Sek Fook Yuen

Twenty years ago, dai chow stall Sek Fook Yuen set up shop in the Ayer Panas Hawker Centre (opposite the Ayer Panas Setapak wet market), a dingy little spot that’s much-loved by locals. Owner and chef Phoon Ah Sang had moved to KL from Bentong, a town famous for their smooth and springy noodles.
