CNY FEAST @ YOUMIQI SHUN DE CUISINE 有米氣順德料理, OLD KLANG ROAD (OKR)







Known for its expertise in Shunde culinary, Youmiqi (有米氣順德料理) has been grazing the neighbourhood of OKR with various Oriental recipes that is culturally rich as well as pleasing to the tastebuds- especially its convincing traditional desserts that somehow hold my heart dearly.







Currently located along the brisk road of OKR, dine-in guests need not to worry about parking scarcity as valet parking service is offered inhouse by the restaurant itself, allowing its customers to enjoy their feast worry-free and indulging in the camaraderie of their companions.




Not only that, the interior of the restaurant is designed in such a way that closely resembles the very essence of Chinese heritage, with different paintings and assorted ornaments that enliven up the space prosperously. One may also easily attracted by its nicely drawn art that is beautifully curated on the wall at the ground floor. It’s huge so you can’t miss it.







And in conjunction with the coming Chinese New Year, Youmiqi (有米氣順德料理) has come up with several special Lunar menus for you to choose from to best suit your palate and preference during the gathering.

 


Among the festive dishes that greeted us that lovely evening were………………….
  
SALMON YEE SANG
A must-have quintessential dish in every lunar celebration- Salmon Yee Sang it is!
The main celebratory plate consists of various crisp and refreshing ingredients that are freshly prepared from scratch. I particularly intrigued by its idea of using julienned ginger which always terrifies me that they gonna be too spicy for me- but in this case they are not but surprisingly palatably catchy with its crunchiness and juiciness, alongside with the accompanied sweet and sour sauce. Yum!





Some appetizers before the mains ushered out.

HERBAL CHICKEN FEET (MYR 7) & PICKLED CUCUMBER (MYR 6)

 

MASTER CHEF FLAMING PRAWN (MYR 12/100G)
I must say that those prawns are really huge and indeed very fresh! Each bite of the






THE ROASTED STANDING OVATION- CHICKEN (MYR 88 WHOLE)
Unique highlight from the restaurant.

Whole chicken was skillfully roasted in such a way that it still retains its juiciness where the dripping chicken essence is collected in a bowl and meant to be dipped with the meat after sliced. On top of that, the chicken breast remains juicy throughout and by now, you should be able to guess which is my usual favourite part of the poultry, hehe.




YOUMIQI HOTPOT
This seafood-rich broth has always been their signature and a must-have whenever dropping by. Serving piping hot in a bronze, goldish wok, the choice of ingredients are actually flexible and it’s up to you how much seafood or vegetables you would love to have.




Once the choices have been made, then the house flavourful broth would be added on top of the ingredients. After a quick simmer, tada, the dish is ready to be served!
As you have it boiled longer, it tends to taste sweeter and I really enjoy the natural sweetness coming from the veggies and seafood.

 


SWEET AND SOUR PORK RIBS
Unlike the common sweet and sour pork meaty cube cutlet, this recipe here is slightly different whereby it’s actually pork ribs style that has been cut into smaller pieces. So do be extra cautious of the hidden bones and enjoy slowly.


 

SPICY CHILI CRAB
It’s robust in flavor and thankfully, not overly hot to my faint tongue



SALT AND PEPPER WHITE BAIT (MYR 38)
Nice snacks for some light bites


PAN FRIED FUNGUS WITH FISH BASE (MYR 25)
The one we were having was pork base and it’s tastefully convincing. I love how the combined texture is and never thought black fungus could be prepared such way, thumbs up!

 

SPECIAL FINE PANCAKE (MYR 28)
And for the dessert time, everyone seems to really adore this plate for we pretty much help ourselves devouring 2 plates! Haha..


It is miraculously not too sweet that I was dreadful of earlier, but instead brilliantly prepared with semi-soft white sweet paste underneath those flaky crust that’s simply a joy not to be missed and a good ending on a sweet note for the night. It actually reminds me of those local crushed peanut ‘mua chi’ which is my all-time favourite during childhood time- in Penang especially (=

 


For those who are looking for some privacy for their occasion, VIP rooms are also available on the upper floor. Just rang them up earlier to check on the room reservation to secure one for a toothsome evening of dining. So check them out soon for your upcoming lunar feast this ‘oink-some’ year!







Let’s ‘lou sang’ soon!
