Before I share my food experience in Teluk Intan during Chinese New Year, here's a post on
Yik Mun - The Famous Tanjung Malim Pau. This was actually unplanned as dad, the human "GPS", asked me, the driver, to take the
Tanjung Malim exit and take the trunk road instead of exiting at Bidor.

When we were stopping at the traffic light, dad pointed at a corner shop on the right and asked
"Wanna eat pau? Very famous in Tanjung Malim." Obviously the brunch we had in
New Asia Laksa wasn't enough for me and my brother, so we agreed.

It was around 3 plus when we arrived and the shop was quite crowded as people were having their tea time. We ordered their famous
Pau Kari Ayam (Chicken Curry Pau) and
Pau Kacang (Peanut Pau). The paus were fresh and the curry filling was quite tasty! I ordered a can of
Coke to share with my brother as the weather was very hot that day and my parents had their
Kopi 'O' (Black Coffee).

| The famous paus! Pau Kari Ayam @ RM1.70 and Pau Kacang @ RM1.40. |
The bill total came up to
RM11.80. The paus are not cheap judging by the size but this is a place I'll recommend to pay a visit if you're passing by Tanjung Malim.

Here's a brief intro and history of Yik Mun taken from their website (don't play play, sell pau also got website ok! :-P):
Mention Yik Mun Restaurant in Tanjung Malim and will probably tell you that it serves the best Pau, Kaya, Toast, Mee Hainan and Chicken Chop in Perak. The restaurant located at the junction of the north-south trunk road, is always crowded with customers during breakfast and tea time. Kok Jek Ming, the third generation of the Kok family who is running the 83-year old business, said his grandfather started the business in 1926 after closing his coffee shop in Hainan Island, China.
Yik Mun specialties:
- The paus of course!
- Mee Hainan
- Roti Kahwin
- Chicken Chop
- Chicken Curry with Toasted Bread
- Prawn Steak
- Roasted Short Ribs (imported from Australia)

Hartamas Shopping Center (Kuala Lumpur),
Fast Food Shop in Jaya Jusco (One Utama Shopping Center, Petaling Jaya) and the
