Over
Years
M’Dee began in 2006. Mohd Rosidi Abdul Rashid was lecturing in computer science in Bukit Mertajam then, bottling his char koay teow paste five hundred at a time. He later left teaching to run it full time. Today the kitchen in Tasek Gelugor turns out thousands of bottles a month for kitchens all over Malaysia.
Our 1.5kg Sos Char Kuey Teow is the one the stalls reach for, with more than 20,000 bottles sold online. Add your own prawns, egg and kuey teow, and that’s it.

He kept adjusting one recipe until friends stopped asking for it and started asking him to bottle it. He made five hundred bottles. They sold.
M’Dee started as a hobby that got out of hand. Mohd Rosidi Abdul Rashid was teaching computer science in Bukit Mertajam and cooking at home in the evenings, adjusting one sauce until it tasted like the stall he grew up with.
He took early retirement from teaching and moved production into Kompleks Perda Food Park in Tasek Gelugor. The recipe has not changed since, and he still signs off on every batch.
