The curry mee (RM4) was our favourite here - robust, well-spiced soup with prawns, tofu puff and beansprouts.
The Seafood Porridge (RM10.00) is appetizing and quite gentle on my palate.
Operating since 1933, Antong Coffee Mill (安东咖啡厂) is one of the oldest coffee factories in Malaysia.
The Hainanese Restaurant that still up and running for almost a century still serves the great taste and nostalgic flavors of those days. The Hainanese Chicken Chop that serving with wages and the touch of Lee & Perry Sauce in the gravy which made the Significant taste of Hainanese Chicken Chop. Beside Chicken Chop the Hainanese Noodle also gives an old-time flavor.
The fried mee was decent too, but if you only have space for one dish here at Yut Sun, make it the Hainanese chicken chop.
There are several Hainanese specialties on the menu, but the whole fam opted for the signature Hainanese Chicken Chop (RM10), which featured a whole battered chicken fillet, drenched in an onion/pea/mixed vegetable sauce and a side of potato wedges. Everything was excellent, from the flavours which melded together beautifully, to the perfectly cooked, tender chicken fillet with its savoury crust that was almost like a second skin.
We came specially for this dish. Yam and fish in a clay pot. There were chunky pieces of fish inside the yam gravy
Anyway, if you want vegetarian food in Taiping, this is a good option, with plenty of reasons to pick it, and not really anything negative. No time to explore further this visit, so nothing to compare with; probably in future.
