Hokkien mee maestro still going strong

The fried mee hoon with three types of pork meat (left) and loh mee are also available at the stall.

HOKKIEN mee, a savoury dish of thick egg noodles fried with dark soya sauce, is a popular hawker fare in Malaysia.

While there are many stalls selling this local street food, the fragrant and appetising version available at Jalan Tapah, Klang, is prepared by 78-year-old Kong Kai Lup, who has been firing up the wok for more than 50 years.
