Sugar Layered Pau at Restaurant Ye Si (Perak)

  Located beside a busy street in Kg Koh, Perak, this old historical shop is one to go to for when you need a light tea-time snack. Yes, ask any locals there and they'll tell you that this is the place to get the best hot buns (called pau in Mandarin) in town!

  To get to this area, simply follow the Kg Koh signboard. After you pass by ACS school and an overhead bridge, drive straight on until you see Maybank on your left. The restaurant is just next to it. To get a taste of these wonderfully made sugar layered buns, you'l have to come early, and on public holidays, you'll have to book them. The buns are freshly made everyday and made within a limited quantity. I myself had to return to the shop 3times which only then could I get a taste test of it.

Great place for breakfast or tea-time!

Layered goodness!

  As proven by the long queue of locals at the shop, the buns tasted awesome. With rich grinded peanut paste and sweet melted sugar layer upon layer upon layer, this buns packs a whole lot of rich taste. The bun itself isn't too sticky that will get between your teeth, and it tastes sweet and spongy. Certainly worth a try for RM0.90 per piece! Do take note that they start selling this sugar layered buns at 3.30pm, but just to make sure, do come early.

Chopped into pieces of heaven!

  Besides this, the shop also sells with a wide variety of Chinese dishes. I would highly recommend the 'lin fan' (淋饭) . Topped with 'wat tan hor' gravy and mixed with minced meat and prawns, this is a meal to savour. Full of taste and priced at only RM3.70, must try!

  The fried rice there is also of full taste. Could be one of the best fried rice I've tasted in a long time, also at RM3.70.

  Also, do try the fish beehoon, I felt it was quite tasty but it may vary between customers. But just for the info, it's RM7 per serving.

  Overall, this shop holds a wide range of mouh-watering dishes. Do come to explore but as the title suggests, make sure you get your hands on the sugar layered bun, totally awesome for mii!

Just like olden times!
