KL Hokkien Mee as our new hangover food? Say less.

Famous for their wok-fried noodles, we visited Ipoh Tuck Kee in Malaysia and tried some of their signature Zi Char noodle dishes!

Not to be confused with Singapore Hokkien Prawn Mee, KL-style Hokkien Mee consists of thick yellow noodles (also known as Tai Lok Mee) smothered with dark savoury soy sauce, mixed with succulent juicy pork and seafood, and crispy pork lard.

As one of Malaysia’s must-try street food, expect plenty of smoky “wok hei” from this comforting stir-fried noodle recipe!
