CK Express
Discover Malay Delights
CK Express is a name familiar to many, serving traditional, Kampung-styled Malay cuisine in Malaysia. Established in the 90s, CK Express was founded by Lee Chong Kai when he was 20. Mr Lee started the business with recipes from her late mother and named the business after his name. He ran the business from a humble shophouse at Bagan Luar and eventually became a heritage icon in the Butterworth area. The company has now been running for over 30 years and expanded into a chain of F&B outlets, frozen food manufacturing, and catering services managed by second-generation siblings.
