Yong Huat

Fried Mee Sua

Fried mee sua starting at $7

Yong huat used to be an old stablishment along east coast road since 1949. Gone are the original family that ran this establishment previously. Recipe was sold to the current owners back in 2020.

As this was my first time here, couldn't compare with how it once was.

The first impression I had, that it doesn't look very fantastic. Smell and taste of wok hei definitely there.

Overall, still quite a good plate of fried mee sua. Will I eat this if I was passing by in future? Maybe.

The moment I collected my plate, i can smell the aroma from it. It's cooked well, The mee sua not stick become lump, got wok hei and tasty. Additional chilli to it, to elevate the flavours.
Heng I ordered medium size 😆.
💰$7.

Am I missing anything here? This was supposed to be one of their signatures but I felt it was lacking in flavour/texture. I was expecting something dry and a nice wok hei but this came out a little too wet for my liking. The sambal chilli did manage to help salvage it 》$5/small

Thick bee hoon and yellow noodles with chock full of sliced pork belly, prawns, eggs and squid in a robust prawn stock. They use a lot of lard which gives out a nice aroma that is flavourful yet sinful at the same time 》$5/small

The old guard has passed on the reigns to new owners at this institution, and though its a slightly different beast, my fears were unfounded and the food is still surprisingly good.

Not surprisingly the menu has been expanded to add more variety, such as this artery clogging hokkien mee “zhnged” with roast pork belly. As to the noodles itself, they aren’t as saucy nor lard-infused as the original owner’s version, but you can make up for this now with the free flow lardons. In a twist, the prawns have gotten even bigger and juicier. Nice!

Heard so much about Yong Huat and I am finally here! A plate of flavourful Fried Mee Sua ($5.00) that comes with 2 prawns, squid, fish cake, egg, veg and pork lard. I will be back.

Everything remains the same, with the name, signage and even the previous owners’ photos and videos still placed at the stall front but with a different person behind the wok now. There were reports that circulated mentioning that the previous owners have passed down the cooking skills and methods to the new ones and I’m curious to find out how is it compared to the past. This plate of Fried Mee Sua ($5) has achieved almost 80-85% of the previous flavour with it just being not as oily and wok hei filled but overall still a very good plate that you can give it the support. I have to say that the legacy has been successfully passed down and I’m hoping the new owners do not decide to retire anytime soon as they too are around the generation as the previous.

I just found out today that the stall is being taken over and it will be business as usual even as Uncle and Aunty retire.
My usual order of Fried Mee Sua was cooked by the new hawker this afternoon, with Aunty’s guidance (yes, she was there watching over him). First impressions: the portion appeared a tiny bit smaller but plating was neater, and the noodles looked a little less oily.
After hoovering it up, I would pitch it at between 95% to 97% of the original version fried by Aunty or Uncle. It was ever so slightly less oily and salty but once I mixed in the sambal chilli, the taste balanced out nicely. Most important of all, there was no compromise to the potent “wok hei” which is a signature of the #FriedMeeSua here. I did feel there was a small reduction in the amount of “liao” (ingredients) in my $5 plate but didn’t mind that at all, to be honest. The two main improvements were that the noodles were pleasantly fluffier and the cubes of pork lard, fried to a deeper golden-brown, were crunchier than before.
Would I continue to patronise “Yong Huat”? Yes because the overall is still damn shiok. I just hope the original taste can be maintained by the new stall owners as time passes.

Hidden within AlibabaR Hawker Bar (just opposite 112 Katong Shopping Mall), Yong Huat is a famous yet unassuming hawker stall that has been at the same spot since 1949! Serving up tasty hawker delights such as Fried Mee Suah, Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee & Fried Kuey Teow, it’s a real pity you won’t be able to get them anymore after end of this month (Aug 2020).

Came in pretty generous portions, both dishes were packed with tons of wok hei and flavour. Succumbed to my sinful temptation, I added quite a fair bit of fried pork lard which elevated the dish to another level. If I had to pick my top favourite, it’s definitely their Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee😋.

This was flavourful and had wok hei, but was a little too oily for my liking. The chilli is spicy and fragrant, and the meesua strands were well coated with the broth - not clumpy at all! I thought that they were pretty generous with the ingredients as well :)

Traveled from west coast to east coast to show some support to the uncle and auntie at Yong Huat, after reading about their retirement due to health issues from @veronicaphua and @juliuslim. Tip-off by @cweizhi about the limited seats so we arrived slightly before lunch time. True enough, by the time we left at 1pm, a snaking queue has already formed. Fortunately, there was an auntie who helped to allocate seats.

The wok hei game was indeed strong in Yong Huat’s fried mee sua, which was highly evident from its aroma even before tucking in. This flavorful plate of mee sua exuded distinctive smoke notes, and therein lies its charm. However, some might find it slightly oily from the pork lard that’s used in frying as it coats every strand beautifully. Served with generous amount of vegetables, pork belly, prawns but what’s not to miss is really the sambal chili which packed a hell load of punch.

Before time runs out, show them some ❤️ till end of August!

Good plate of Hokkien mee! Uncle and aunty closing shutters in end August 2020! Try before it’s gone!

Burpple brought to my attention that this little gem will be closing down for good in end August 2020 due to medical issues. Solid plate of flavourful meesua that went well with the chilli. Fried meesua is way too underrated. There’s a need to have more of this around. Try it before it’s gone!

The couple who has been plying the hawker trade for the past 50 years has finally decided to call it a day as the uncle had to retire due to health issues with his knee and eye and he had to undergo surgeries soon, and his wife is not able to mend the stall on her own. With no one to take over their legacy, their final curtain call and plate will be on 31 August.

As I savour my fried mee sua, it came with a tinge of sadness from each bite as we will lose another hawker dish into the history books. If you have been to Yong Huat, you will know that both of them clearly epitomises wok hei in the stir fry. Every strand of noodle and ingredients will have that distinctive smokey aroma that you cannot find elsewhere. There is still a bit of time left till end of August, so make your way down and show your final support to both uncle and auntie before they finally close shop for good.

Yong Huat, a 71-year old stall that sells the BEST Hokkien mee and fried mee suah in Singapore, is closing at the end of Aug 2020.

The 𝗛𝗼𝗸𝗸𝗶𝗲𝗻 𝗠𝗲𝗲 ($𝟱/𝟲/𝟴/𝟭𝟬) is a MOUNTAIN of deliciousness. Uncle Weng Hong, who took over the stall from his father, is super generous with the ingredients, giving you a heaping plate of expertly-fried noodles with 4 whole prawns, chunks of crispy pork lard, pork belly, squid and egg.

The 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗮𝗵 ($𝟱/𝟳/𝟵) is astoundingly good. Every strand of vermicelli noodle is infused with an incredible wok hei flavour, and similar to the Hokkien mee, it comes with copious amounts of ingredients, from prawns to pork belly, pork slices, pork lard and fish cake and egg.

All the dishes come served with a fiery red sambal chilli, which is just the right balance of sweet and spice. Add a squeeze of calamansi lime for an extra sour dash of zing, and you’ve got yourself a perfect meal.

I could eat 10 plates of the noodles if I had a stomach that was large enough.

Other than Hokkien mee and fried mee suah, they also serve 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿 𝗞𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗧𝗲𝗼𝘄 ($𝟱/𝟲/𝟴), 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗻 𝗠𝗲𝗲 ($𝟱/𝟲/𝟳) and 𝗙𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗡𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀 ($𝟱/𝟲/𝟳), which are all incredibly tasty in their own right. Every dish at Yong Huat is flawless. If you want to try Yong Huat’s food, go down and show them some support before it’s too late!
