Former cabbie has a shared recipe for success


Keeping busy after retirement: Hussin making yau char kwai at his stall in Kampung Dato Sulaiman Menteri, Johor Baru.

JOHOR BARU: When Hussin Md Tap retired as a taxi driver about four years ago, he did not want to just sit idle at home.

The 70-year-old, who still has a yau char kwai (Chinese crullers) recipe that his friend taught him 40 years ago, decided to try his hand at making and selling the deep fried dough sticks in Kampung Dato Sulaiman Menteri, Johor Baru, where he lives.
