This fake looking Mickey Mouse signboard has been in Jalan Alor street for over 70 years until today. Try googling "Jalan Alor" and the name "Restaurant Wong Ah Wah" (WAW) will appear on most of the web page.

Famous for their signature BBQ chicken wings, it is definitely a dish loved by both the tourists and the locals.

The photo of WAW's BBQ chicken wings alone will leave you salivating for the rest of the day! It's lightly charred skin were grilled perfectly and one bite on it, the taste of the oily and juicy smoky well done marinaded meat would stick to your fingers which anyone would definitely lick away. We ordered at least 8 wings (for 2 pax) every time when we visit them. It's seriously THAT good! WAW's chicken wing is one of the main reasons why I am always back to KL! The staffs at WAW can be quite rude sometimes as it was ALWAYS very crowded when we visit, and I was even told impatiently by them that I need to wait for at least an hour during dinner time. 

Cost: 3.20RM per piece

Roasted Pork Noodle (烧肉捞生面) is another food that you must order when you are at WAW! The noodles, mixed perfectly together with lard oil and black sauce looked so good when it was served and the taste was EVEN better. Every strand of the noodle was springy, similar to the egg noodles (mee kia) in wonton mee. Personally, we felt that the roasted pork we ate was fatty and the skin wasn’t that crispy as compared to Singapore's, however, the wow factor of this dish is definitely the mixture of black sauce with pork lard, which really complemented the taste of each ingredient very well.

Cost: 13RM for small, 18RM for medium, 24RM for large and 30RM for extra large. (18RM is enough for 2 pax)

We also ordered Milk pak choi (奶白菜) with garlic to get rid of the oily taste after we had the chicken wings and the roasted pork noodle. The pak choi was cooked with generous amount of garlic (not crushed), and it was stir fried with oyster sauce. I love to eat the soft pieces of garlic by itself, and the vegetable was very nicely cooked as it was still crunchy even when the garlic and oyster sauce was absorbed by vegetable.

Cost: 8RM

I would suggest you get a table indoor during your visit to WAW as it’s air-conditioned unless you want to end up smelling like some BBQ human meat. It can be really smoky if you take the outdoor seats due to the constant roasting of chicken wings.

WAW's prices were acceptable, even though the service can be improved further. However, the chicken wings there are worth every single calorie despite the poor service. This place is still very worth visiting when you visit Jalan Alor.

Note: Wet tissue is chargeable at 0.60RM each so be sure to return them if you do not want to be charged extra as they will give you by default.
