A perfect alibi...
Jun 18, 2007Changi Airport. 7:45am. We just found out that panda's flight has been delayed for 2 hours and she's growlingly grouchy, as in "grrrr... i'm gonna bite somebody!" I had to find something for her to bite on other than one of my appendages - my finger (what were you thinking?) So, we went to Geylang.
The natural place to look when driving down Geylang Road is towards the even-numbered lorongs (side-streets) on your left, but decent drivers and those who pretend to be will invariably turn towards the odd-numbered ones on the right, and that's not a bad choice after all. Lorong 9 is the most common alibi used by guys who have been seen cruising along the infamous road at suspicious hours. "Oh I was just going to Lor. 9 to get a night snack", without specifying which kind. When pressed why it was in Lor. 18 that the car was sighted? "Just looking for parking, lah..." True enough, parking right outside Yong He is almost impossible since the big bowls of 豆浆 (soy bean milk) that are served here is reason enough to risk your reputation.
In any case, panda and I were there at 8:30am, too late for anything salacious to be going on. We ordered two 甜豆浆 (the sweet one, they also have a salty version that is commonplace in Taiwan), another bowl of 豆花 (bean curd), 油炸鬼 (fried dough) to go with the soy bean milk, and 黏饭 (rolled sticky rice with pork floss and 油炸鬼 fillings). We also ordered a 烧饼 (crispy puff bread sandwiching some egg and pork floss). Service is fast and the soy bean milk is piping hot when it arrives. The bean curd has some sweet peanuts on top and is soaked in sinful syrup. The bean curd is not as smooth as those found in Rochor, and leaves a bit of a “siap-siap” feeling in your mouth (the closest English word I can think of is “astringent”). The 烧饼 is excellent and is a great breakfast combination, kinda like McMuffins Geylang-style. The 黏饭, for those who like sticky rice, it is something you just have to try. More popular in Hong Kong, this mixture of textures and tastes rolled into one is sure to delight the first time you bite into it. Finally, the 豆浆 – you can slurp it solo or dip the 油炸鬼 into the hot stuff, this is the main reason why Yong He is famous and it does not disappoint. Just make sure you stir before you slurp as the sugar is at the bottom.
With panda’s nibbling habit satisfied, we returned to the airport and she marched past immigration and towards her gate without so much as a second glance. As for me, I’ve already started wondering when would be my next chance to return for more sinfully sweet “night snacks”.Must Tries

Beancurd minus the vice
Mar 16, 2008Dedicated to cloudgal & MN,
Those whom have patronised this place know that in the past, a major hindrance of coming here is probably...the vice.
Stuck in the heart of the red-light district, many may have been turned off to pay a visit.
Fast forward to 2008, they have a new location in Geylang abit further from the "action" ~ the crowd was pretty much the same.

油条大王 'you tiao da wang' - king of fried fritters
Oct 29, 2008previously located at geylang lor9, was 1 of my fav supper haunts after late night movies, and or post clubbing recovery joints from alcohol intoxication. was taken a-back by its disappearence after not patronizing for a long long while. only learnt recently that they've relocated to lor27a.
was out w a buddy witnessing liverpool's lucky 1-0 victory over chelsea on sunday. while the night was still young, decided to hunt for the famous soy bean & fritters combo.
my fren ordered his usual; tau huay + peanut, while i took my usual; tau huay + tau nee. fitters was a must, and we topped it off with their famous taiwanese pastry.... gave the oyster mee suah a miss, considering we had quite a late dinner.

Yong He Eating House
Feb 13, 2010Reviwer: Chua Yew Ann Date
Visited: 310110
Address: 517 Geylang Road (Near Lorong 27A)
Went to this place after playing mahjong with jiayao, kokhui and sean. According to my brother, they\'re super famous for the tao huay and you tiaos they serve. It opens 24/7.
AMBIENCE : 6.0/10
Yong He Eating house feels like some kind of lup-sup hong kong cafe with no air-con and comfortable cushioned chairs. The place is however rather clean and spacious. Hmmm. I mean what ambience can you expect from an eating house in Geylang? Anyway the place was quiet when we ate there at around 8, but it usually gets very crowded/packed/lively/busy fom midnight onwards, so its definitely a great place for late suppers at night. And also for prudes and cynical bitches who think Geylang is flooded with social escorts everywhere, Yong He\'s only a 5-10 mins walk from the housing estate and is almost entirely free from hookers.
FOOD: 7.5/10
HALAL : NO
The menu comprises of mainly small dishes like onion fried pancakes, mee sua, tau huay, soy bean drink, you tiao, xiao long baos, dumplings, beef noodles and etc. Great place for supper but might not be suitable for people looking for a complete meal as the place offers little variety for main courses. Its a no go for our muslim friends tho, because it serves pork. I did not manage to try the you tiaos because I ordered tau huay instead of tau nee. But if you ever visit the place, please try the you tiaos because they are apparently DAMN good.
1. Beef Noodles - $4.00: 5/5 Probably one of the best beef noodles I have tasted. The soup base is great, with some resemblance to those uber yummy beef-cup noodles we had in Taiwan. The soup tastes authentic (definitely way less msg than cup noodles) and slightly spicy. The noodles served are handmade, slightly chewy with just the right texture. Best part of the dish is definitely the beef. Not only is the serving generous, but the meat is also ridiculously tender with the perfect distribution of fats and lean meat. Just thinking of the meat now makes me drools.
2. Onion Fried Pancake - $2.50: 2.5/5 According to Kok hui, this tastes slightly like roti prata. The pancake tastes slight salty with fragrance of onion (like duh). Tastes good on its own, even without any chilli sauce. Maybe its because I ain\\\\\\\'t exactly a big fan of pancakes, but it did not impress me as much as the beef noodles.
3.Xiao Long Ba0- $5.00: 3/5 This is really not so bad a deal as you get 8 xiao long baos for only 5 bucks. The standard of the dish, however, cannot be compared to those from ding tai feng and crystal jade. The xiao long baos lack soup inside and the texture of the skin is slightly rough. But the amount of pork stuffed inside is generous and the price is definitely economical, and hence the decent rating given by me.
4. Tau Huay (with/wo peanuts) - $1.20: 4.5/5 Adequate serving, silky smooth tau huay with just the sweetness. Suitable for those who love traditional tau huay. Apparently its what the place is famous for so do try it if you ever dine here.
SERVICE : 5.0/10 Their service is typical of those road side restaurants in geylang. Nothing much to comment but one shouldn\'t expect any sevice that makes one feel like a VIP when dining at such a place.
VALUE: 8.0/10 GST: YES SERVICE CHARGE: NIL Adequate servings with relatively low prices.
OVERALL : 7/10 Overall, the food here is great when you take into consideration of the price. A great place for friends to chit chat over late night suppers.

Stick to Tau Nee
Aug 21, 2009Had a sudden desire to drink tau nee with you tiao at night, so decided to go to Yong He. This shop has been around for quite a while, with its signature signboard seen from afar at its old premise. Somehow, with a change in location, the quality has dropped.
After trying quite a bit of stuff, I would recommend to stick to just tau nee and you tiao, and maybe pork bun if you want a bit of variety.
Things tried:
1. Tau Nee - remember to ask for sweet version
2. You tiao - crispy and dip it fast into the tau nee!
3. braised pork bun (aka kong ba pao)- overall taste was quite nice with some pickles, small amount of meat
4. Mee sua - very thick gravy with strong pepper taste. if you the version from Shihlin Street Snack, I don't think you will like this.
5. pork floss bun - cold and not crispy. not worth it.
Will still go back for the tau nee and you tiao when the craving arises!Must Tries

not the best but still good
May 29, 2009when late night supper of dao huay beckons, we never fail to think of Yong He. a favourite supper joint since our undergrad days.
since it has moved to the current location in geylang lorong 27a, space is a luxury. customers can breathe easier, seats & tables are plentiful too...
supper there can be rather costly though. a porkfloss bun (w/egg) costs $2.80, $2.30 with red bean filling.
the aunties in Yong He can be very rude, getting impatient if you are not fast in giving her your food orders.
in my recent trip there with 2 other friends, we ordered 2 youtiaos (our usual favourite) but were disappointed with the standard of the youtiao. they were cold and soft unlike the usual hot and crispy ones we like.
thankfully, our toasted buns w/ egg and porkfloss did not disappoint.
sitting at Yong He, we are always entertained by the ongoings in the neighbouring streets or near us... 'business deals' negotiations and transactions...Must Tries

Disappointing!
Jan 30, 2008This place has recently moved to Geylang Lor 27A. Me and my friend was at nearby and abit hungry so i thought maybe give it a try since it moved to this new place.
Seats were plenty, maybe at 2pm, lunch break's over. Sat down for 3mins and was wondering why no staffs asked "What's your order?"(which they do back at old place promptly even though it was packed), so i walked to the counter thinking maybe change of concept. She saw me in front of her and she said: "Have a seat, we will come to you"... Sigh...
Ordered the following and their comments:
1. Soya bean drink: Pretty bland(maybe they forgot to add sugar). Disappointed!
2. You tiao: Crispy. Not bad.
3. Taiwan bun w pork floss: Bun was hard, pork floss was not much. Disppointed!
4. Taiwan mee-sua: Was hoping to find 2 to 3 oysters but none. Disappointed!
To summarise, their standards have dropped tremendously compared to before!
Spoke to another friend about the place, he told me the food was very disappointing(Lucky im not the only one commenting, hehe..)I also recommend this place for
