Food 1 : Yut Kee Restaurant

Sunday morning, i was woken up by my partner in crime before my alarm rang, which is unusual. i assume the Yut Kee restaurant which is famous for its roasted pork must be really good. we both reached there around 9.30am and there was already a crowd enjoying their breakfast. we registered at the counter (to let the boss know how many person we will be having) and waited for about 10 minutes or so, our names were called and we got a seat.

since there was only 2 of us, we couldnt order much. thus we ordered the famous pork chop and roti babi. i assume the pork chop is the item-on-demand because i was served really fast.

the above is the famous pork chop. two lightly fried pork chop, served with potatoes and some vegetables such as chick peas&corns&carrots (those standard 3 combination) and topped with some gravy. rm10 for this portion is reasonable. but to my disappointment, it didnt taste as good as expected. its just the ordinary pork chop topped with mushroom sauce to me.

 

the roti babi was served like this. some batter fried served with a slice of tomato, cucumber and bits of cabbage. it doesnt look good to me, and i paid rm8 for this. but when its cut open, it was a different story.

the pork filling tasted pretty good. it has some onions in it which i assume made it sweeter. but the filling was really little and you wont be seeing any filling at the edges. but i will order this again compared to the pork chop.

lastly, the main event of the day was the roasted pork. it supposed to come out at 11am, but even after some delay, we get to see the famous roasted pork.

they came out with 3 rolls and as it passes by us, we could smell the aroma instantly! wasting no time, the partner gave me permission to get some for our tummy and some to be packed for my parents at home. i quickly ordered half of it to be packed and 2 slices to be consumed there itself.

we are served with this. the skin is indeed crispy and chewy, but do not let your grandparents eat this for it may pull their teeth out because its really hard. but the meat was good, maybe because of the peach and other secret ingredients roasted with it. you may find it weird but they served it with apple sauce. salty and sweet. i tried and did not like it, i prefer it just like that. without the skin because its that hard.

it cost us rm8 per slice and rm75 for half of the roll which comes in 8 slices.

we had their half boiled eggs too while waiting for the roast pork, it was good. one of the better ones. not too watery and not too cooked. but beware, their soya sauce is extremely salty, so do not put too much first. i learnt it the hard way.

i might come here again, and try other food too. so you guys can give it a try. oh by the way, if its almost 10.30am, try not to get angry at those customers at the tables that are not moving and not eating, they are waiting for the roast pork!
