Back then in 1998, it was at a different spot in the busy Geylang Road from today. They had moved to a much smaller corner now at Geylang Lorong 24A, which operates 24hours.
Though the address might have changed, the taste is still as good as before (in my opinion). However, we noticed that the business has decreased much as compared to 15 years ago. It was so tough to find an empty table back then; and just to grab the staff's attention to take down our order was just as difficult too, they were so busy......Always!
Now, the seating space is less than half of what it used to be, yet there were still a number of empty seats. We were surprised.
Before our late night visit today, we had brought the kids there during tea-break a couple of times, the crowd was more or less the same as when its near midnight. Hhhhmmm....could it be the fengshui of the shop? Or did something happen that had caused Yong He Dou Jiang You Tiao Da Wang to have a bad name? I have no idea where have the fans disappeared to. *shrugged*
Anyhow, we enjoyed our supper today.
Reached Yong He Dou Jiang You Tiao Da Wang at about 11.10pm and was glad to find an empty table beside our car.Elder son ordered his favourite Humongous You Tiao and warm soya bean drink which is served in a bowl, instead of cup. Only cold soya bean drinks are served in cups.
I cannot find anywhere else that sells You Tiao longer than the ones sold here. Its really Huge!
Younger son just wanted to eat the soya bean curd and help his brother to finish a small portion of his Long and Big You Tiao.
Hubby had another You Tiao all to himself with cold soya bean drink.
And me?
My favourite Mee Sua (Taiwan Noodle)!!!
Yum!
Plus cold soya bean drink!
Slurp!
Oh! I forgot to mention that it is Yong He Dou Jiang You Tiao Da Wang's practise NOT to put ice in the cold soya bean drink, to preserve its original taste and prevent it from getting diluted by the melting ice.
During our dating days, we often order their Toasted Bun with Meat Floss, Steamed Dumplings, Carrot Cake and Lu Rou Fan. All Yummilicious!!!!
Whatever that made their business decreased so much, which I have no clue at all, it is not going to stop this family of mine from patronising them again.
*Thumbs Up*
