eat • play • life: Yut Kee @ Dang Wangi

The Famous Kopitiam..

Over the years, Yut Kee is popular for its Hainanese meals and has always been nominated in the "best cheap eats" of the Time Out KL Food Awards.

Yut Kee
- The talk of the town
- The old-styled Chinese coffee shop

Located near to the Dang Wangi lrt station, Yut Kee is conveniently accessible and has always been crowded with all the working adults during weekdays' lunch hours.

You ought to name urself (by also mentioning no of pax)
to the boss at the counter to secure a seat beforehand.

Menu is listed on the white board like how other kopitiams do. It can be seen that the menu is a mixture of Hainanese, Chinese, and Western meals.

As a kopitiam, Yut Kee serves good traditional coffee, which is thicker and more concentrated.

All these whiles, what makes Yut Kee to be outstanding from others is their pork meals. The Hainanese pork chop is one of its famous dishes, where the meat is tenderly and juicily cooked, further enhanced by the nice gravy.

The next one is the roti babi - pulled pork stuffed inside the bread and entirely enclosed by egg.

The roti babi did not taste too much special for us, it was oily indeed. We ate it plainly until we were taught to dip with the vinegar sauce. It did turn out nicer as the sauce has completely boosted up the taste.

And of course, the best one goes to Yut Kee's roasted pork roll. Crunchy skin roasted up to perfection golden brown level, juicy meat, and uniquely made apple sauce. However, it is only available in the weekends (Friday-Sunday) from 11am onwards.

For a more fulfilling meal, Yut Kee has nice fried rice, noodles, and porridge.

Small eats like fried tofu could be found here too.

Furthermore, Yut Kee has one of the best kaya spread that I have eaten. Their kaya is rich in texture and adequately sweet. That is why they have nice french toast - contributed by the delicious kaya spread.

Furthermore, they do have homemade cakes.

As earlier mentioned, the best kaya..
There's the outcome - nice kaya swiss roll.

Fluffy, moisture butter cake.
Very homemade taste.

You can buy them in slice(s) or in a box of slices.

Despite of the crowds, dining in Yut Kee is never frustrating as they provide nice food with prompt service, thereof we will never wait too long to get starving.

Yut Kee is definitely a nice kopitiam that we could find in KL. For those who have never paid a visit here, you might give it a try sooner or later. It is more advisable to go in the weekends, thus having the opportunity to try their roasted pork roll at once. This is what we called "kill two birds with one stone"! =P
