Handmade stuffed beancurd, customizable laksa bowls, and fast-paced auntie hospitality define this bustling Racecourse Road institution. Take your docket to the counter to select six made-in-house yong tau foo pieces—including fish-stuffed Chinese donuts and minced pork beancurd—submerged in a fragrant curry broth that stays medium-bodied rather than cloying with coconut cream.

  • Custom yong tau foo: Diners take their order docket to the counter to select six custom toppings, noodles, and broth.

  • Balanced, Medium-Bodied Laksa Broth

    Diners get a medium-bodied curry laksa broth crafted without overwhelming coconut richness, paired with generously portioned ingredients.

    It looks rich but isn’t a heavy coconut-based broth, which perfectly suits those who prefer a medium-bodied broth.

  • Hainanese Chicken Rice

    This is the best hainanese chicken i've had so far, they've always been consistently delicious✨ The chicken is perfectly cooked in the sauce, and the sweet chilli dipping sauce compliments the chicken flavour so well.
