Best Egg in town...

If you're ever a connoisseur of egg dishes and happen to be in town (Raub), you must try this omelette dish called locally in cantonese dialect "Fu Yung Tan", which incidently means "Egg Fu Yung" or better still, Seremban Egg. How the dish got its named shared with a town is one story but I remember having read somewhere that this dish IS a real local Malaysian invention and a gift to the culinary world.
What I love best about this modest but extremely tasty dish is the perfect mix of the sweetness from the angled loofah, barbecued pork, onions and the eggs which is perfectly seared on the outside but almost soft and liquid on the inside but at the same time broken like a perfect scrambled egg. This particular dish is my all time favorite and if you want to try it, go to the local wet market. At the back of the market, there's a hawker food court. Look for the stall with the signboard marked "Restoran Yuen Kee". As for the dish and voila - enjoy yourself the super fast cooking. One caution though, the state of cleanliness at this place is debatable but like all great hawker food - cleanliness is never on the menu!
Yuen Kee was once a full-fledged restaurant at the same spot but about 15 years ago, urban development forced the restaurant to become the miserable stall it is today. But hey, the egg is still one heck of an egg Fu Yung! Vive Yuen Kee!

  1. I can taste it. Sad to hear about Yuen Kee. Altho a bit surprised at the same time that it is even still around.

  2. I'm back all the weekends unless work or appointments hold me back. Yuen Kee AND the poor POH KEE noodle shop, not to mention Lok Sum all suffered the same fate
