Malaysia's best hawker stalls are now found under one roof at a CBD dining precinct
Previous SlideNext Slide Malaysian$ Some of Malaysia's best food comes from hawker stalls, where vendors dedicate themselves to a single dish refined over decades. Kher Chink Pang (PappaRich, NeNe Chicken)'s new venture in Melbourne's QV precinct brings 10 of the country's best hawker stalls to Melbourne, including noodle stall Kedai Koon Kee and pork broth specialists Klang Siong Huat. Some date back to 1945. Khiang Pin kopitiam, run by Pang's grandfather until closing in 2023, has also been revived in Melbourne with Hainanese-style kopi (coffee), where coffee beans are roasted in a claypot with margarine, butter and sugar, but topped with a thick head of salted cream for a modern twist. Hainan butter toast has also been adapted, made from Japanese milk bread filled with a slab of butter and finished with a crackly sweet crust like Japan's pineapple buns. Other stalls are remaining faithful to beloved Malaysian dishes such as bak kut teh, a herbal pork soup. It comes in a claypot with optional add-ons like shallot rice, boiled lettuce and Chinese doughnuts for dipping.
