Yik Mun - Famous pao in Tanjung Malim

Last Tuesday, I made a trip to Tanjung Malim for a site visit at a customer’s new office. The customer wanted to expand their business and has chosen Tanjung Malim as one of their new branch location.

The appointment was set for 10:30 AM, but I planned to head out early, with the aim to arrive in Tanjung Malim by 9:30 AM or even earlier. The drive from my house to Tanjung Malim typically takes about an hour and a half, so I left home at 7:30 AM to give myself enough buffer time.

Before hitting the highway, I made a quick stop at a nearby petrol station to fill up my scooter's fuel tank. Once that was sorted, I resumed my journey. Thankfully, the weather was bright and pleasant. I was afraid it would be raining since it is the rainy season now. With no rain, the ride is even more enjoyable.

I arrived in Tanjung Malim exactly at 9:10 AM. I planned this early arrival with one thing in mind: to get breakfast at the famous Yik Mun restaurant. For the bikers community, Yik Mun is well-known as one of the bikers' pit stops and also for their hot, freshly steamed pao. The last time I visited the place was ten years ago.

To my surprise, Yik Mun hadn’t changed much at all. The decoration and ambience looked just as I remembered. It is indeed a nostalgic throwback.

For breakfast, I ordered two pao and a set of salted egg dim sum. For the pao, I chose one with chicken curry filling and the other with beef curry. The beef pao turned out to be delicious. But, I was slightly disappointed with the chicken curry pao, which didn’t quite match the taste of the beef one.

After getting my breakfast, I continue my journey to the customer's place that is only 10 minutes away from Yik Mun

What flavors do you have there? In my country, we have some chicken, beef, and pork. It is best eaten with a cup of coffee or a glass of soda. It's a famous snack in my country and we call it siopao.
