Yut Kee in the heart of KL.

There are countless old buildings in Kuala Lumpur that serve as restaurants, but not many serves food that complements their charming ambience as perfectly as Yut Kee.

When you walk into Yut Kee, you'd feel a certain nostalgia of the good old times when it was perfectly safe to walk to school without getting kidnapped or mugged, and snatch thieves were never heard of.

After which, feeling hungry, you'd want to order everything that's written on the white board on the wall. Roti babi? Nah, that's overated. I'd say go for the good old fashion Loh Mee that needs a splash of vinegar, or better still, bring your own brandy... or how about the Hainanese-style pork chop that's out of this world, soaked in special Yut Kee brown sauce, with diced mixed vegetables and potato wedges on the side. And it's always an advantage if you bring along a friend or two, so you can serve up a 'centre pool' buffet of Hokkien Mee and 'fluffy' French Toast served with 'lumpy' homemade kaya (a coconut milk and egg-based jam).

Oh, and don't forget to pack some exclusive Yut Kee Kaya Swiss-roll for tea-time. Not just for yourself, but also for your less fortunate colleagues who had to work through their One2Two.

Last but not least, don't take for granted the spectacular view of the KL Tower to the left as you exit. Stop. Breath it all in.
