I think we can agree that stir-fried food with good wok hey tastes better, and I think that’s one of the reasons why our Sinkie hawker food had been in the shadows of Malaysian street food.

If we happened to come across any good Sinkie hawker stir-fried food, good chance they used very high heat, as with those tze char stalls with those jet burners.

Then you take a look at the small cubicles in the hawker centres, how many stall owners can tahan the heat from those jet burners in that small space?

You recall why some pasar malam stir-fried beehoon or noodles tasted better? Take a look at the open-air cooking stoves with those jet burners. Wok hey is important, my fellow connoisseurs...

KNN some have high BP with history of stroke is committing suicide to earn that money KNN rast time my neighbour's husband was 1 of the victim to explode in the heat KNN
 
I have my opinion on stir frying as a means of cooking ,it’s quite exclusively China’s ... because in colder climate fire material were short in supplies and you need to get your food very hot in quick time too ...but that is totally unnecessary in tropics where fire wood is aplenty and food cooked can be kep for hours if not days , so a slow method of heating for a longer duration became more tenable locally

How about claypot-hei?

These are the top three claypot rice eateries in KL, in my opinion:

Not in order:
1) Heun Kee, near the red light district and a busy highway flyover.
2) Hong Kee, Chinatown area, push cart.
3) Wei Ji, northeast KL suburbs, opposite a Chinese school.

I'm looking for a large wok. Which one can you recommend?
 
In the past, I relied on Tefal and Le Creuset cookware, hoping to find the perfect wok that would last for years. However, despite the reputable brands, I never quite achieved the longevity I desired. That's when I stumbled upon Yosukata https://yosukata.com/, and it turned out to be a game-changer for my cooking experience. Since I started using Yosukata's wok, I have never had to worry about replacing it, as its quality has exceeded all my expectations.
The lesson I learned from this experience is the importance of conducting thorough research and reading reviews before investing in kitchen essentials. While popular brand names can be tempting, they don't always guarantee the best performance or durability.
