Uncle Soon is offering highly rated egg fried rice starting at RM7 at various locations throughout the Klang Valley. Fried rice is a popular comfort food enjoyed for meals throughout the day. Uncle Soon's version is known for its deliciously wok-licked, eggy, and greasy rice. The only exception to this rule would be BBC's infamous egg fried rice.
Uncle Soon Fried Rice is a popular choice for fried rice in Malaysia, receiving praise from both longtime customers and new ones. Despite gaining popularity online and opening more locations, it continues to be a top choice for many people.
A number of stores in the Klang Valley area
Uncle Soon, who is originally from Alor Setar, now has many stores in the Klang Valley region, such as in Petaling Jaya, Puchong, and Shah Alam. The menu may vary depending on which location you visit, with some offering a full range of options and others having a smaller selection.
No matter where you are, you can always count on finding their popular dish to order: egg fried rice.
The majority of customers prefer to visit the branch and main office at Subang Square. However, if you don't mind the busy atmosphere of hungry office workers and the thought of quickly eating in simple shops transformed into dining areas, then you should check out their lively outlet at Wisma Cosway.
Situated close to Kuala Lumpur's popular shopping district, Bukit Bintang, this place stays open until 3am to cater to late-night hunger pangs. It is one of the rare spots in the vicinity where you can enjoy a satisfying meal for less than RM10.
Their traditional Egg Fried Rice & Egg dish is available for only RM7, which is actually less expensive than a latte from a popular coffee chain.
The Wisma Cosway outlet has a fast table turnover and operates on a self-service basis. Customers can order at the main shop located at the end of a corridor on the 2nd floor of the building, then find a seat and wait for their order.
At first, the maze-like layout of corridors and numerous shops that double as dining spaces may appear overwhelming. However, the attentive waitstaff will easily locate your table without any issues.
When asking Asians about what makes a delicious egg fried rice, many will mention the importance of wok hei, also known as the "breath of the wok." This is not a specific ingredient, but rather the unique flavor that comes from ingredients being cooked in a wok that is seasoned with oil and heated to very high temperatures. At Uncle Soon's restaurant, they achieve this by cooking leftover rice on a gas stove.
The toppings on the egg fried rice from Uncle Soon will be determined by your preferences. Every plate already comes with a fried egg on top and lots of egg mixed into the rice. However, if you want additional toppings like prawns and char siew, it will cost an extra RM10 per plate.
The additional ingredients don't significantly impact the main dish, as the fried rice is delicious on its own. Each grain of rice is fluffy, flavorful with a hint of umami and a satisfying charred taste. The plate only contains the flavorful rice with some eggs and a touch of leafy greens, without any distractions.
To enhance the flavor, try combining a bit of rice with a dollop of sambal belacan served separately. The tangy kick from the sambal helps to complement the rice without being too spicy or overwhelming.
Uncle Soon, a well-known fried rice restaurant in the Klang Valley, has become a popular choice among locals. Despite only offering egg fried rice on their menu, the quality of each plate is so exceptional that it attracts a steady stream of customers who often return for more visits. It is clear that Uncle Soon excels in the simple yet difficult task of preparing delicious fried rice.
