Nestled in Kepong's Wai Sek Kai (food street), Hong Kee is widely known for their Roasted Chicken Wings (RM3.10 per pair), but also for a portrait of Gurmit Singh devouring those wings plastered on stall's glass display. The Phua Chu Kang-approved wings hit the roadside rotisserie upon order and arrive at your table smokin' with a mouthwatering glaze. Dip them into the sharp-tasting chili sauce for a burst of flavour. This is a place for groups, so bring friends who will gladly gorge with you and order by the dozen (any less is blasphemy!). Pro tip: You might notice that the tables and chairs are grouped in colours — this indicates which stall they belong to and while you can order chicken wings at any table, you are also obliged to order something from the stall where you are seated. Go for the Herbal Tea (RM1.50) to cool you off after the hot wings.
Avg price per person: RM10 per person

Chicken wings (RM3.10 per piece) that have Gurmit Singh's seal of approval! That honey-brown glaze is delicious and perhaps, not as charred (and carcinogenic) as the ones in other famous spots for wings, but what really hits the spot is the tangy, lime-infused chili that comes with. It's a little tricky to find seats here because you will have to order something from stall where you're seated, so opt for drinks and let your tummy focus on the wings!
