#MaksChee: HK’s Michelin-Recommended Mak’s Chee To Open 1st Outlet In Malaysia

Never had the chance to try the signature Mak’s wonton noodles in Hong Kong? Fear not.

You no longer have to endure a 3-hour flight to Hong Kong for the Michelin-recommended goodness because according to Malaysia Tatler, the 3rd generation of Mak Woon-chee announced that they will be opening the first Malaysian outlet come January 2016.

Mak's Chee 2

Mak’s Chee Authentic Wonton is set to open its first Michelin-recommended Malaysian outlet at 1 Utama Shopping Centre following the latest Hong Kong Michelin-starred restaurant Tim Ho Wan.

Mak’s Chee Authentic Wonton recipe originated from a street-side eatery in Guangzhou before World War II by Mr. Mak Woon-Chee.  The war brought the Mak’s Family to Hong Kong and Woon-Chee’s son, nicknamed Mak En, carried on the recipe and tradition by starting his own food stall in 1968.

In 1984, Mak En retired and renounced his hawker stall license to the Hong Kong government.  The story continues when Mak En’s eldest son-in-law and skilled descendent, Johnny Yu reincarnate a similar business under his father-in-law’s name on Wellington Street, Hong Kong, which later received Michelin’s Bib-Gourmand title under his guidance. 

From there on, the Mak’s brand grew in popularity in Hong Kong and dish was enjoyed by a long list of famous personalities such as the Former President of the Republic of China – Chiang Kai-Shek and First Lady Soong May-Ling; the infamous food critic Chua Lam as well as American chef, author and TV host Anthony Bourdain, have all tasted the wonton noodle recipe.

Chef Johnny Yu mastered Mak’s wonton noodle recipe and cooking style since he was 17 years old under the tutelage of Mak En, his father-in-law. 

With more than 40 years of experience and distinctive skills in wonton noodle making, he is now spreading the family’s wing by venturing into Malaysian market with the original Mak’s family recipe.

Mak’s Chee restaurant offers fast casual dining with a variety of tantalising and succulent menu with focus on the signature Mak’s Chee wonton noodle, “gold fish” shaped wonton, special herb blended dumplings (sui kau), braised beef brisket, shrimp roe and savoury rich broth with a unique presentation in a classic petite bowl ensuring the special noodle taste and texture to remain al dente and springy.

Chef Johnny Yu

 

With the debut of Mak’s Chee brand in Malaysia, the restaurant is aiming for growth targeting local non-halal communities, urban families and working professionals and authentic food lovers.

In a press statement, Mak’s Chee’s director Mr. Gary Crestejo said:

Our decision to open a restaurant in Malaysia was due primarily to the overwhelming requests and good feedback we’ve received from our Malaysian tourists when they visited Hong Kong.

“It was an extremely big challenge to find the right ingredients here in Malaysia, but we’ve made it, and possibly at an even better quality than what we had in Hong Kong. I’m so excited!” Chef Johnny Yu said.

He added that Mak’s Chee will maintain all traditional food preparation procedures, cooking methods and tools used to emulate the similar kitchen environment in their effort to reinforce brand and food quality assurance to their existing and future customers.

Further details about Mak’s Chee’s first outlet in Malaysia are scarce, but stay tuned to our site for more updates.
