Yik Kee Restaurant (Ara Damansara)

The intention was to check out this new Chinese restaurant that has replaced one of my favourite Hunanese food joints.

The Cantonese style food here is without fanfare, subtle, light and non-greasy. But when called for, they can dish our a mean greasy meal.

A case in point was our caramelised crispy pork belly. It's greasy only because of the lard from the fat. Cooking was completed just as the fat just melted, leaving juicy, lardy crispy pieces of sweet pork.

The Lala in Superior Soup was light in all departments and was up to my taste. The Lala meat was done right, leaving it juicy and not leathery through over-cooking. I thought they stopped the cooking at the right moment.

The Ching Loong Choy was also right in taste but was a tad tough. The wood ears were nice culinary touch offering the extra texture and presentation.

Finally, the Ying Yong Wat Tan (Cantonese) noodles were of acceptable standard given not many shops can do it well enough compared to those in Ipoh.
