I used to have lunch at a chicken rice restaurant in Sunway Pyramid years ago. I can’t remember the name of the restaurant, only that they had some seriously delicious char siew (barbecued pork) and siew yoke (roast pork) dishes.

Strangely I haven’t been able to find that restaurant until a couple of weeks back. Well, this time I was determined to find it because I’ve been craving their roast pork noodles for such a long time . So I dragged my kids from floor to floor looking for familiar stores that would lead me to this place.

At this point, it should be noted that I’m not the sort of person who’d go out of my way to track down good food, no matter how highly recommended. But this restaurant has left such yummy memories with me that I just had to find it!!!

And I did. It’s on the ground floor near the skating rink. It’s called Yip’s Kitchen now with an upgraded look and even a guitar-playing waiter singing out front to entertain and tempt shoppers to step inside.

If there was any doubt in my mind about whether this was the right restaurant, the siew yoke noodles confirmed it for me! Its crispy, crackling skin is all too familiar and brought back a rush of lunchtime memories. Yes, it’s still as yummy as I remember it.

My younger daughter had the char siew rice. Still good.

My older daughter had the curry chicken rice, which I presume is a new menu item as I don’t remember them having this back then.
