FOODlog #192: Wantan Mee @ Yu Lek

A friend of mine has been wanting to take me, my brother and some friends out for a meal for some time now. He wanted to treat us to a meal to thank us for the times he was in financial difficulty and us being there with him to help him out and support him in those difficult times.

He has gotten a job now and is having a better financial situation now so he wanted to say thank you by treating us to a meal.

He brought us for breakfast at this place that serves really good wantan noodles and char siew (sweet barbecue pork) that is well known in Kuala Lumpur area. Some say its the best wantan noodles in KL.

It's known also for their generous portion and that the place normally has a queue waiting to get seated in their restaurant. Knowing that, we went early and queued at the place before it opened.

We were one of the first customers there and manage to get a comfortable seating where the 9 of us had breakfast together.

We ordered their medium portion and it was super huge. They have a large option as well which I can't imagine how huge a serving it is considering even their medium portion is so large. The char siew portion was very generous as well and had a very strong smokey barbecue flavor to it. It was a very delicious plate of noodles and pork.

We also ordered a plate of siew yuk which is roasted pork belly. It was also delicious and what you expect siew yuk to taste like.0

My favorite was the side serving of fried pork dumplings which were Crispy on the outside and super flavorful on the inside with their minced pork mix. It was moist and juicy and such a flavorful bite each time you took from this fried dumplings.

Will definitely go again and recommend to friends as well. Really appreciate my friend who remembers us and treated us to a lovely breakfast meal.
