Yong Ho Cafe — Restaurant in Sarawak

​The food is the main draw, and the prices are very reasonable. We ordered the Dried Fried Kuey Teow (RM 6), Wet Fried Kuey Teow (RM 8), Salad Cakoi (RM 3), Original Cakoi (RM 1.50), Cheese Omelette (RM 4.50), and Siew Mai (RM 7 for 5 pcs). The standout dishes were the Salad Cakoi, which features a coleslaw that tastes like KFC’s and a perfectly balanced sweet and savoury minced meat, and the flavorful Cheese Omelette, a Chinese-style pancake with a nice balance of egg and cheese. While the Fried Kuey Teow was noted to be more pan-fried than charred, it was still good. The Siew Mai was standard but enjoyable.

​The service is truly exceptional. The cashier, who I believe is the owner, is incredibly friendly and patient. The staff are all equally welcoming and helpful, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes me feel valued as a customer. The kindness shown, such as accommodating a last-minute drink change, is a testament to their excellent customer care.

​The atmosphere is a typical, bustling kopitiam. It is a clean space with no oily floors or pests. While it is mostly open-air, the sheltered indoor tables were a welcome relief from the sun. The only minor drawback is that a rainy, windy day might lead to some spillage into the dining area.

In conclusion, Kedai Yong Ho offers a very positive dining experience. The exceptional service and flavourful, reasonably priced food make it a great spot for a satisfying meal. Despite its bustling, no-frills atmosphere, it's a place...

I came here a few days ago but it was closed. I managed to catch it open this morning. It is an old shop next to a closed business hotel. The name of the shop indicates it is specialising in Taiwanese breakfast like chakoi and soya drinks. A lot of fried Taiwanese sacks like onion fried biscuit, omelette fried biscuits and so on. The shop makes a tweet to add Kaya as an option to suit local taste. Also sells local dishes like kolo mee, laksa Sarawak and Foochow red winde mee suah. Plenty of choices. Although I found the taste normal, expect this shop to be crowded daily. It is self service. Find a table and queue up for your turn to order and pay with the table numbers. Since it is crowded you can expect to have patience to wait as my omelette biscuits took 30 minutes to arrive at my table. Will come back again to try the others. Prices are very reasonable. Parking is not easy as it is along a busy main road with a lot of traffic. Came back with family members the next day. Go for the red wine noodles. Ok but a bit bland. Guess no msg. It came with 2 drum sticks. The onion pancake fare better. Soya drink came kosong. There is a bottle of sugar on every table. You add the amount you prefer. The siew...

This place is quite tucked away in a little niche at the old Park Hotel site. It's a nice place to just sit and sip 'kopi' and dunk your 'yew char kueh' (fried dough) and watch the hustle of bustle is Miri old town. (Or enjoy their soy milk, which seemed popular, but by the time I visited (9am) it was already sold out.) The kolok mee is nice. It retained the old/authentic kolok mee taste from of old, in my opinion. (9.5 or 9.7/10 - because still something is missing, for me. Maybe it's me - can't find the nostalgia - and nothing with the quality of the dish.) The yew char kueh is good. The skin, or exterior, was crispy enough, and not filling, or inner part, doughy or chewy. It's good to see they are still busy enough, being the only shop still operating at an otherwise 'ghost town' of the area.👍🏼

April 2025: taken over by new owner. Kolok mee still retained its flavour. But the 'yew char kueh' dropped 4 points - not so fragrant anymore, skin not as crispy and a bit more...
