Sek Yuen Restaurant @ Pudu

A gem at Pudu, KL. A restaurant that manage to maintain the 50's feel in this city. A restaurant that is a well known among the local folks. A restaurant where we can still see waiters wearing white shirt and black pants, just like what we normally see in 50's cantonese drama.

I saw torn and faded table cloth, but who cares? You are not goin to eat the cloth...

They have 2 shops with similar signboard. 1 with air-cond, 1 not. If you want to feel more nostalgia, probably you can choose to dine at non air-cond area...

There were 8 of us. I have read from bloggers on food recommendation and knew what to ordered before we went there....

Their specialty

Pei Pa Duck

We only ordered half as we had another duck dish later on.

Roasted perfectly, lean meat and i like the crispy skin. Definitely can beat those roasted duck sold outside...

Another specialty

Pat Po Duck a.k.a Eight Treasure Duck

Gotta order this in advance as it requires plenty cooking time...

Treasures in there...

we found ginkgo, mushrooms, roasted meat, lotus seeds and so on.

The duck has been braised to perfection, and all of us gave a thumbs up for the gravy. Very good to pair it with rice.

Kwai Fa Egg

Basically is eggs with sharkfin, and wrapped in lettuce.

This is a very traditional dish, where we normally find in the 4 treasure plate normally served in any wedding in outstation area. I have never encounter such dish in any restaurant in KL though...

It was fragrant with the eggy smell, but i found it lacked of taste, and requested for chili sauce...hehe...

Fatt Poot

Yam Ring

Basically is yam paste fried in a big ring form, and laden with stir-fry items . The yam was really really good. Crispy skin yet was mushy enough, flavourful!

My family members are all fans of this, gotta recommend to them, especially my dad.

Kar Heong vegetables

A medley of wood ear, dry lily bulbs, soohoon, bean curd slices, shredded cabbage etc, fried with nam yue (red color kinds of fermented tofu). The nam yue gave this a very robust flavour, many liked it...

Sea cucumber braised with 猪筋

In my personal opinion, the sea cucumber was a little way too soggy. Perhaps over-braised? Nonetheless, the 猪筋 was "Q" enough....

My ex-ex- colleagues!

It was very nice to see you guys here, bidding farewell to me. Such a long time since we last had our gathering...

My god! 3 kids joined us on that day, like giving those unmarried people like Mie, a little bit of pressure ehhh? Haha!

A place that does not need good food presentation but still manage to capture my heart. Sek Yuen, you are the one (among many :P)

My Farewell (X)

On my last day in office, the witty Natalie wanted to buy me lunch and asked my opinion where to go. I really miss local food so i suggested Yap Hup Kee yong tau foo @ Pudu. I really love theire chee cheong fun!

This time, i chose to have the ccf with curry sauce.

Laden with dried shrimp, it was a goodness in a small bowl...

There were 4 of us, we chose to have fried beancurd sheets, pork balls, bittergourds, tofu and the everly sinful, braised-fried intestines! I really recommend the fried intestines!

Oh well, another reason why i chose to go Pudu is for over 8 dozens of egg tarts from Tong Kee!
I really wanted to buy something for the friends in the Firm before i leave, so i guess a piece of nice egg tart would be perfect!


Silky smooth fillings and flaky crust...
Yum Yum!

I hope you guys enjoyed the egg tart ehh!

Yap Hup Kee Yong Tau Foo @ Pudu

I still remember i was first introduced to this YongTauFoo ("YTF") shop in Pudu many years back when i just joined my present firm. There are many foodies in my firm, especially many years back (oh well many of them have resigned +.+). So it is not a surprise if they are aware of this special shop, tucked in the busy Pudu area...

It is just a simple, small shop, with a squeezed cashier counter.

It was very packed during lunch hour.

The YTFs are well spread in front of the shop, and what you need to do is to pick your choices and selection, and preferably tell them the table number you are sitting. Sometimes they do know where you sit even though you do not tell them so, guess it's because the waiter will check out your table when you walk back to your seat...

The small kitchen just behind the spread where they will re-fry the YTF that you selected before it's being served piping hot to your table

Always a fave of mine - Chrysanthemum tea
Theirs are real good honestly...

Apart from YTF, they are also selling cheecheongfun and "loushuefun"
Our gang love the cheecheongfun the most. It was sprinkled with rightful amount of dried shrimp, with the dark sauce. You may request to change to curry sauce by the way...
Whatever flavour it is, i like it very much...





These are what we ordered

Brinjals, tofus, bittergourds, fishballs, chillis, foochok, okra and so on...

I still find the YTF is not as amazing as those in Ampang, but still it's good.



Our favourite!

Prawn Dumplings (Sui Kow) soup

They will cook this on the spot when you make the order, and the dumpling is very firm with the fillings and a whole big shrimp!

The soup was cooked using preserved vegetable, and we like its tanginess very much!



The attraction that made me wanna come back to this shop.

Oh i miss the suikow!

Frankly, i only heart their cheecheongfun and dumplings soup. The YTF is just a sider order to these 2...hehe...

By the way, they offer steamboat at night, and i think they are using YTF as their steamboat ingredients....
