We chose Yau Kee Restaurant because it is located at Kampar, Perak. This restaurant is accessible for every student in kampar whether you possess a car, a motorcycle or even a bicycle. We say this because our group have try walking to Yau Kee Restaurant from Westlake and it only takes us around 35 minutes. Yau Kee Restaurant was established since 1983 in Kampar, Perak.
It was located in Kampar old town which was once the center for commerce in Kampar before Utar kampar is built. Yau Kee Restaurant was situated at the corner along Jalan Idris which is the same row as their rival restaurant selling chicken bun- Kam Ling Restaurant. You can easily spot Yau Kee Restaurant on the way back to your hostel from the only cinema in Kampar, LFS cinema. The reason we choose Yau Kee Restaurant is because the chicken bread in Yau Kee taste better when compare with their rival Kam Ling Restaurant.

Yau Kee restaurant is a favorite stop for many travelers who want to try the famous chicken wrapped with bread since it is a very famous food in Kampar. This restaurant also serves the typical Chinese dishes so tourist also get to fill their stomach with rice or noodle as a supplement to the chicken bun. The operating hour is opened from 7 am until 10 pm, we can come here to enjoy this specialty anytime, from breakfast to dinner.
Yau Kee restaurant has extended into two shop lots, one is with air-conditional and another is without air-conditional. The differences for this two shop lots is that one allow smoking while the other (air-conditioned) disallow smoking to ensure customer satisfaction. Hence, the ambiance is cozy as we dine in the shop with air-conditional and is not affected by cigarette smoke since all of us are non-smoker and dislike the smell of smoke. Besides that, their service is good as they serve Chinese tea for us as soon as we enter and deliver their menu to us to browse through. The staffs there are also quite friendly as they recommend us some food when realize we have difficulty making choices from the vast variety of food listed on the menu. It is a non-halal restaurant in town. This restaurant also takes reservation and welcome walk in customers.
Here is our group photo while we are having dinner in Yau Kee Restaurant. The radiant smile of the two girls show how satisfied they are with the food provided here!
After having a brief understanding about the restaurant, we are going to introduce the prominent food in town which is Chicken Bread (CB). Chicken Bread is highly recommended because of it uniqueness and one can only find it in Kampar, Perak. For those who are into food hunt, i believe this is a chance that appear once in a blue moon for them to update their social webpage such as facebook, instagram or even blog to display proudly what they had tried in Kampar which is actually a very small town not know to those from urban areas.
Traditionally, they only serve curry chicken bread, but to suit the taste of the local Chinese and tourist, they expand their product and introduce the herbal chicken bread. The chicken bread offered here comes in many sizes to suit the number of customers that visit the stall. For a big group of customer they can choose to order the bigger sized chicken bread while for us who come in a group of 5, we only ordered the small size which we think is sufficient. For those who cannot take spicy food, they can choose herbal chicken bread which taste equally good.
We ordered the curry chicken bread since we all like to eat curry. The chicken cooked with curry is wrapped inside a deliciously baked bread as shown in the picture above. The bread is so awesome and delicious, no wonder people say we must not miss it when we are around Kampar.
The bread is extraordinary crispy when we eat it raw since it was baked perfectly until golden brown and it look very shiny with some butter on its surface. Most of the customer will eat the bread with some curry, well this is a perfect combination as the bread absorb the curry well and become soft inside while the skin still maintain crispy. Moreover, the curry is not spicy as expected but it is still delectable as the amount of herbs mixed with chilly is done by 33 years of improving. Therefore, for those who have a younger brother or with kids, this curry chicken bread is actually suitable for everyone. Don't be restricted by kids and missed the opportunity to enjoy this scrumptious delicacy.
The chicken is wrapped in the bread and it is ready to be eaten after it is slice opened. The best thing about chicken bread is that there is no right way of eating it. The customers can either eat the bread and chicken separately or eat them together according to their preference. As it is one of the highly recommended local delicacies, our group though that it is a good idea to recommend it on our blog to help more people seeking for information about chicken bread or even Yao Kee Restaurant.
When the chicken bread is served, the staff will help us to slice open the chicken bread for us. When the staff do so, a savoury aroma of curry greet us that we could barely contain our hunger.
The video below shows how the staff slice open the chicken bread.
Now, the chicken bread is ready to be eat, the attractive red colour of the curry together with the plesant smell of curry assailling our nostrils is so tempting that we couldn't hold back anymore.
The video below show one of our group member's recommending the curry chicken bread.
Besides that, we also ordered 'Yau Kee Signature Noodle'. It is one of the popular dish in the restaurant. This noodle is full of ingredients such as fresh prawns, bean sprouts, eggs, onions and chicken slices. Judging by the look, the noodle looks alike with 'Wan Tan Mee' but it is actually more chewier and tasty as it is fried with special gravy sauce that had dissolved into the noodle. The taste is so scrumptious that it makes your mouth water when recall about it. Therefore, it is also a "must try" dishes provide to you by Yao Kee Restaurant.
Refer to the picture below to see how this 'Yau Kee Signature Noodle' looks like.
The video below shows the moment when we were savouring the signature noodles (Warning: Don't drool after watching the video).
