Restoran Yik Mun is one of those places that has put Tanjung Malim on the national food map. This restaurant draws huge crowd from across the country, so much so, most travellers who pass Tanjung Malim would make a mandatory pit stop here.

This restaurant is located along the Old Slim Road, just across the Thandayuthapani Temple. The reason that this restaurant is so famous is solely because of their Hainanese Pau's and Hainanese Food. Today, they have become a tourist destination and prices have doubled, if not tripled compared to what they used to be. Nevertheless, this has not deterred their loyal supporters from dining at this place. The above two sheets that you see is all that they offer at this restaurant.
 |
| Iced Hainanese Coffee @ RM 3.50 |
 |
| Iced Asam Boi @ RM 4.50 |
Their Hainanese Coffee and Tea and two top sellers here. As always, the drinks had been consistently good and the flavours have been bold. My rating for these drinks would be 9/10.
 |
| Hainanese Chicken Chop @ RM 17.00 |
When it comes to food, the top sellers here are their Pau variety, Hainanese Chicken Chop and Mee Hailam. The preparation here is quite unique as far as their Hainanese Chicken Chop is concerned. The chicken is deep fried and topped with tomato puree batter along with diced carrots, corn and peas. On the sides, they have a Mantau Bun and some Mashed Potatoes.
 |
| Deep Fried Chicken |
Despite being deep fried, the chicken is still very tender and juicy and marination goes very well with the tomato batter. Slightly on the sweet side, but it still tastes good.
 |
| Mashed Potatoes |
 |
| Mantau Bun |
The Mantau Bun goes amazingly well with the batter and it's like a must have towards the end of the meal. Instead of providing fried potatoes, here they supplement that with Mashed Potatoes. Again, it's quite good and if I were to rate this entire dish, my rating shall be 8/10.
Another good eatery in Tanjung Malim that should not be missed which specialises in Hainanese cuisine would be Restoran Yik Mun. Not only are they famous for their Pau variety, their Hainanese Chicken Chop is another top seller along with their Hainanese Coffee and Homemade Kaya. Definitely a place worth stopping if you're passing this way.
