YAT LAI COFFEE SHOP

KUALA KANGSAR: Yat Lai Coffeeshop is one of my favourite place for food when in Kuala Kangsar.

The classic Hainanese coffee shop showcased antique marble tables, wooden chairs, old photographs of flood and a price list on the wall.

It is 'packed' with customers on lunch time.

I usually reach there before 1pm to make my order before the crowd.

The coffee shop is a well known 'meeting place' for college students, business people and families, here. 

HAINANESE BEEF STEAK

 

I travel here – just for it's delicious Hainanese Beef Steak and Chicken Chop which is priced slightly expensive than offered else where.

It's fried Beef Steak is topped with Hainanese sauce has a smaller portion compared to its deep fried Chicken Chop similar to Oriental style but without tomato paste.

Another worth ordering dishes are the fried rice, mee or bee hoon which are common dishes meant for the locals.

Highlight - signature pau (bun) which comes with beef, chicken, kaya and red bean flavours.

The pau is one of the favourites of the Royalties!!

It is advisable to do a pre-booking of the pau, which are produced by the bosses (a pair of twins) themselves, in limited numbers per day.

The coffee shop is located at 51, Jalan Kuala Kangsar, Perak.

It is open from 1 pm – 3pm (the pau are ready after 2.30pm).
