The Heun Kee in Pudu, which Madam Heun May Lan started as a stall in 1985 and which held a Michelin Bib Gourmand, closed for good that month. The Taman Connaught shop announced that it would keep operating, while the Pudu shop's own notice said it had no branches, so whether the two are one business is not settled.
