Malacca Food - Yung Lai Siang

If it were not for a friend's recommendation, we would never have found this Malacca food eating place called Yung Lai Siang((永来香茶餐室).

Yung Lai Siang Coffee House

Tucked away in a quiet corner along Jalan Bunga Raya Pantai near the Putra Specialist Hospital in Malaysia Malacca is a small coffeeshop - Yung Lai Siang.  Not one of those bright and modern eating houses, Yung Lai Siang boasts Malacca famous food such as the great tasting curry puffs bursting at the seams with its filling of meat or potato.  Costing RM0.80 (USD0.26) to RM1.00 (USD0.33) each, these Grandpa's curry puffs are value for money.

Curry puffs
Red bean and yam puffs are also available if you wish to have something different.

Curry puffs ready for sale
The signature dish here is the Hokkien prawn noodles.  There are two versions available: the dry Hokkien prawn noodles and the Hokkien prawn noodles soup.

Dry Hokkien prawn noodles
The dry version of the Hokkien  prawn noodles is mixed with soy sauce which I personally did not like. 

The Hokkien prawn noodles makes for a wonderful Malacca breakfast or brunch.

Hokkien prawn noodles soup
The soup version is richly red and can be quite hot and spicy for those who are not used to too much spicy food.  You get prawns, kang kong as well as some strips of crispy deep fried cruellers.


Laksa is also available though we did not try it.  Maybe next time, when we visit the place again.
