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!!
