Restaurant Koek Kee 國記茶樓
My Papa
always said, he and his father used to have breakfast in Keok Kee Restaurant
when he was young. Imagine, how long this restaurant has been operated. My papa
was born in 1950!
We
reached there about 8.30am. The size of the restaurant is not that big. Can’t
really accommodate the number of customers they have. So, they used their
corridor and their neighbours’ corridor to put the tables and chairs. It was
crowded with people (it was Friday, weekend in SP) and luckily we found
ourselves a place to seat at an old Liquor shop corridor.
Once we
seated comfortably, there came the waitress to take our drink order. We ordered
chrysanthemum tea.
Very soon, their waitress brought
us some bamboo steamer filled with tasty Dim Sum to choose.
The usual Dim Sum we ordered were
Har Kau and Siew Mai. We tried the others too; I remembered the most were the
one with Chinese chives filling and the one with seaweed wrap. Nice~~
Papa mentioned that their pau is
nice. So we ordered Char Siew Pau and Tua Pau. However, the waitress said that
Tua Pau only available after 9.30am. Is ok, we tried the Char Siew Pau first.
Keep the Tua Pau for next trip
Suddenly, came the Tua Pau
(thought that we will never have a chance to taste it) about 9++am.
Like papa said, their famous pau
are all simply divine! A MUST TRY if you
are in SP!
We also
ordered porridge. It tasted SO SO SMOOTH and well balanced taste too!
Their
menu is limited to only Dim Sum. Nothing fancy like hong kong style chee cheong
fun, char kuey kat, ho yip fan, kai keok, deserts etc.
The
price is reasonable. Will certainly go to this restaurant again for yum cho cha!
It is
located at 6 Jalan Dewa, 08000 Sungai Petani, Kedah. This street is also known
as “Jie Kei”, the 2nd Street.
