Now we try this branch at Kepong.


We arrived at the restaurant at around 7.45pm and it was crowded. A lot of people waiting for their queue while ordering the food at the counter. Unfortunately there's only 1 counter opened to cater a lot of people. Maybe they should improve on this. We waited for about 10 minutes before being served. We look at the menu and then we saw there's several sets to choose from ranging from Set A to Set G. Since this is the first time we step in, we try out the Polo Pork Chop Bun & Drinks (SET B). Besides you can also add side dishes into your bun including egg, cheese, pork luncheon, ham and etc. at an additional price between RM1.00 to RM3.00. It also comes with a drink of selection Macau Milk Tea, Ice Lemon Tea or Soft Drinks. This is what we've ordered :

1.) SET B - Polo Pork Chop Bun & Drink (Ice Lemon Tea) (RM13.90) + Cheese (RM2.00)
2.) SET B - Polo Pork Chop Bun & Drink (Ice Lemon Tea) (RM13.90) + Egg (RM1.50)
3.) Macau Curry Fish Ball (Ala Carte) (RM5.90)

Upon ordered your meal, you will then wait for your turn for your meal to be served and you will be given a number. This concept is similiar like Chatime or Bear Paw if you have tried before. I must say we waited for a while only (about 5 minutes) and the food arrives. We have to collect ourselves (self-service) when your number is called. The portion is just average and the bun does not come with any cucumber or lettuce. It's just the pork and the bun. Well, do not write them off yet. Firstly the Polo Bun is very delicious and it's my first time trying it. It has a sweet butter taste and it's really nice. I fall in love with their Polo Bun. The Pork Chop meanwhile is tasty where it was before marinated with some kind of sauce and most importantly it was very fresh indeed. Then the pork chop was then grilled into perfection and then you eat it with the bun. It was simply amazing and delicious and also one word SPECIAL. The Macau Curry Fish Ball meanwhile is nice too with the great curry sauce. If you prefer hot and spicy ones, then this might dissapoints you because this version is not spicy and it's just sweetening and in the same time you can smell the curry fragrance while you eat it. Regarding the drinks Ice Lemon Tea that we both selected, it's nice and refreshing as well. Nice! They also sell springy mee as well and it's worth a try as I've got feedback that it's very nice indeed.

Macau Curry Fish Ball (RM5.90) (Ala Carte)
Polo Pork Chop Bun + Cheese + Drinks (RM15.90)
Polo Pork Chop Bun + Egg + Drinks (RM15.40)

The price we pay is quite expensive considering the portion of the bun and the pork chop. The total bill for us is around RM37.20 and there's no service charge or government tax. The portion is just average and for girls, it might be enough for you but not for the guys. I don't mind paying for the price if the food and drinks is nice and most importantly special. I must say we cannot afford to eat every week or every day but once in while is fine for us. I would strongly recommend you try out this restaurant and go and locate their branch if you are interested to try out. Now currently it's trending and each of their branch is fully packed especially during lunch and dinner hours and weekends too. Enjoy your meal!
