Kedai Makan Yean Kee (元记牛肉濑粉) serves their traditional beef noodles in a spot outside the town centre of Kluang, in residential Taman Mumi, but not far away from Kluang Mall.
For over 70 years, Yean Kee has been making its own lai fun (濑粉) from rice. The white rice noodle is also known as Hailam noodle (海南粉), which is the same noodle used in Penang's famous asam laksa.
Apart from their homemade rice noodle, beef is also Yean Kee's specialty. One of the signature dishes is beef noodle and recommended to go for dry-style with their lai fun. Another signature dish is rendang beef and recommended to pair with rice. There are beef ball noodle, fishball noodle and other soups and side dishes too.
Yean Kee's dry-style Signature Beef Noodle (招牌牛肉濑粉) looks appetising and delicious on first impression. Their savoury-sweet dark sauce is covered by the thick, white lai fun, added with tender beef, tripes, tendons and sliced meat and topped with peanuts, pickled vegetable, spring onions, sesame seeds and a lime for refreshing flavours. The thick rice noodle is soft and with springy texture. This beef noodle is truly delicious.
The signature beef noodle includes all beefy ingredients, variants of the beef noodle can be created by opting for desired ingredients. This beef noodle has just beef brisket and tripes.
The Signature Rendang Beef (招牌仁当牛肉) with rice is probably the best way to appreciate the great flavours of the rendang beef. The beef is very tender and the rendang gravy, with lots of minced spices, is tasty and flavourful. It is of adequate spiciness, not too spicy. No wonder this is another signature dish of Yean Kee. Pair this with a stir-fried vegetable dish to complete the meal.
A specialty dish of Yean Kee is their claypot bovine offal soup (砂煲牛杂汤). However, advance order of at least a day is required.
Despite being located outside Kluang's town centre, Yean Kee's beef noodle and rendang beef are nice dishes to go for.
