Simple Joys: Why My Parents Loved A Gelang Patah Day Trip

Sometimes the best travel memories aren't found in bustling city centers, but in the quiet corners of a town like Gelang Patah . Instead of looking at photos from my Dad, I decided to ask my parents along to cross the causeway for a change of pace. We traded the usual shopping malls for authentic flavors and a slower rhythm of life. If you’re looking for a day trip that centers around local food and even better company, here's how we spent our day. Weathered vintage shophouses brimming with nostalgic charm and timeless character HOW TO GET THERE I have a confession to make: despite living in the West for 30 years, I only just realized how incredibly convenient to cross the border via the Tuas Checkpoint! Although I have been through the custom there via coach while on short trip. But not when I travel on my own! Living close to the Tuas Checkpoint makes the journey a breeze. We are 8 stops away from home to Tuas Link MRT station (opened since June 2017), hopped on the CW7 cross...

Food Review | Tiong Bahru Yong Tao Hu


Went Leisure Park Kallang after work to get a new washing machine from Mega Discount Store. Once done, time for dinner. Walked around in search for food and happen to come across this Tiong Bahru Yong Tao Hu. A lousy foodie me who didn't even know of this existence. I only know the one at People's Park Food Centre that always have a long queue and sold out even before lunch time end.

This place served authentic Hakka Yong Tao Hu that are freshly made and in their menu, there are different combinations to choose from; dry, soup or laksa base, yellow noodles, beehoon or kway teow or any two. Sides like otah, prawn rolls, veggie and big fishcake. Here our picks:


Signature Yong Tao Hu (Dry) with Yellow Noodles $7.20

Simple bowl of YTH, mixed with sweet and chilli sauce. Just like any YTH. But here, you don't get to choose the ingredients but take what is given. Tofu, fishballs and beancurd skin wrapped with fish stuffing. But the noodles portion was not a lot even though we got a Large one. 



Yong Tao Hu Laksa with Beehoon + Yellow Noodles $6.60

This laksa base was good and not diluted. Same amount of ingredients given like their Signature. Always love having yellow mee, sometimes adding beehoon to it. I always believe that yellow mee has this good absorption of taste when cooked.





Big Fish Cake $3.50

According to the culinary instinct of my husband, he said that in order to achieve such crisps on the outside without losing the taste and moist on the inside, it required the hot oil and fast frying. Nice and I love it so much. 


For thirst quencher, we ordered a Iced Barley and Lime at $1.80 each. 

Overall, it was alright but the noodles portion isn't that filling and definitely not worth the price. But apparently, it seems like by 8+ at night, their food were sold out. So probably it was good in others' opinion.
