One of the coffee shops serving hungry passers-by was Yik Mun. Opened in 1926, they are known for their paus (steamed buns with fillings).<\/p>\n<p>The chicken chop is uniquely Hainanese-Malaysian and Yik Mun being of Hainanese heritage serves a mean version (photographed here). Usually, it is a piece of chicken thigh drenched in a gravy made of Worcestershire Sauce, green peas, chopped mushrooms and onions, served with fries. Yik Mun&#8217;s version comes with canned green peas, mashed potato, coleslaw and a piece of mini mantou (Chinese bread). All for RM 14.<\/p>\n<p>The waitress also recommended their signature Roti Kahwin (didn&#8217;t try), signature Mee Hailam (tasted ordinary), Chicken Pau (tasted bad) and Kopi O (tasted horrible). I recommend sticking to the chicken chop which was excellent. There are a couple of things that may be disturbing to some. The shop has sharks fin soup on the menu and it played Michael Learns To Rock continuously.<\/p>\n<p>Yik Mun is halal.\u00a0 It is now in a newer location; a maroon building at the junction to the old town and Proton City.<\/p>\n<p>Olympus OM-D, ISO 2000, f5, 1\/60 sec.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/yik_mun_chicken_chop.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6390\" title=\"Yik Mun's Chicken Chop\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/yik_mun_chicken_chop.jpg\" alt=\"Yik Mun's Chicken Chop\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/yik_mun_chicken_chop.jpg 1080w, http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/yik_mun_chicken_chop-113x113.jpg 113w, http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/yik_mun_chicken_chop-169x169.jpg 169w, http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/yik_mun_chicken_chop-450x450.jpg 450w, http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/yik_mun_chicken_chop-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tanjung Malim used to be a favourite stopover on the busy trunk road linking the north and south&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/yik-muns-chicken-chop\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1339,563,519,9],"tags":[1416,189,1417,114,511,782,1414,1415],"class_list":["post-6389","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-food-2","category-instagram","category-omd","category-photography","tag-chicken-chop","tag-dining","tag-local-food","tag-olympus","tag-om-d","tag-perak","tag-tanjung-malaim","tag-yik-mun"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6389","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6389"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6389\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6399,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6389\/revisions\/6399"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6389"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6389"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6389"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
