Breakfast at Yut Kee


I guess I got the heredity from my dad that I love having breakfast, I woke up early in the morning on a pleasant Saturday and drove down to KL just to have breakfast with KTV they all.

The hainanese kopitiam we went - Yut Kee, located at Jalan Dang Wangi, is a very traditional kopitiam exist before the Merdeka, and that's why some of my friends call it "Gu Dong Dim" - the antique shop. It is like a blast from the past once you step into this kopitiam, they are using all the ancient furniture - the round marble tables, the yellowish wall painting, the hard wooden chair, the old fashion food cabinet, the hand-written menu, the old potraits, the wooden staircase...


I think the old potrait at the left of this photo is the founder of Yut Kee. Quite spooky eh?

Travel back in time?

The ancient fan and radio

We arrived there before 9am, it was quite crowded but since it is still early for other city-dwellers, we still manage to get a table for 4 of us. We ordered roti babi, french toast, hainanese chicken chop, mee suah, marble cakes and half-boiled eggs!!

Roti Babi is the specialty of Yut Kee and a must-try item, my most favourites. It is a deep fried bread stuffed with minced pork, crab meats, onions and some other ingredients. It is crispy on the outer layer and tenderly soft inside it, very rich with fillings too. Don't forget to eat with the Worcestershire sauce, then you will really get the taste of hang fuk. ^__^..

The perfect match - Roti Babi + Worcestershire sauce

Another specialty of this kopitiam is the marble cake. The marble cake is very butterly and excellent! And I like the french toast as well, it is quite different from the french toast we usually have in hong kong style char chan teng, it doesn't comes with the honey but with homemade kaya instead. The HK style frenchtoast is usually quite soggy because it dip with the honey and thick butter, but this french toast they serve in Yut Kee is having crispy outer crust and yet not too sweet. Just superb.

We also had the Hainanese Chicken Chop, not bad too but it is forgetable, anyway, it is worth trying. However, the mee suah is just a so-so, I find it a bit too salty.

Mee Suah, with the chicken heart

Actually what I love most from Yut Kee is their kopi. The kopi is very kao and fragrant. It is the best coffee in town, can even beat the Starducks and Kopibean.


Woooo, ready to get "weng" by it's thickness

By the time we finished up our food, we intended to chit chat for a while just like other old folks, but we realized there is a long queue outside the kopitiam, thus we just leave the kopitiam and go back home..

Burp.. Opps, excuse me. :p

Jeff Dunham - Achmed the Dead Terrorist

Very funny...

"Allah damn it".. LMAO

Movie Half Marathon

I am on leave today and wanted to catch a movie with KTV. We both have different to-watch list and none of us want to compromise, thus we decided to let each of us pick one and watch both. Hehe. And there we go for the movie half marathon.

KTV's pick is the Nim's Island. The movie is nice. I really love the little miss sunshine - Abigail Breslin, she is so cute and talented, and she looks so cheerful that can easily makes you feel happy. Besides, the movie itself is very funny and the story line is quite special too. Good one.

Then after the Nim's Island. We have 3 hours gap for our next movie - Kite Runner. Thus we shop in the Homedec fair which held in the Mid Valley Convention Center. Wow, it seems there will be A LOT to spend once I get my house, I can really feel the pressure now. Aiks.

After the 3 hours "research" in Homedec fair + dinner. It's time for the Kite Runner. This book is one of my favourite books and that's why I was so keen to watch it. But since I already know the storyline of it, so there are no more excitement for me. The movie is a bit too "compact" as well compare to the book. Quite disappointed with this movie. But still, this is a great book and if you havent read this book, it is good to watch this compact version from the movie.

Karaoke for Fee Lan's Birthday

It's Fee Lan's birthday, thus we decided to throw her a birthday celebration at Neway karaoke on last Friday. As usual we meet everytime, we had lots of fun and gone crazy on that night. We sing, joke, eat, drink plus take a lot of photos!! It was a superb weekend despite the hangover I had on the next day. Hehe..

KC, Pei Chin, Kem, Fee Lan and me, we were Uni-mates since the first/second year in MMU. Where is Yong Hooi??!!

Actually we intended to act cute lor, failed attempt.

This one more like it


Well, we both drunk. Wait, look at Chia Lee beside us.

And this is how we get back home...

Seriously I don't know how can I still got back to my apartment to pack my stuff and heading to Chai Kem's place to stay overnight, thanks to Pei Chin and Fee Lan that didn't drink on that night. I slept for just 3 hours and woke up at 6++am due to the hangover and unable to fall asleep again. Then I drove back to Seremban and get ready to the Malacca trip. Will blog about the Malacca trip once I get the photo.

妹妹要快樂

妹妹要快樂
作詞:鄔裕康 作曲:曹格 編曲:涂惠源
一個人在公園的大樹下 她看著別人媽媽 帶著寶貝回家
揹起了髒髒的布娃娃 她小小聲的問 誰來帶我回家
天黑了 風大了 要下雨了
媽媽呀 知不知道 娃娃會害怕

妹妹揹著洋娃娃 哭了 她哭了
有誰願意牽著她 陪她過心慌
妹妹的心願很小 長大 快長大
眼淚就能自己擦 跌倒也能勇敢回家

長大後他還是到處飄盪 鞋子箱子在哪裡 那裡就會是家
每當她想起那布娃娃 也會想念媽媽 和常夢到的家
妳好嘛 健康嘛 天氣涼了 媽媽你知不知道到 我想有個家

妹妹揹著洋娃娃 哭了 她哭了
有誰知道她的傷 帶著她流浪
妹妹的心願很小 快樂要快樂
而那孤單的眼淚 只想流往家的方向

妹妹揹著洋娃娃 走到花園來看花
娃娃哭了叫媽媽 沒有人回答

妹妹揹著洋娃娃 哭了 她哭了
有誰知道她的傷 帶著她流浪
妹妹的心願很小 快樂要快樂
妹妹要快樂

De Pink Mood

It was a pretty good breezy evening and I spotted the pinkish dusk once I step inside my apartment while I back from work. It does lighthen up my day. Argh, too bad the point-and-shoot camera I'm using just unable to capture the real beauty of this breathtaking scene.

Dear Pa and Ma

Pa and Ma, did you see me last Saturday in Nilai Memorial Park? It has been a while I didn't dream of you and I wonder are you still "there"? I am glad if both of you have move on and started a new life somewhere.

After so many years, I still miss you very much. Did you hear my whispering on that day? I told you about my job, my life and how's sisters and brothers doing. I wish you can see how cute your grandsons and granddaughters are, definitely you will love them very much as I do and I can imagine the wide open heartly smile on your faces if you see them from up there. :)

Are you proud of me when I tell you I bought a condo recently? I wish you are still around, so that I can spare a room for you to spend your weekends here, and I'll bring you for a pleasant dim sum for breakfast, then enjoy the nice breeze and view from the balcony, but you may nag about me being messy and insist to clean up the house for me, then I may show you my grumpy face, hehe. You know I have been graduated from Uni for almost 4 years, I am no longer the kiddo and boyish me, but I know I am always a kid in your heart. Don't worry about me, I am doing good; just facing a little hiccup lately, but I can still handle it. Sisters and brothers are being very supportive to me. We all miss you very much.

How I wish I can have a nice chat with two of you again and tell you how much I love you. The time being as your daughter are just too short for me, I will carry the memory in my heart forever. I just realize we rarely take a family photo together, and I found this at brother's place that day. Those were the days.. Pa, ma, I love you and hope we can meet again one day.
