An authentic taste of Hong Kong at Sheung Wan in PJ
PETALING JAYA : It's a common enough sight – people gathered around a table, all eyes on the steaming hot pot at the centre as morsels of meat and seafood are dropped into a flavourful broth, to be dished out later for all to share.
Should you be in the mood for some mealtime fun, head to Sheung Wan Noodle House, a true culinary gem that brings the authentic Cantonese flavours of Hong Kong to Malaysia.
Previously located in Cheras, the new restaurant has been in operation for only 11 months, yet already draws in crowds that occupy every table on weekends.
And yes, they don't only sell noodles here, their hot pot is a crowd-puller.
Owner Laura Lee, a Malaysian who grew up in Hong Kong, said the restaurant is her way of sharing a passion for the food she loves. And the menu she has curated showcases a commitment to quality that is rare to find elsewhere.

While Sheung Wan is best known for its Shunde-style hot pot, Hong Kong braised beef and wanton noodles, it's the attention to detail and specially imported ingredients that truly set it apart.
If you're wondering just how much a meal here would set you back, you'll be pleased to know that prices are reasonable for such quality: a bowl of their signature wantan noodles costs just RM17.80.
The sourcing of ingredients is a major focus. 'The wantan mee noodles are shipped in daily from Hong Kong. It does not have the same consistency as the noodles made in Malaysia,' Lee said.

Another lip smacking menu item is the century eggs. A far cry from those typically found here, these too are sourced from Hong Kong. Their mild flavour and creamy yolk are so impressive that even those who have an aversion to them, will enjoy it.
Meanwhile, the fish and cuttlefish balls for the hot pot have a wonderfully springy texture, a testament to skilful preparation that avoids the mushy result of over-processing.
'The fish and cuttlefish balls, as well as tofu are imported from Shunde, a region in China, famous for their Cantonese-style cuisine,' Lee said, adding that in Cantonese, it is spelt 'shun tak'.

For hot pot enthusiasts, the Shunde fish curd is an absolute must-try. Unlike local tofu, its unique texture and flavour are perfect for soaking up the rich broth.
The broth itself is a labour of love, crafted by simmering a remarkable 5kg of sea garoupa fish bones and fish heads for hours.
While every dish is a standout, the beef offal hot pot is the undisputed star. This masterpiece includes perfectly cooked stomach, tendon, intestines, brisket, and beef balls.
Even if you're not a fan of offal, do give Sheung Wan's beef offal hot pot a taste – there is a depth of flavour and texture here that is absolutely heavenly. (Daniyal Goh pic)
The offal is prepared with so much care that there is no hint of any off-putting odour. And the meat is so tender, it literally melts in your mouth. Paired with a thick, almost gelatinous gravy packed with flavour, this dish alone makes the visit here worthwhile.
And for dessert, try the Street Egg Waffle, a common street food in Hong Kong with a crispy crust and a soft inside served with butter and kaya.

For drinks, their Yinyong (coffee + tea) and Lai Cha (milk tea) are favourites that many drop by to savour, Lee said with a smile.
Sheung Wan Noodle House is more than just a restaurant; it's a taste of home for its owner and a transportive experience for those who have a meal there.
Lee's dedication to authentic flavours and premium ingredients shines through in every bite, offering an unforgettable Cantonese meal that brings the streets of Hong Kong and Shunde, in particular, right to your table.

'I love Malaysia' - Cantopop superstar and Heavenly King Jacky Cheung is full of love at his sold-out and power-packed KL concert
Hong Kong Cantopop superstar Jacky Cheung has proven yet again that age is nothing but a number as he mesmerised his many fans at the packed Axiata Arena in Bukit Jalil in his return to the country. The 64-year-old music legend was at his impressive best again for the highly anticipated Jacky Cheung '60+ Concert Tour' which kicked off on Friday (Aug 15). It is no wonder that the concert will be playing for six sold-out nights from Aug 15-17 and also Aug 22-24. The event, presented by Maybank and Golden Destinations, and organised by Star Planet, had the 15,000 fans at the Arena Axiata completely spellbound as the super show kicked off on Friday. The incredibly talented singer, backed by his dancing troupe, sang 30 songs throughout the three-hour show and kept the 15,000 fans singing, dancing, and swaying along to his beat throughout the night. As seen in his past concerts, fans were entertained not only by his music and songs but also with spectacular, state-of-the-art props, themes, and costumes, which had those at the venue asking for more from the very start. "I love Malaysia so much and it is good to be back here," said Jacky, who is also marking his fourth decade in the music world this year. "I'm always so happy every time I'm in KL. I love you (Malaysian fans) so much, you guys are simply amazing. KL is indeed a special place. I will be coming back to KL many times more." The six-show spectacle also marks a triumphant return for Jacky Cheung, following his sold-out run in 2023. The tour has sparked an overwhelming response across the globe, and Kuala Lumpur was no exception, with all tickets snapped up within moments of release. The overwhelming demand for tickets is a clear testament to Cheung's enduring star power. Fans from around the world also converged for this musical celebration, ready to be immersed in the electrifying energy of his live performance. 'Jacky Cheung 60+ Concert Tour' is Jacky's tenth solo concert, encapsulating his profound reflections on life and music. '60+' is not merely a marker of age, but his profound reflections on life and music. Centered on the imagery of 'water,' it symbolises adaptability, inclusiveness, inner strength, and humility —encouraging audiences to face life's ebb and flow with serenity and resilience. The stage design also masterfully integrates lighting artistry with multimedia projection to create a rich and multi-layered sensory space for the audience. For Jacky he said this tour is more than a concert; it is a profound musical journey that links the past, present, and future, inviting all his Malaysian fans to step into his timeless musical universe. An Enduring Icon of the Cantopop Music Scene Jacky Cheung, widely celebrated as the 'God of Songs,' is an undisputed legend of the Chinese music world. His career spans decades, marked by a deeply emotive voice, heartfelt performances, and exceptional vocal mastery—making him a defining figure in both Cantonese and Mandarin pop music. As one of the 'Four Heavenly Kings' of the 1990s, Cheung has touched millions with timeless love ballads while venturing into genres such as pop, rock, and R&B. His iconic hits—such as "Farewell Kiss, Love You More Every Day, Half Moon Serenade, and A Thousand Reasons to Be Sad" — are etched into the collective memory of multiple generations. Beyond music, Cheung has excelled in film, earning industry acclaim for his nuanced acting and showcasing his versatility as an artist. Jacky Cheung remains steadfast in his passion for music, continuing to write new chapters in the legend of the 'God of Songs.' His presence represents the brilliance of an era and stands as an enduring symbol of the Chinese music scene. For the record, Jacky made his debut with the album "Smile" in 1985. It was a flying start and a super debut for the singer as the album sold more than 400,000 copies in Hong Kong alone. A total of 14 of his albums have hit platinum status. "The Goodbye Kiss" effort in 1993 is one of the best-selling albums in multiple countries in Asia, while three of his albums have sold over a million copies in Taiwan, the most out of any artist. Jacky's various accolades include the World Music Award (1996) for the World's Best-Selling Asian Artist, the Billboard Music Award (1994) for Most Popular Asian Singer, and a Guinness World Record for the largest combined audience for a live act in 12 months, with more than two million audience members in 2012. The singer , who has released more than 35 studio albums, is also the best-selling music artist of all time in Taiwan and Hong Kong, and has sold an estimated 60 million albums worldwide. Cheung has embarked on 10 concert tours during his 40-year career, including the "A Classic Tour" from 2016–2019, which ranks as one of the most-attended concert tours of all time with a total attendance of more than 4.5 million people. Jacky has also starred in many well-regarded films throughout his career. Some of his best-known and critically acclaimed movies include "Days of Being Wild", "As Tears Go By", "Bullet in the Head", and "Ashes of Time". He's also known for his roles in "Once Upon a Time in China", "Swordsman", and "July Rhapsody". The movie "Days of Being Wild" directed by Wong Kar-wai is considered a classic of Hong Kong cinema. His recent movie was last year's "Customs Frontline", where Cheung portrayed a customs officer navigating a complex case.

But this August, he has stepped into a different spotlight with the release of his debut solo single, Suka Kamu. The Malay pop track is produced by Persatuan and delivers a heartfelt message about loving someone exactly as they are, flaws and all. Malik Choo debuts his solo single, Suka Kamu. Photo: SVLTAN Management The hook, 'Ku suka kamu seperti kamu', is as simple as it is resonant, wrapping up the song's message of unfiltered affection. The music video, directed by Fareez Nasir, turns that sentiment into a warm, visual narrative. Malik plays a shy delivery rider who crosses paths with a confident, outspoken young woman, portrayed by Wan Nasuha. What follows is the tender awkwardness of two worlds meeting. While this is his first solo release, Malik is far from an industry newcomer. A multilingual performer fluent in Cantonese, Bahasa Melayu, and English. He has fronted campaigns for Marrybrown and Shopee and lent his voice to viral tracks like Kita Jaga Kita with Altimet and Cuurley in which surpassed 10 million YouTube views along with Lelaki Di Telefon with Afieq Shazwan, which amassed over 1.7 million Spotify streams and 11 million YouTube views.

In a full-circle moment, Altimet also contributed to the songwriting for Suka Kamu. He signed under SVLTAN Management and is already planning his next steps toward both local and international stages. Photo: SVLTAN Management The single holds another is Malik's first under the DKK Industri Muzik Dana Kebolehan Pasaran (Domestik 2.0) grant, an initiative by MyCreative Ventures and the Ministry of Communications (KKMM).
