Restoran Yat Mun Sin,
15, jalan 16/155C, Bandar Bukit Jalil,
57000 Kuala Lumpur


This place is a hidden gem! run by a hainanese family and the cook is one really versatile chap! I came across this place when I was running a car workshop just behind this shop. Missing singapore food, i went there to order a fried beef hor fun, and described how it was cooked at Geylang Lorong 9. Not expecting much, I waited for my food to arrive. To my surprise, it was a 98% copy of what i would get at Geylang, and I've been coming back here ever since. There is only one cook, so if it gets crowded there, be prepared to wait, but trust me, the food there is well worth it.



Steamed Salted Chicken

Not as salty as most of the other places that serves this dish, which is just as well because I find the other places too salty anyway, you can also get a slight hint of the chinese herbs and ginger used to make this dish. The kampung chicken used is not too tough to the bite, making this dish one of the better ones that I've ever had.


Butter Prawns



When it comes to prawns, I'm a real fussy eater. My wife usually gets all the prawns from whatever dish it's served with as I seldom, if ever, eat any prawns that's not up to my expectations when freshness is concerned. This place, however, serves the freshest prawns available. I know, because the owner of the shop buys the prawns from the same place as I do! The prawns were huge, fried to perfection and the shell was so crispy that you could eat it all. The meat was still juicy, almost like as if it was steamed and the buttery bits were also well done, with a hint of curry leaves lingering in the background. A really good dish!


Pai Kuat Wong


This, in my opinion, is the best Pai Kuat Wong I've ever tasted in this country! I've ordered this dish almost every chinese restaurant i go to, but none of them comes close to this! The pork was nice and tender, and the sweet and tangy sauce that coats every bit of it takes this dish to another level! The plate was so clean after we finished this dish that you'd be thinking if there was ever anything on the plate just a few minutes ago! That was how good this dish was! Excellent stuff!



Spicy and Sour Fish


I once had a craving for Singapore style chili crabs, but unfortunately, this place does not have the mud crabs to go with it, so I told him to substitute the crab with a tilapia and BAM!, I've been ordering this dish ever since! The fish is deep fried to perfection, and the sauce, oh, that sauce! It SO reminds me of a good chili crab in Singapore! I've never ordered this fish here in any other way, only this! Really excellent stuff!

We came here because it was my mother-in-law's birthday, and according to tradition, we ordered a noodle dish, which was pretty good too. The vegetable dish was Kankong fried with sambal balchan, which was not too bad too. Overall, we had two tables of 7 and 8 people each, and the bill came to RM468.00 including drinks and rice, quite good value for money too!
