Lee Kitchen — Restaurant in Perak

Moved from the kopitiam just across the road named Xin Di Fang, now renamed Lee's Kitchen because of their famous desserts. This bigger new kopitiam features a larger area but oddly designed and situated at a busy foodie area surrounded by lots of other eateries, so parking can be a big problem.

I cannot read chinese so i cannot name the stall that i had my noodle dish. I actually do not even know what it is called as i ordered by pointing at a picture that was on display. I was a little hesitant but the newspaper cutouts pasted on the stall window always did the trick 😂

The food was epic. Absolutely delicious. The flavours seemed familiar, almost nostalgic. I have tried this before but must have been atleast 20 years ago. Now i am curious to try all their other dishes, perhaps it'll take me back on another short trip to the past. Highly recommend that you try it yourself, it is RM 8 which some might think is expensive. I say it was...
