Fatt Kee Roast Duck & Chicken Restaurant — photo 1

In the bustling streets of Pudu, Kuala Lumpur, Fatt Kee Roast Duck & Chicken Rice Shop has quietly earned its place as a beloved culinary institution. Operating since 1988, this casual dining spot is cherished for its authentic, traditional roasted meats and comforting dishes that evoke a sense of nostalgia and satisfaction. Despite its simple, no-frills setting under a zinc roof with a handful of fans, Fatt Kee continues to attract food lovers who appreciate genuine flavors prepared with care and heritage.

The secret to Fatt Kee’s enduring popularity lies in its dedication to preserving traditional roasting techniques and delivering consistent quality. Passed down through generations, the recipes and cooking methods remain faithful to the original, giving each dish a robust, satisfying taste that reflects years of expertise. The aroma of roasting meats fills the air, instantly drawing hungry patrons eager to indulge in the signature offerings.

The highlight of the menu is the expertly roasted meats, each boasting distinctive flavors and textures. The roast duck features a glossy, crispy skin with tender, juicy meat that melts in the mouth. Char siew (barbecue pork) impresses with its sweet-savory glaze balancing lean and fatty cuts perfectly. The siew yoke (roast pork belly) delivers irresistible crackling skin that shatters delightfully with every bite, contrasting beautifully with the succulent layers beneath. Roast chicken rounds out the meat selection, tender and flavorful, often served with a fragrant ginger-scallion sauce that complements its juicy profile.

For diners seeking variety, the popular Four-in-One Combo provides a generous plate filled with roast duck, roast chicken, char siew, and siew yoke, served alongside fragrant chicken rice. This combo is perfect for sharing or sampling the best of what Fatt Kee offers in a single meal.

Fatt Kee’s menu extends beyond meats, offering comforting soups and sides that perfectly complement the robust flavors of the roasts. The pork tail soup, enriched with peanuts, is a hearty broth full of depth and warmth. The pork knuckles cooked with black vinegar present a traditional Hakka delicacy that’s both rich and flavorful. Spicy sour mustard greens offer a tangy, spicy kick that whets the appetite, while the coconut chicken soup simmered in fresh coconut water with goji berries and red dates provides a fragrant, mellow counterpoint to the savory roasts.

Located conveniently on Jalan Landak off Jalan Pudu, right opposite Pudu Plaza, Fatt Kee is easily accessible for those exploring Kuala Lumpur’s vibrant food scene. The stall’s operating hours are typically from late morning to late afternoon, perfect for a satisfying lunch or an early dinner, although it’s wise to check for any changes or closures.
