At 83, Dato’ Seri Abdul Mutalib Datuk Seri Mohamed Razak cuts a lively, sprightly figure. Abdul Mutalib is a jovial, impeccably well-mannered elderly gentleman who has led an illustrious, remarkable life, having served as a lawyer in private practice for decades. At 83, Abdul Mutalib still continues to cook heirloom family recipes like mee rebus and meehoon biryani and even takes orders from friends. Meehoon biryani is a unique dish that Abdul Mutalib learnt to make from his father's cook. To this day, even at the ripe old age of 83, Abdul Mutalib still takes orders for these dishes and makes them for cherished friends.
