According to many foodies, this is the oldest Chinese restaurant in Jalan Ipoh. Their Yau Cham Wan Yu (pic) is a must try here. It's crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside and after about 10~15 sitting in it's sauce, it's still crunchy. Ordered their 油浸鯇魚, 鹹魚花腩煲 and 上湯元菜 for 2 persons and it cost us slightly over RM 100 (including 3 rice and 1 pot of Chinese tea). And they give you free dessert too. We get jelly on our visit.
Caution though, their food tend to be on the sweet-ish side.
The name Hup Kee resonates with Jalan Ipoh as one of the oldest tai chow restaurants serving families and friends in the vicinity. Tastemaker Brian recommends their specialty Yao Cham Wan Yu or Deep Fried Freshwater Carp (seasonal prices). The fish is deep fried to achieve the ultimate crispy skin while still maintaining a moist inside, then doused in a mouthwatering, special-recipe soy sauce. Resembling supersized meatballs more than it does fried pork, the unique Sweet and Sour Pork (from RM15) is also a top dish that makes its way to most tables at the restaurant. It's imperative to have these scrumptious dishes with rice and even more so, people to share them with — bring the family!
