They moved from a 'come here just for good food' to a ' good food and designer comfort' spot a few doors down this once red-light street. All their old favourites are still intact, plus more. A new generation is helming it and they added a new zing to the show. Their sizzling claypot yong tau foo drenched in a thick savoury taucheo brown sauce is still a favourite as the prawn beehoon noodle - bubbling in the signature red-orange shrimp broth. The pork ribs bitter melon (Fu kwa pai kuat) and the fish version aren't as chunky and old-school hearty as we remembered from the old outlet but still so comforting over hot fluffy rice. Very popular among tourists is the cereal prawns and they now have an easy-to-please Kum Long chicken - a whole body of chicken skin smeared with squid paste under, and fried till the skin is crispy. Can you taste what we're talking about here? And oh, seating times are strictly regulated even if you walk in. So, check online and book ahead.
