Occupying the same art deco pavilion for more than six decades, Sek Yuen is a Pudu institution. Some of the aged chefs toiling in the wood-fired kitchen have served three generations the same old-school Cantonese dishes. The kau yoke (pork belly), village chicken and crispy-skin roast duck are all classics. A new annexe at number 315 is air conditioned.
