Flame & Flavor: YK Express Brings Roasted Meat Excellence to Eco Botanic

YK Express (You Kee XO) at Eco Botanic is part of a well-known Johor chain famous for its roasted meats and comforting herbal soups. This outlet delivers consistent quality, drawing in both locals and visitors with its signature flavors. The char siu (caramelised BBQ pork) is tender and glistening, with a perfect balance of sweet and savory. Their XO roasted duck is equally impressive—juicy, rich, and deeply seasoned. Pair it with their slow-simmered herbal soup, served traditionally from large clay urns, for a comforting meal that hits all the right notes. Other highlights include the Volcano Tofu, which arrives bubbling hot, and hearty rice or noodle sets starting from RM10. Expect quick service and a casual dining setting that stays true to the chain’s reputation. While prices are slightly higher than typical hawker stalls, the quality and portion sizes make it worthwhile. YK Express is a great spot to enjoy traditional roasted meat dishes done right, without heading into the Johor city center. #summervacay #malaysia #malaysiatrip #johorbahru #johor #localfood
