Restoran Yut Kee @ Dang Wangi

You might not even take a glimpse at this restaurant but established since 1928, this sixty-year old coffee shop may be one of the oldest operating shops in Kuala Lumpur. Operated for three generations (your father’s father), this shop maintains its old time Hainan kopitiam interior design that is worthwhile going. I remember I used to go to one of these coffee shops with grandma. She used to put seared coffee onto the saucer and slowly moved her hands in a circular motion while holding on the saucer (sorry don’t now what’s the appropriate verb to use ) to cool off the heat before drinking it.

 

 

 

 

Anyway, I found this place by chance. Was driving round town with the girl I know and I am like F*** YOU looking for breakfast. Then, I saw many people queuing up in the hot sun. I thought some celebrity was doing some shoot there so I decided to park my car and kaypoh. (You know this is also the typical Malaysian behaviour when an accident occurs.)  Apparently the locals claimed they served one of the best Hainanese Chicken Chop in KL. Then I heard the ‘receptionist’ calling names and the eager customers rushed in as though there are in a warehouse sale . “Ohh so that’s how you wait for your turn",” I thought. “DENNIS!” he called again. “YES,HERE!” while I waved to the man like a mad person.

 

 

 

 

I dashed in and immediately seat myself. Boy I was sweating like a dog! Packed with so many barbarians who seemed to be regular patrons. After placing my orders, I was jealous to see plates after plates were churned out to hungry monsters customers.  Here are some of their famous dishes in Yut Kee.

 

 

 

 

Pork Buns is so so. Not as delicious as the good old times according to the regulars. Bun is really oily. I would not really suggest you to try this.

 

 

Deep Fried Chicken/Pork Chop smothered in potato and onion gravy that will send your saliva dripping like a dog who found food! This is good to go! I couldn’t help myself by ordering another serving to cure my hungry stomach.

 

 

These noodles may not be one of the best in town but no other the worst too. You may order this if you are noodles lovers.

 

 

But of course, how could we miss the iced coffee in a local kopitiam. I would personally prefer if they could use the Hainan style coffee cup. Nevertheless this is still a place you can visit.

 

Till I write again.
