Yi Ding U Cuisine, Pudu

Yi Ding U Cuisine is a Cantonese roast specialist in Pudu, known first for its Hong Kong-style roast goose. Two private rooms seat 10 to 12 each, with a minimum spend — call ahead if you want one.

A practical warning before you go: it sits on the main road with no parking out front. You park behind and walk in through the back, which means entering through the kitchen. If that is not for you, get dropped at the front instead.

What to Order at Yi Ding U Cuisine

The roast goose (RM198, whole) is the reason to come and it delivers. Char siew (RM40, medium) has a properly sticky-sweet glaze, but ask for half lean and half fat — order it blind and you may get a lean cut that eats dry, where the right cut melts as you chew.

Skip the siew yuk (RM75, large). The meat runs dry and the five-spice is heavy enough to flatten everything else on the plate.

For roast goose in Pudu or Cantonese roast meats in Kuala Lumpur, Yi Ding U is worth the awkward entrance.
