Hock Kee Kopitiam Expands to the 16th Outlet at Sunway Square Mall


Hock Kee Kopitiam is proud to unveil its 16th outlet at Sunway Square, a newly opened four-level retail and lifestyle destination at Sunway City Kuala Lumpur. Since its founding in Johor Bahru in 2018, Hock Kee Kopitiam has steadily expanded, marking significant milestones along the way, including the opening of its first Klang Valley outlet in Bangsar South in 2023, a major step into the capital city, and obtaining HALAL certification in 2024.

Nick Ng, Founder of Hock Kee Kopitiam, shared during the opening ceremony, “This marks our 16th outlet. While we currently operate 15 outlets, we have always counted this as our sixteenth. Our very first outlet, which opened during the MCO period, was unfortunately forced to close. However, it remains the beginning of our journey and a powerful reminder of where we came from, something we will never forget.”

A Mission Rooted in Malaysian Spirit At the core of Hock Kee Kopitiam is the Malaysian value of ‘Muhibbah’ – a spirit of harmony, respect, and togetherness among people of different races, faiths, and cultures. It’s a uniquely Malaysian way of life that celebrates unity through shared experiences, especially food. The brand’s diverse menu caters to all communities and dietary preferences, ensuring that everyone, regardless of background, can dine with comfort and peace of mind.

Ng added, “From the very beginning, our vision has been to create Nanyang cuisine that all Malaysians can enjoy. By adopting a “No Pork, No Lard” approach and continuously working towards Halal certification, inclusivity has always been at the heart of everything we do.”

At this new outlet, customers can enjoy a wide variety of the Taste of Malaysia, including Hock Kee’s signature favorites such as Nasi Lemak Banjir, Curry Laksa, Steamed Chicken Rice, Satay Fried Kuey Teow as well as Johor specialties like Classic Laksa Johor Asli and Soto Ayam with Nasi Impit and Lontong.

Since its inception, Hock Kee Kopitiam has remained steadfast in its commitment to serving freshly prepared, made-to-order dishes, never relying on pre-made or frozen meals. With standardised kitchen operations and rigorous hygiene practices, the brand ensures consistency and quality across all outlets. Over the past eight years, Hock Kee has continued to evolve its menu, introducing new dishes that preserve and celebrate Malaysia’s rich culinary heritage.

By the end of 2025, the brand aims to expand more outlets nationwide, continuing to serve as a warm gathering place for locals, travellers, and families. Wherever they meet, there’s always “Hock Kee” and a taste of homegrown comfort.
