TamJai Mixian [T-Ahm-J-eye. Mee-shee-en], Hong Kong’s #1 Mixian brand that has grown into a global favourite with over 240 outlets across Mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, and Australia, is making its Malaysian debut with the launch of its first outlet at Sunway Pyramid on 29 July 2025. This highly anticipated entry into Malaysia is made possible through an exclusive partnership with Hextar Retail Berhad, a publicly listed company under the Hextar Group, which holds the exclusive rights to operate TamJai Mixian across Malaysia.

Since opening in 1996, TamJai has redefined the fast casual food landscape through its flagship brands: TamJai Yunnan Mixian and TamJai SamGor Mixian. Winning over the hearts and taste buds of Hong Kongers with its signature Mixian — authentic rice noodles made purely from rice and water, delivering a gluten-free yet perfectly al dente bite. The brand’s hallmark lies in its original soup creation, meticulously crafted with aromatic broth and balanced sauces, followed by an array of toppings including fresh meat, seafood, and vegetables, all customizable with 10 spice levels—from non-spicy to “Hell Fire”.

“We are excited to bring TamJai Mixian to Malaysia as part of our broader strategy to grow our footprint in Southeast Asia,” said Mr. Daren Lau, Chairman and CEO of Tam Jai International. “Malaysia represents a dynamic and diverse market with strong growth potential, and we are confident that our proven brand concept will resonate well with local consumers.” Hextar Retail Berhad, which has expanded rapidly into the food and beverage segment in recent years, views the collaboration as a significant addition to its growing lifestyle portfolio.

Dato Eddie Ong, Major Shareholder of Hextar Retail Berhad, commented, “We are truly excited to introduce TamJai Mixian’s bold and flavourful offerings to Malaysian diners. The menu is unlike anything currently available in our market—deeply rooted in Hong Kong street food culture yet thoughtfully modern in its execution. This partnership reflects our ambition to reshape the local F&B landscape by bringing in brands that are not only globally successful but also culturally rich. We believe TamJai Mixian will spark new culinary curiosity and offer Malaysians a taste of Hong Kong in a way they’ve never experienced before.”
