Last Saturday morning, we had our dim sum breakfast in Sungai Petani with father-in-law. Father-in-law gave us a treat at Koek Kee dim sum restaurant. Koek Kee dim sum has been there since long long time ago. It's a "lao zi hao" (老字号) in Sungai Petani. After so many years, the residents still go back to this restaurant. I overheard a conversation between a group of uncle, they prefer the dim sum here because the the dim sum is delicious and the price is reasonable.
This dim sum restaurant is located at Jalan Dewa. The people here call this area as "2nd Street" (二街). In the morning, the street is bustling with activity. It's like a street market. You can see the old style butcher shop, the famous roasted pork shop and few coffee shops around.
An assortment of dim sum that we had on that morning.
Clock wise: Siew Mai with crab Meat, Har Gao, Loh Mai Kai and Chinese chives kuih. Among all these, the Chinese chives kuih was the one which caught my attention. This is not the ordinary "Koo Chai kuih", it's an modified and improved version of chives kuih. It is delectable, tastier than the normal "Koo Chai kuih". It has the aromatic smell of garlic and dried shrimps. It tastes sweet.
Clock wise: Har Gao, Siew Mai, Fried Har Gao, Har Mai, Yam Kuih. The yam kuih looks exactly like "chai kuih" just that it has yam as filling. The skin is smooth and springy.
Overall, the meal cost for RM24 including a pot of tea for 3.
Address: 6 Jalan Dewa, 08000 Sungai Petani, Kedah, Malaysia.
