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 😁

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!!

The prices are reasonable, and the food tastes good. The staff are friendly, and the environment is clean, they have a lot of vegetarian options can choose.

The taste of the food is good. We ordered sambal kangkong, kungpo pork with rice , sweet and sour with rice and iced chum. My daughter loves the sambal kangkong very much. I would have given five stars if the portion of kungpo pork is bigger. Only less than 10 thin slices of pork that actually gave me a shock for the price of $13.50

Nice little restaurant. Lovely seating area outside. Nice murals on the back wall. There's a little sink for hand washing next to the counter with delicious looking home made sweets.
We were greeted by a lovely friendly lady who I think may have been the owner.
The plain dosa was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Perfect. The sambar had lots of veg and was the perfect consistency with lots of flavour. One of the best I've had. The home made tomato chutney had lovely hints of roasted garlic and the coconut chutney was delicious.
The chicken curry melted in your mouth. The chicken pieces were large and succulent and there were a lot of chicken pieces.
The paneer bhurji was my favourite. It was full of flavour, especially with the fenugreek leaves. Again a large portion.
We had lovely soft tava roti which were cooked to perfection. Not many restaurants offer these.
Great service, lovely food. I would recommend.

Delicious doner kebab. Generous serving of meat and salad. Bread was a bit too thin but not a deal breaker. A very good professional service. Both indoor and outdoor seating available.

I absolutely love the BBQ chicken pizza from Angelo’s Pizza and Pasta! The medium size is a great portion — generous and satisfying without being too much. The pizza is cooked perfectly, with a beautifully crispy outside and loads of fresh, tasty ingredients. It really stands out from many other pizza places. The flavour reminds me of Persian-style pizza, which I find closer to authentic Italian style — so finding this place has been such a happy discovery for me. Highly recommended if you’re after a delicious, well-made pizza! 🍕🔥
