Yong He Eating House

This Yong He eating house was introduced by my friend who said that the tau hway and youtiao are not bad. But the last time he ate there was a few years back and it was located over at Geylang Lor 9 back then. It has since shifted to its new location at Lor 27A and after reading the online reviews we were not really sure whether their standards are still up there. 


Apparently, they have quite a bit of history going back to the 90's and I even read somewhere that they used to have the biggest youtiao in Singapore (that's why the name is youtiao king 油条大王 I guess).


Reviews online also complained that some of the staff had some attitude going on. And yes, we did met one auntie who gave us the black face but there was another auntie who was quite nice. So, there's always a mix of rotten and good apples I believe. Anyway back to the focus of the day, the tau hway with or without peanuts (both cost $1.70) was really not bad. I especially like the one with peanuts because it was a tad sweeter. As for the youtiao ($1.10), it so oily that my friend hesitated to dip it into his tau nee (soya bean drink). Otherwise, it's crispy enough.


Our hot tau nee was served in a bowl and the cold one served in a cup. Hmm why the difference I wonder? Both cost $1.30 as well. I think Mr Bean's tau nee tastes better. Simply because the tau nee here tasted like plain water. What? It was that bland and diluted!


Verdict:
I think that their tau hway and tau nee cannot be compared to the Rochor Beancurd which is also in the vincinity. So if I do ever come to Geylang again, I don't think I would pay Yong He eating house a visit again.
