Foodies Corner Yut Kee Cafe


Just around the corner from our hotel in K.L. we noticed a large crowd gathered on the pavement outside a little non decrepit cafe. Very basic, nothing flash, I asked what was going on, and was told they were waiting for a chair! If you wished to eat , register at the counter and wait for your name to be called out. I must say this was something new, People wait for a table, but a chair was taking the idea to a new level. The turn over of patrons was unbelievable. This establishment is I was told quite famous all over the city. One gentleman waiting to be served came once a month as a special treat. Everything was simple enough, plain wall with their array of various Asian beer adverts, wood tables, metal chairs. This gentleman told me Chicken Chop was the way to go, and it 8.50r proved to be a good choice. This is a well known Malaysian dish of chicken cooked in a very spicy sauce, first rate flavours. I was there for a half hour or so, and the people just keep on coming. If every eatery was like this their owners would be able to retire in no time. Only opens for lunch, but if you find yourself in Kuala Lumpur check it out.
