AN UPDATE: This stall has now moved to New Lane (based on the info in their website). No wonder I don't see it anymore!
I love to eat tang yuen all year long, and there is one particular stall at Magazine Road opposite Traders Hotel that sells really good tang yuen (I shall blog about this another time). But my relationship with this stall over the years is somewhat on-and-off ... mainly because the tang yuen seller is kind of "elusive" to me. Sometimes his off days were not fixed, and therefore when I reached the place I was greeted with an empty stall. Major bummer for someone who needed her tang yuen fix.
So, imagine my surprise AND excitement when I found out about this Hong Kong tang yuen at Perak Road. It's quite near my home, too! I HAD to check this stall out. Coincidentally, it was Rueben's day off, so of course I dragged him to go there with me. I bought 4 packets with different soup base - 2 soya bean milk, 1 red bean soup and 1 ginger syrup. I tried the soya bean milk one. So, so good. The milk was fresh and warm and complimented well with the soft and lovely tang yuen. There were 2 giant balls with pastes (white for peanut and green for black sesame). Frankly I preferred the peanut one. If I were to compare this stall with the one at Magazine Road, I'd say in terms of size, this one's smaller, and 1 packet contains lesser tang yuen, too. But both stalls are equally good in terms of the softness of the tang yuen.
A plus point: normally when I buy tang yuen, I prefer to eat them right away as opposed to keeping them overnight because then the tang yuen will turn hard in the middle, making the whole experience of eating quite unpleasant. Fortunately, my mom could not finish an extra packet of the tang yuen, so she had it the next day. She said it tasted just as good.
There's a website for this stall with a map showing the stall's location. I found the place easily the first time, but strangely, when I tried to show my mom the place the next day, I couldn't find it. I think it was because I went on a bike the first time, therefore keeping a lookout for the place was much easier.
