Hey Hawker

20250713 We've been back regularly and I thought I'd updated!! I was craving the yong taufu laksa which has proved to be my fav at this place now. There is no comparison. Tonight, the quality was still similar except the veggies like capsicum and okra were smaller. Im hoping it's a winter issue as these are not seasonal. My son had the BBQ pork wonton noodle soup. It didn't look as appetising as pics from other places but he said it was tasty. I felt there was not as much protein either with some bbq pork slices and 2 wontons. We slurped it up on this nippy winter's night and were satisfied! As we were leaving I let the guy know his YTF Laksa is the best in town. I learnt it's freshly made which explains why it's only available on the weekend. Miss it st your own loss 😁 No MSG effect yet. 2024 I came here a few years ago, and reacted badly to the msg. Since then I stopped coming to Hey until tonight as it was en route from seeing my dad. I just wanted a quick meal and run. I walked into what seemed like an old kopi diam, with squishy spaces. It was abustle with happy patrons enjoying their meals which I didn't pay much attention to as I was not expecting much, except to confirm my assessment from a million moons ago. I ordered a hor fun with egg sauce and the weekend special, yong taufu laksa. We got the chopsticks and did the usual clean. Before we knew it, the hor fun arrived. Looked good with generous ingredients and a wok hei flavour about it. My yong taufu laksa arrived shortly after which was nice and I was gobsmacked! It looked amazing!! And it tasted like no YTL I have ever tasted!! The first thing was the taufu wafer (?), then the full-sized fresh okra, not slimy or squishy but fresh! The fish paste in the YT was generous and so fresh!! Huge large pieces that struggled to fit in my mouth. The soup was creamy with the coconut, and sambal - authentic. It had the crunch of fresh taugeh and choy sum. My son also preferred the hor fun compared to other places and he's a connoisseur of HF, with a fussy criteria. I will try that next time. This should be a 5-star review but I'll reserve that for the next visit. As we walked out into the balmy carpark, I felt like I could have been back in Asia somewhere. We were done in less than 30 minutes!!! And to my surprise, all that was less than prices at most places. For the quality and quantity, we're definitely returning!! Yea, proved wrong!!

Delicious food today at Hey Hawker - featuring Assam Fish (main serving - need to ask not on menu), Pork Belly with rice (blackboard special), chicken flavored rice and taufufa with gula Melaka. Been a while since we went it was a staple during COVID - glad to be back now I remember why we loved it so much here!

Cheap but delicious. The home made chilli sauce is wonderful. Chicken is moist and favourable.

Hiding in the suburbs in a very tiny corner shop lies what rumours say they make pretty good hainanese chicken rice 🍚 So had to check it out for myself. Well the place was pretty packed which is a good sign. Walked in and the place smells like good Asian food. Ordered the CKT, beef fried rice, radish cake, braised soya pork, 2 meat combination and sang mee egg sauce. The radish cake was 🔥 and probably was the yummiest dish there. The CKT was next with its slight wok hei taste. But was here for the the chicken rice and got to say it was ok. The chicken was moist, the chicken rice was nice, but the soup and chilli sauce was pretty good. Got to say the benchmark for Chicken rice in Perth is still Tak Chee. But this place is recommended for its other dishes as well👌🏼 👍🏽
