All in the family

IT looks like the Hakkas do like to keep businesses within the fold. Like Peng Heong Hakka Paikut Restaurant in Klang which is run by family members, Hakka restaurant chain Ying Ker Lou is also managed by a husband-and-wife team.

Opened since March 2006, the restaurant’s founder and general manager Albert Wee is Huizhou Hakka. His family has been in the food and beverage business for over 30 years, starting out with a stall in a coffeeshop.
