近期特别喜爱陈旧的东西,刮起怀旧风,怀旧风甚至蔓延到歌曲,歌手,食物,建筑物等,残啦,难到这就是老化的现象??
面对现在生活的快节奏和文艺作品的快餐化,我们在适应和接受之余,对自己儿时,以及父辈祖辈口中不太遥远的过去,对这段既熟悉又陌生,既清晰又朦胧的时光,不免产生一种说不清道不明的向往,追忆,惆怅和憧憬。
怀旧作品的流行也许很快会趋于沉静,但在这种本能的驱使下,这种怀旧的感觉,终会在今后的岁月里,在五花八门的文艺作品中,以这样或那样的方式,自觉不自觉,一次又一次地流露出来。
一句话,怀旧是永恒的,但怀旧的内涵是善变的。
在此带给大家父辈祖辈的咖啡店,食物保持着原有的味道,赞!依然范特西啊喂!
(to be fair, i will introduce in english...nahX3, don't complain anymore!)
Yut Kee Restaurant,
(Located behind Sheraton Imperial Hotel, Jalan Dang Wangi, corner shop)
Yut Kee is a traditional kopitiam situated in old KL that's a legendary institution for Hainanese style western or local fare. Til this day, the Hainanese are still well known for their versatile cooking prowess, most notably chicken rice, noodles and Malaysianised Western food.
First to arrive was the soft-boiled eggs. From the texture and the way it moves on the saucer, it's super fresh and top quality. With a dash of pepper and soy sauce, simply slurp it from the saucer til it's all gone. It slides down your throat and sits warmly in my tummy. Wonderful comfort food this!
Next up was the roti babi. Roti babi is basically fried bread in egg batter that's filled with meat stuffing consisting of fried minced pork, onions, carrots, crab meat and spices. Eat it with a dash of Worcestershire sauce and you're in crispy seventh heaven!
Fancy Hainanese Chicken Chop. Chicken fillet fried in a batter with a mix salad of onions, peas and potatoes. Top that off with a savoury Worcestershire based sauce. It really complements the dish so well.
Looking around the shop, you feel like you're in a bygone era.
