Roast meat, roast duck and char siew. The duck was the best albeit salty. Overall although okay, this is overpriced by Malaysia standards.
Both were excellent today. Siobak was crispy, tender and some pieces had a lovely roasted aroma
The char siew tho, you can tell there's 2 distinct types going on. The centre strip that's darker is almost melt in your mouth and mainly fats. The right strip is more caramelly
To be honest, today's day trip was because I missed good shaola, particularly from you kee. Why is it so damn hard to find good shaola in Singapore??
Also, the KSL branch is a pain to get a cab from at night because a lot of fellow Singaporeans come.
Siobak sucks today. Skin still crispy but otherwise nothing good
Charsiew was still insane. Still the best I've had, for this style. In fact for any orthodox style
Their char siew is so intense we felt like 100g for 3 pax was quite sufficient, cos you are going to savour every piece. However next time I come I rlly want to just get 200g for myself and just die of diabetes+high cholesterol HAHA
Char Siew & Siu Yok Noodles (RM11.20)
Noodles go really well with the gravy at the bottom, roast duck is flavorful and has a good balance of meat and fat.
A good place to eat if you crave soup and a good bowl of noodles.

Served piping hot and crispy, tofu is soft on the inside and paired super well with the flavourful minced meat.
Probably my favouritest place to dine at in KSL, the soup here is really, really flavourful. I managed to finish the whole pot by myself! 😬 The soup is boiled in an urn under constant charcoal fire for hours on end and is fetched by staff from deep within the urn when one is ordered. It is filled with herbs and meat, definitely value for money!
I like that the noodles here goes really well with the gravy at the bottom. The siu yok is a little too fatty for my liking but decent nonetheless. The XO roast duck however, is flavourful and retains the correct balance of meat and fat. A really good place to eat at if you crave soup and a good bowl of noodles ◡̈
Consists of char siew, sio bak and roasted duck. Roasted duck was the soft skin kind and so was more forgettable but the other two are absolutely indelible.
Char siew was extremely well charred and smoky, to the point that it was slightly hard. But it's impossible not to love as the more u chew the more juices and flavours burst out, filling your mouth with a sensual smoky sweetness
Sio bak is the best I've had. Skin was consummately crispy, sort of like an airy cracker but still retaining some bite. Even though we somehow got 90% fats, it was so flavourful and didn't come across as greasy at all.
Also their homemade chili with quite a punch definitely helped us stuff piece after piece of divine bovine into our mouths
Despite it being a 4pax portion 3 of us didn't find it enough simply because it's so good it's hard to stop.
If you are at KSL City Mall, you might spot two giant urns that are hard to miss. People are queuing to get their lunch fix at this restaurant. I like 3 of the dishes that I ate.
The tonic soup is gentle on the palette. There are hints of herbs and ingredients like dang gui, dang shen, red dates and pork ribs that is simmered for hours to give it flavour. It's also nourishing for the body. (RM 18.80)
The roast meat platter consists of classics like roast duck, siew yoke and char siew. The last time I had good char siew was many years ago in Hong Kong and the char siew here is definitely good stuff. Charred and filled with a smokey flavour, it comes with a really dark gooey sauce. It's strong in flavour yet not too sweet. The sio bak and roast duck are not very memorable but decent. (RM 34.80)
The noodles are springy and savoury. The shallot oil really helps to bring out the flavour and its very well-balanced. (RM 3.50)
Overall, quite shiok.
Juicy roasted pork and salted chicken with noodles. Glazed with sesame oil and sauce, every strand of noodles is bursting with flavour.
A combination of duck, roast pork and char siew. The star of this plate was the char siew - sauce caramelised, meat was juicy, right proportion of fats to meat. #Burpple #foodforjohor #hungrycommunity
Despite not feeling very hungry, we still wipe the plates clean with their famous XO Roasted Duck, Sio Bak and their very very juicy and sweet charsiew!
The XO Duck is tender, juicy and feels like a celebration in the mouth. Definitely bagus and sedap nia! All in all only, RM$29.90

Perhaps we should have ordered like half a roasted duck rather than the mixed meat platter. Noodles in the black sauce tasted good and springy. 2 noodles, 1 rice, 1 steamed fish head, 1 roasted meat platter and 1 pot of soup: All for RM 104 to feed 4 adults. Cheap I would say!
The classic combination is roast duck, siew yoke, and char siew. The star of the platter is You Kee’s Crystal Char Siew which is a glistening mound of pork belly slathered in a gooey sauce the color of dark chocolate.

I recently discovered You Kee XO restaurant a few days ago and I ordered their duo combination of roasted duck & char siew noodles. 😍🤤👏🏻👌🏻
It was love at first bite, the perfect meat to fat ratio & their XO roasted duck meat (their signature) was really seclusion as well, I like how the skin was crispy and the meat was still tender and juicy. So sinful but this bowl gave me lyfeeee.
😍😍😍

This restaurant is one of the places I must dine at whenever I make a trip to JB. I simply cannot get enough of the scrumptious Char Siu which is wonderfully caramelised on the outside without being overly burnt. The meat inside is succulent and tender with the right amount of fat. Definitely one of the best Char Siu I have eaten so far! 👍

Was a bit disappointed though. We ordered only the roasted meat platter + the small suckling pig. MYR 68.50 shared among 4 of us. Each pax around
MYR 17.
The roasted meat 👍👍👍 delicious.
