Michelin-starred chicken rice restaurant Liao Fan has opened its first Malaysia outlet. Located in Ipoh, Chan Hon Meng’s birthplace, the outlet attracted a big crowd and all the food sold out on the soft-opening day last week.
Singapore’s street food hawker Chan Hon Meng made headlines in 2016 when his soy-sauce chicken rice dish received a Michelin star. The Liao Fan Hawker Chan stall became one of the first street-food stands in the world to receive the award and also the cheapest Michelin-star meal in the world.
The Liao Fan Hawker Chan Malaysia is non-halal as the restaurant also sells pork dishes.
