- Started in 1919, this family run business has survived wars, financial crisis, and now faces its most difficult challenge, the covid-19 pandemic. Toong Kwoon Chye Wantan Mee is a fine example of a Malaysian business that needs help in these trying times. WE must all do what we can to help each other out. We hope you watch the video till the end.
What to eat in Bukit Bintang? Well, go here, you won't be disappointed!

I came upon this posting by chance and am really glad I did. I know Toong Kwoon Chye (TKC). That guy in red, Ah Goo, was a childhood friend. I have been away from KL for decades. Good to see he still looks great. An anecdote about the old TKC that I would like to share. Their residence cum noodle shop was originally located right opposite their present shop. It was a two storey wooden house with living quarters upstairs and the shop downstairs. Right infront of the shop were two very tall duku trees. The fruits were as large as tennis balls. They were already there before The Cathay Cinema was even built. Ofcause everyone knows Cathay was also demolished some years ago. The elderly Yap sisters can attest to this little mundane piece of history.
Yes! They did mention they were somewhere up the road before the current place. If you get a chance, do visit them. Time flies by so fast. Unfortunately one of the sisters has passed on. The son now does most of the cooking and does it well.
@@malaysiankelasI will be coming to KL next month for Ching Ming. I will surely drop by TKC for a wan tan mee and if nothing else just for old times sake. Once again, thanks for posting.
Sejak Covid banyak bisnes terjejas. Yg mampu,tolonglah support. 💪
Tq
My Parents will take me there for there noodles abt 45 yrs ago. Especially after a movie at Pavilion or Cathy Cinema. Those were thr days. Will go and support!!
I don't think the shop has changed much in the last 45 yrs. Do go and also do talk to the old people there as well as the son (Dexter) who is the chef now. They'll tell you about the history of the place.
Must support this lo jio pai.
Wahhh.. Dexter..
Very lencai la you..😂😂
A decade old..Wow! what an achievement! Hope the young man (4th generation) will keep the biz going!
Yes, young Dexter is keeping it all running still. They've recently reopen after the MCO for takeaway orders.
A decade old? That's 101 years which makes it a century, dumbo! 🙄
Do they open on weekends? I went for 2 consecutive weekends (around 8am) but they were closed.
Yes they do. They close every alternate Wednesday. Since MCO they open later (around 8.30am) as customers have significantly reduced. Was there last weekend around 11am.
