Review: Lok Yoon, Cyberjaya

This is just one of those places that you can take your foreign visitors/guests to for some authentic Chinese food without having to swat flies or step on muddy grounds in this part of town. Obviously, prices aren't cheap but it's not that expensive either.

Old cucumber soup with chicken feet.
Did you know that chicken feet is packed with collagen which is good for your skin? Still, that isn't enough to make me want to gorge on them in vain hopes of restoring my youth/beauty. Not sure if they exist in the first place.

However, myth or not, this soup is good enough to order for days when you miss your mother's home cooked soup as it's cooked long enough to have enough flavors to remind you of home.

Sweet roast pork and plain roast pork rice.
When this place first opened, we were just going crazy over their roast meat selection. There are quite a few combinations since they have both pork and  chicken, both in different styles. This combination is a decent one but don't expect their pork to be ultra crunchy or roasted till caramel perfection. The oily rice complements the meat well so it does make for a decent meal.

Braised vegetables and tofu rice.
After awhile, you'd tried out all the possible roast meat combination and would venture beyond the first few pages of their menu to find gems such as this. Yet another homely dish, the flavors are simple but therein lies its attraction. Uncomplicated flavors.

Cantonese style yee mee.
Thankfully, Lok Yoon has managed to keep up its food quality though I highly suspect it has something to do with Zhia Kitchen for giving it a much deserved competition.
