Yik Kee, Karak

With the East Coast Highway, we no longer need to drive through Karak town in order to get to the East Coast. Today, I made a special trip there just for old times sake. My destination was none other than the famous Yik Kee restaurant. Although they have several outlets in the Klang Valley and Gohtong Jaya, nothing beats the original Karak Yik Kee.

I was happy to see that nothing much has changed in Yik Kee physically. I can find the toilets easily and th layout of the restaurant  was just as I remember it. There are 2 sections – air conditioned and non air conditioned. We chose to dine at the former as it was a rather hot afternoon.

A trip to Yik Kee is never complete without their signature sang har meen – and this was the first thing we ordered. Priced at RM46, this plate of noodles was …in one word, AWESOME!!

Fish paste soup (RM12) - this soup may not look appetisingm but trust me, the freshness of the fish can be tasted in every single fish ball.

This is oiled lettuce (RM8) – slightly oily though!

This BBQ duck (RM15)  served with a tangy sauce which certainly was a good complement. It was interesting to note that despite the way the duck was served, the skin was still crisp and the meat pleasingly firm. Love it!
