Yut Kee Restaurant Review

After finish eating at this restaurant, then can buy some cake to bring back home to eat. The delicious cake from this restaurant is kaya swissroll or kaya cake. Very famous because the yut kee kaya is very good taste.

Yiji is a traditional Hainanese-run coffee shop. Because Hainanese used to cook for foreigners, it incorporates some Western elements. There were so many people that we had to wait for a long time. The Malay fried rice, pork chops and bread with meat were all very good. The roasted pork roll was sold out by someone who was crazy enough to buy a roll. Later, he didn't want it anymore, but it took too long, so the skin of the pork roll was not crispy enough. ​

The 89-year-old Yi Kee Cafe in Kuala Lumpur is the only Hainanese cafe left in the city. Since it moved to a new address and changed its name to "Yi Kee Chinese and Western Restaurant" a few years ago, business is still booming, and people come to try the old Hainanese flavor that is gradually disappearing. The signature Hainanese chicken chop is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. No matter how long it is soaked in sauce, the chicken still has the right texture. The secret sauce is not thick but the taste is just right. The addition of onions makes it even sweeter. It is one of the best-selling delicacies. Another Hainanese snack, breaded meat, looks ordinary. It is simply wrapped in egg liquid and fried with bread cubes, but it is actually very interesting. The filling is minced pork, Chinese sausage, crab meat and onions, etc. It is simple but delicious. Sit in the old cafe full of Nanyang style on a leisurely afternoon, order a cup of fragrant Hainanese coffee milk ice, plus a cream cake, and spend a wonderful old-fashioned afternoon tea time.

Yut Kee's roast pork is really scary. Normally, I would eat something sweet to calm my nerves, but I couldn't even eat sweets... The homemade kaya is very refreshing... not suitable for me who likes heavy tastes. Iced coffee with milk and butter cake tastes good

We finally came to Yut Kee to eat delicious roast pork rolls! When we arrived, we saw freshly baked pork rolls being taken out of the kitchen. The roast pork roll is only available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Roast pork roll with apple sauce, served with fried potato chips and vegetables. The pork was tender and the skin was nice and crispy. Awesome! We also ordered Hainanese pork chop and pork buns. Elderly boss Lee came over and taught us to eat pork buns with Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce. The flavor of the pork buns was enhanced after adding the sauce. The pork buns are stuffed with minced meat and onions. Yiji’s cream cake and kaya Swiss roll are also very popular. We brought back these two kinds of cakes for our elderly fellow villagers. They enjoyed their meal very much. We have been to Kuala Lumpur many times and regret not having come here sooner. This famous Hainanese restaurant has been serving traditional Hainanese cuisine since 1928. When we go to Kuala Lumpur again, we will definitely go back to Yi Kee to try other Hainanese dishes.

Yi Kee is a famous old coffee shop in Kuala Lumpur. You can eat all kinds of Southeast Asian food here, including Hainanese pork chop, pork buns, Hainanese fried noodles, toast, Hainanese coffee, etc. Did you know that there is a limited-edition dish only available on Fridays and Saturdays, that is roasted pork rolls! This dish is marinated with Western spices and served with a special apple sauce. The skin is crispy and the inside is tender and juicy. It is guaranteed to be unforgettable!

If you want to eat at this restaurant, you must remember two points: ① You must arrive early, because there are a lot of people queuing during lunch time, and you will definitely have to wait for about 30 minutes; ② Business hours: Tuesday to Sunday 7:30-16:30, don't miss the time.   The main dishes are chicken chop, pork chop, and Hainan tea. The serving speed is very fast, and the dishes will be served within 5 minutes after the order is placed. The boss's accent sounds like a Cantonese, so there is no need to worry about language problems. You can communicate in Chinese, and the waiters and aunties in the store are very enthusiastic.   According to the recommended dishes on the menu, I ordered a few. The taste is average, but the chicken chop is tender and the price is very cheap. You can eat a full meal for 30 Malaysian ringgit per person. Overall, it's not bad, you can try it.
