CHICKEN RICE has always
been a huge part of the Shin
family. Ever since their father
set up his first stall in 1992,
the family of four has been running a
successful chicken rice business.

“He decided to start the business
when he realised he wanted to start
his own family. He believed that he
could provide for the family better
this way,” said daughter Li Wen. And
this proved to be true.

Their shop which is located in
Section 17 of Petaling Jaya, has been a
go-to place for chicken rice among
locals for years.

In fact, their business did so well
that the family were able to switch
from a small stall to having their own
chicken rice restaurant called Kedai
Kopi Yun Kei.

“Back then, we were located at a
restaurant called Wah Cheong that is
near the Caring pharmacy. That was
the first place,” recalled Stanley, the
son in the family.
