Malaysian Street Food: Hokkien Mee
A hands-on cooking class culminating in a family-style dinner served with wine and beer.
Hokkien Mee. If you know, you know. There are so many debates over the many different types of Hokkien Mee. One thing everyone can agree upon - they are all very good in their own way. We'll celebrate this iconic noodle dish with roots in China's Fujian (Hokkien) province with noodles galore and a flavorful punch of sambal on side. We can't give out tickets to Kuala Lumpur, but this will get us there in spirit!
