How iconic KL restaurant Sek Yuen has adapted over 70 years


Sek Yuen Restaurant's history and awards- Art Chen/ The Star.

It is 11.30am on a Wednesday morning, and although Sek Yuen has just cracked open its shutters, the eatery is already teeming with people.

The crowd is a curious mix of old and young faces – one table is made up entirely of elderly men and women, an assortment of walkers and canes forming a protective moat around them. Other tables are filled with fresh-faced folk, their long-sleeve shirts alluding to hurried work lunches.
