Yong Tau Foo, Chee Cheong Fun, Street Food, Non-Halal
Madras Lane Yong Tau Foo holds a certain nostalgia for many, including myself. However, my last visit over 20 years ago was marred by an unfortunate experience involving an overflowing drain and the less-than-pleasant smells of the nearby market. Revisiting this institution, I am happy to report that things have improved considerably. Despite the rain during my visit, the drains stayed clear, and the roof showed no signs of leaking — a welcome change.
The Yong Tau Foo here is priced at RM2 per piece (Jan 2025), and the handmade quality still shines through, with a texture that retains a pleasant bite. However, the flavours of the meat fell short of my expectations, leaning on the bland side. While the accompanying chilli sauce aims to make up for it, relying on condiments feels like cop out.
Interestingly, the YTF is served in plastic containers—a practical choice for minimising cleaning, though it detracts slightly from the dining experience.
The Chee Cheong Fun (which is bought from the stall directly opposite the YTF), was priced at RM3 per roll. I was surprised with its generous portion size. A single roll is more than sufficient, and I regrettably over-ordered with two rolls, leaving me unable to finish. The rolls themselves were decent though I might have liked a smoother textured cheong fun than this one.
Throughout my meal, the stall operated like a well-oiled machine, with a constant stream of customers and staff busy frying and assembling plates of YTF. The relentless demand is a testament to its popularity among regulars and fans. Madras Lane Yong Tau Foo clearly has its loyal following. For me it's a good place for nostalgia, not for flavours. It's also a reminder of how inflation has risen here. There are reviews from 2013 that stated the price was still RM1 per piece.
