For the hungry eyes, you can go to Restoran Yap Hup Kee and ogle your food porn….the many items of yong tau foo on display. Literal meaning of Yong Tau foo is “stuffed bean curd” although you will actually see other items apart from bean curd, stuffed with a meat paste of either fish or pork. Anything that’s freshly fried cannot go wrong. However, the dumplings were good but not mind blowing.
Carb-rich chee cheong fun is actually steamed rice roll. I absolutely loved the silky smooth and feather-like texture of these rolls here and nothing beats a good sauce. Sweet sauce chee cheong fun topped with “har mai”(dried shrimps). The crispy (minced) dried shrimps added the necessary fragrant aroma to the dish and elevate it to another level. Opt for the robust but not spicy curry gravy version if you are a curry lover.
Parking there is a nightmare. Endless driving around the numerous lots to find a spot, to no success, I almost had to call yong tau foo day quits without even leaving the car…until I hatched the idea of parking in a nearby hotel.
The food was good, but not THAT good. This is the true truth as I say it as it is…
