Yut Kee Restaurant, Kuala Lumpur

Warning : This is a highly non-halal post!

Yut Kee Restaurant is a restaurant with nostalgic settings. It has the decorations like an old coffee shop but with modernized services (and the government tax). It's after the normal tea-break time and far to early from dinner time. However, there area still quite a lot of patrons there. Some ordered the "chops", some ordered the bread toast while some went all the way for the Swiss rolls.

As for us, we ordered the Pork Chop and Belacan Fried Rice. The pork chop is served fast, which I think is ready-made and just pour in the brown sauce and reheated a little upon order. However, the meat is quite tender while the brown sauce's thickness is just appropriate. It has a mild sweetness as well. There is a satisfying serving of the sauce which is a good thing for people like me who favours lots of gravy served together with the food. In ordinary chicken chops, etc, the western salads are served. But here, the potatoes, onions, green peas, corns and carrots are served instead. I do think that this combination is not bad, as the sauce can complement these side dishes well. As for the Belacan Fried Rice, the taste is average in my opinion. But the egg mixture in it is still soft and in small chunks which provides some additional textures to the dish. I would definitely order it again, if I would like to have rice the day I would be there again.

Actually, besides the pork chop and belacan fried rice, the recommended food are Roti Babi (I know the name is a little bit... But that's really the name of the dish!) and Kaya Swiss Roll. When we were there, it was 4 pm already and the Roti Babi had sold out. And then, after the pork chop and belacan fried rice, we were too full for the Kaya Swiss Roll. Thus, we would just leave them for next visits. For reviews of the famous Roti Babi, do check out the reviews below.

This restaurant has been a little bit commercialized and there is government tax included in the bill. However, the service there is quite good. When one of the waiter saw that I were to share the fried rice between the two of us, he offered to bring us the bowls and an additional pair of spoon and fork. That's so nice of him, having to be able to try to serve our needs automatically! I think he is a foreigner, and he speaks English, a Filipino perhaps?

Overall, this restaurant is worth at least one visit, for the pork chop (or any other chops, which I suppose would taste similar... :P), the Roti Babi and the Swiss Roll, although I don't have any comments on these two items yet.
