It’s your favorite local Chinese foodie blogger coming at you with another Chinatown post. I think this inspiration post is from Jalna and Cy. I had a hankering for a roast duck rice plate and gave Mei Mei Chinese Style BBQ a try! It’s not located in the most savory location – the Maunakea Marketplace and if you know, you know. But look past that for a second and give this tiny stall a shot. It’s a small mom and pop shop and they just wanna feed you delicious roast meats.
Funny story is, Chan and his co-workers were going to Chinatown to eat lunch the next day and he asked if I wanted anything and I asked where (it wasn’t Mei Mei). Then I demanded they go to Mei Mei since it was so good. They did and they were not disappointed.
Chinese Roast Pork | $16/lb.
Really good roast pork. A perfect balance of fat and meat and the skin? Let me tell you. The skin is light and crispy – not at all hard. Chan really liked their roast pork!
Roast Duck Soft Noodle/with Sauce (#11) | $15.00
Not my meal, but would you look at the amount of duck they give?? For $15.00, this is a steal because it is so expensive to buy roast duck nowadays.
Roast Duck & Ginger Chicken/with Rice (#5) | $14.00
This bugga was only $14.00 and it was so satisfying. They gave me the cold ginger chicken sauce on the side and of course the roast duck got it’s own sauce too (honestly I think it’s just the drippings which is awesome). All this meat is served over rice with a side of choy sum, it’s a great deal. I highly recommend Mei Mei!
There’s always a line there…they’re usually the busiest. Wonder why LOL
I used to always go there and get the duck noodle dry (not soup). However, my body doesn’t do well with duck anymore. SO delicious but so fatty – which is why it is delicious. Instead I go to the Filipino place next to it and get pancit and a vegetable dish. A little more healthy. And I also get my hamachi don from Maguro Brothers.
Chinatown really has the best food.
everything sounded & looked ono!
