Yong's Teochew Kueh

The Teochew kueh were excellent! Tasty and authentic! I bought a few varieties to sample and they all tasted very nice 👍🏻 It’s a simple shop and probably has been there for decades. One may miss it if not paying attention to it. They were mainly for take away. I didn’t notice any sitting places for dining in. It was a quiet time when I was there and the auntie was helpful in promoting their kueh and other food items. One recommendation: lightly steam the kueh and they would bring out the flavour even more. The kueh were all very filling and I believe they were also very a lot of lard. So, don’t overbuy like what I did as I couldn’t finish them 😄

Good old fashioned traditional taste with slightly thicker skin but the ingredients are generous. Average is between $1.80-1.90 per piece.

Bought some yam Kueh, soon Kueh and Ku chye Kueh from Yong's Teochew Kueh at Kovan location. Their Kueh is larger size than others and I really like the texture of the fillings and skin. Taste still maintain after all these years. For me is still the best traditional teochew Kueh in town. No more in house dine area. Only take aways.

Finding a good Teochew kueh specialist these days feels like searching for a hidden treasure. I ventured out to Yong’s Teochew Kueh and it was well worth the trip. Opted for a mixed box at $8.80, which translates to roughly $1.70 per kueh - a fair price for the quality. I had the Soon Kueh at room temperature, and even without any sauce, it impressed me. The fillings were incredibly fresh, crunchy and have the right savoury note. On the following day, I heated up the rest. Cabbage Kueh and Chives Kueh really stood out with perfect chewy skin. What’s impressive is all the kuehs have the right amount of fillings to skin ratio. Here's a minor nitpick: they only offer a large bag of chili and dark sauce. While the condiments are a welcome addition, it's difficult to use everything. Individual packets or smaller portions would be a welcome change to minimise waste.

The Yam Kueh is really special! It is filled with strips of yam, providing a good chewy texture on top of the good taste! I ordered the rice kueh and soon kueh too and it's pretty good. But nothing beats the yam Kueh. Getting there is hard though, as I had to walk quite a distance from kovan mrt. Besides that, queue for quite a while and had to went to the petrol station opposite it to draw cash, as they accept cash only.

Most people are only familiar with their teochew kuehs. Let me share with you a secret - their Xin Zhou Mi Fen is excellent!

The stall and food are both very traditional. Even just standing outside the store, the aroma is very good. Have been eating the food since a child. The cabbage dumpling is tasty and filling. When I go to the store, feels like I travelled to the good days.

Absolutely the worst service I have experienced in a long time. This was my first visit and it will be my last for sure.. There was no one at the entrance to guide customers. I saw a queue at the cashier and lined up, assuming I could place my order there. Then, out of nowhere, a lady came up and in a rude, almost scolding tone asked if I had ordered. When I said no, she literally chased me out and told me to stand outside to order!! Seriously? Ever heard of speaking politely to customers? It’s not hard. When I finally ordered outside, the service somehow got even worse. The staffs looked at me like I owed them money. I spent over $30 on some glutinous rice, whole steam yam cake and asked for chopsticks, and was handed ONE pair. When I questioned it, the lady snapped, “You didn’t tell me how many pairs you want!” Excuse me? Basic common sense.. even if I never tell how many pairs, isn’t it that we can always communicate in a better tone? I always enjoy buying from elderly sellers because their friendliness makes it a pleasant experience but not this shop. Here, it felt rude, and completely unwelcoming. If this is how they treat paying customers, they shouldn’t be in frontline service at all. The rudeness, the complete lack of respect .. all before 9am. Absolutely disgusting. I will never return and will warn everyone I know to avoid this place.
