Well, Seremban Beef Noodles of course. Touted by many as one of the best beef noodles in the country.

Seremban Beef Noodles had very much been a part of Seremban local heritage.

It all started in the 1930’s when Mr. Poon Yee from Hainan Island’s Dai Dong Po village in China, set foot in Seremban. He brought with him a unique recipe for preparing beef noodles which incorporates scrumptious ingredients such as tender beef slices, beef jerky, beef tripe, pickle cabbage, sesame, peanuts and green onions and most importantly, its delicious thick beef gravy.

He started selling the beef noodles in the old Seremban Market ( which had been demolished ) and the response what phenomenal. The locals liked the taste of the beef noodles and before long, his beef noodles were widely known in Seremban.

Mr. Poon Yee named his stall Yee Kee, which roughly translates to “ Yee’s Restaurant “.
Seremban residents fondness for beef noodles remains strong and the name “ Yee Kee “ grew synonymous to beef noodles. Yee Kee Beef Noodles became a landmark of Seremban.

After the war, the secret to preparing the beef noodles was passed on to his daughter. She opened a restaurant in Temiang over 30 years ago to a warm reception by the locals. 

Now, Yee Kee is into its 3rd generation. With modernization and our desire to better serve loyal customers, Yee Kee has evolved into a new conceptual restaurant with better interior for better comfort.
