Choy Kee (Chai Kee) Sungkai, Perak

Pork knuckles and Stir Fried Sang Yee fish meat with Spring Onions Yau Mak and Minced Meat Tofu I stopped by this restaurant on one of my trip back to the Northern states. Sungkai is a small town in Perak and Choy Kee is located on the main street in the town itself. To find this restaurant, just take a right turn after the Sungkai Plus toll exit and then turn left before a petrol station into the main street in the town. This is a small no frills family restaurant and it is a favourite pit stop for many travelers on the old trunk road. Choy Kee is famous for its’ Pig Trotters and Sang Yee fish meat (Haruan, Snakehead fish) dish. Apart from these dishes, we also ordered the Minced Meat Tofu and Stir Fried Yau Mak (Romaine lettuce). The pork knuckle looked rather plain but is full of taste and flavour. It has a nice aroma of star anise, not too much but just the right amount to complement the rich tasty pork knuckle. The meat is also very tender and smooth. This dish is garnished with nice crunchy sawi vegetable. The haruan (sang yee) meat is fresh and the natural sweetness of the fish is maintained in this dish by frying it with crunchy spring onions. This Sang Yee dish is simple and nice! We ordered the tofu for the kids. It looks and tastes more like a home cooked tofu dish than a restaurant one. There is nothing to shout about the Yau Mak dish but the yau mak is crunchy and fresh. The total bill for 6 adults and 3 children came up to be RM81.
