Located right after the gantry carpark entrance, Hong Yun has been reputed or their white bee hoon offering. Being a fan of you huak's version, i came by to do a taste comparison hoping that i have a new joint to visit instead of the sembawang area which parking is always an issue. Located under hdb flat, Hong Yun is one of the few stalls within the coffeeshop, so its not the sole business occupying the premises. The Hup Chong ytf is supposedly the other star of this coffeeshop. I ordered the $6 white bee hoon and the kailan with anchovies $7. First impression of the bee hoon its definitely the dry version and not the semi wet type like You Huak's. But the white beehoon taste smooth and easy to the bite. I feel it will be better if its served with a little gravy but again maybe that's exactly how they want to differentiate themselves with the competitor.It also comes with fried pork lard which sembawang's version doesn't. Other ingredients included sotong, chye sim, prawns, eggs and lean meat. The kailan vege did not impress, tasting very average and the accompanied anchovies does not compliment the dish at all. Despite average eats, i must say i like their special chilli sauce, not too spicy and it does goes well with the bee hoon.
