Restoran Yat Yat Seng — Restaurant in Perak

If you want to enjoy a plate of delicious chicken rice and you're in the vicinity, this place is worth considering, despite it not being the best chicken rice shop I've ever visited.

I paid no more than RM7 for a lunch set. Their chicken rice is not too dry and their sauce really has flavour to it that goes well with their chicken. That makes this place one of the cheapest and most valuable place in town to fill your tummy with chicken rice.

This shop opens only in the afternoon and parking can be an issue during lunch hours. Therefore, plan in advance to avoid frustration. I tend to come here before 12pm.

People usually come here for the other stall, which sells...

I’ve been here a few times since Old Katong group took over the previous chicken rice vendor. Before I say anything about the taste, I wanna point out that I am still amazed by the portion of meat served and all this for RM8.50. I’ve had chicken rice elsewhere and some charge more yet their portion makes my heart and stomach cry…

Anyway, the braised chicken was a bit too tender for my liking. I like it a little bit firmer. Still good and satisfies my chicken rice craving today. Their chilli sauce is just right and flavourful. Not too spicy.
