Gaya Street eatery wins recognition among Asia’s top 50
Kota Kinabalu: Kedai Kopi Yee Fung located in Gaya Street and known for its Laksa, Claypot Rice and beef noodles among locals and tourists alike has won recognition as among Asia’s 50 best restaurants.

 Its operator Cheng Chew Wang (pic) said they have been running the business the past 37 years.

 Chew, a Johorean who came to Sabah in 1981, first worked at a chicken rice shop.

 Three years later, he started selling laksa which was originally a Sarawakian recipe and enhanced it with his own mixture of additional spices and ingredients.

 The award was in the “Essence of Asia” category which covers establishments in 49 cities across 20 countries. The list is based on recommendations by chefs of Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2020 and 2021, 50 Best Academy Chairs and trusted gourmands. Yee Fung Coffeeshop was one of the four Malaysian eateries featured in “Essence of Asia”. The others were  Kuala Lumpur’s Bijan Restaurant, Penang’s Siam Road Char Koay Teow and Ipoh’s Artisan Handmade Bread.
