The first time we visited Yut Kee was few weeks before they closed down at their old pre-war shoplot. Yes, we have so many opportunities of going over but we never did. For one, having used to working in KL for so many years, when it comes to weekend, I would rather not drive to downtown KL at all for anything and stay within PJ or Bangsar instead.
Fortunately and hurray for me, hubby was in an adventurous mood this morning and decided to have breakfast there. It's obvious that I accepted it because it's so rare to see him agreeing to drive to KL for eating, shopping or sight-seeing.
We waze our way there to their new place, which is only about one road away from their old vacated place.
The place is still as crowded as before. However, we were glad that we didn't have to wait long at all and got a place to seat. They are well-known for sharing tables with other eaters, just like Hong Kong.
You can't possibly miss the building as it's painted bright red and they still retained the old nostalgic, pre-war look interior with some decorations on the wall. Even the chairs and tables were retained to keep the look. At their front cashier, I noticed this old safe, which I simply must take. It's so antique !
This time, we ordered their famous chicken chop and roti babi. Roti babi looks simple but as you cut the bread, inside filling contained lots of shredded onions with pieces of crab meat and meat.
Chicken chop was well-cooked and balanced flavour. They serve other food too and even on weekdays, lunch crowd here is crazy too as the offices are nearby.

This is an overdue post. I've heard about this place from friend, especially those from East Malaysia who are particular about how Sarawak dishes are prepared and cook.
I find it hard to look for "kon lou" food. Reason is that most of the dry food prepared here in Peninsular tend to have some wet sauce/soup in a dry dish. For me, when I want "kon lou", means super dry.
What's more is that, I have tried few places that has kolo mee and so far not impressed by it. So, I finally told my hubby that on one fine Saturday morning, to drive to the place and try it.
We went there around 9am to Kelana Sentral. It was easy to find a place to park. From outside, you would think that there is nothing to eat as ground floor was extremely empty with lots of vacant shop lots but at one corner, you can find the shop with many customers.
Their specialty there is obviously kolo mee. But, they also have Sarawak Laksa, Tomato Yee Mee.
Kolo Mee is really satisfying here. Their dry version is really dry with no sauce or water at all and the meet is thin and not thick and fine. You can order small or big bowl.

Another time when we return to the place, I tried their Sarawak Laksa. Very generous portion of shredded chicken and the soup is well-balanced and rich, where the flavour doesn't overpower the other.

This is one place where I will bring my friends and family from overseas to try, if they are not going to Sarawak.

I was craving for a nice steam fish on a lovely Friday night. I can still remember when I ate at Mun Kee Steam Fish and Jalan Imbi with my ex-colleagues and it was good. After some searching, I found out that they have an outlet in Happy Garden. I was happy and we soon, we were there for dinner.
They are famous for their steam fish and few other dishes as well, but I just want to eat their steam fish. They only use Soong fish (Asian Carp) and I love it that the bones are big and is easy to eat. They have five ways of cooking the fish; neon, clear steam, black bean, sambal sos and smash ginger steam.
We ordered ginger steam fish and one vegetable.

The total damage is about RM45 including drinks and 2 rice. To me, the price is very reasonable and I wouldn't mind travelling back to the place for the fish. It is packed during dinner time. So, if you don't like the wait, do come before 8pm or after 9pm.
