Yan Chim Kee started business in 1915, under founder Mr. Yan Lung Lap's hand as a street vendor. Started with coconut candies and coconut ice cream, then its products with eggroll, coconut juice and more local snacks. The special recipe Mr. Yan created became so popular for each generation of Chinese to include the candies in Chinese New Year, symbolizing sharing joys with closed ones. The shop is named Yan Chim Kee because his patrons fondly called the fonder 'Ah Chim' in his street vendor days.
