Restoran Haji Yahya (GPS: 4.59434, 101.08242) is a Malay restaurant in Ipoh, Perak. Said to have been established in 1973, it is located on Jalan Datuk Onn Jaafar, at the junction with Tingkat Pasar. The restaurant is very popular with the local Malay community, partly because it offers a huge variety of dishes, taken with rice.
I stumbled upon Restoran Haji Yahya when I was visiting Ipoh on 10 March, 2018. Seeing that it is crowded with lunch time diners, we decided to give it a try. I enjoyed the food, but discovered that it was very expensive by any standard. Even the drinks were expensive (Lemon Madu, for example, is priced at RM4). The dishes are also equally expensive. A piece of chicken went for RM4, and if you choose free-range chicken (ayam kampung), the price per piece was RM8. Although my wife and I ordered just a few items, our bill came to RM29.50.
