Folks that read my review should really thank me as I will share with u the ultimate newbie tip to this YTH stall. It will definitely save u alot of time knowing this tip. The stall only opens for business around 11pm. It's couple in their 40s at work here. They were notorious for being fierce by the way. So here comes the tip, buddy system required. Once the stall lights are switched on, get one partner to queue at the LHS of the stall first while the other go get the food. The guy owner processed the orders based on the LHS queue and not whoever finished selecting a bowl of ingredients. You can opt to leave yr bowl of uncooked ingredients on the counter itself or its shelf but the queue still follows that of LHS. Vegetables is standard kang kong here. When it's your turn you just hv to tell the guy owner whether u want your ingredients done in soup or dry. Go soup definitely ftw. Also add that you want vege and anchovies else you will get nothing but plain soup. The noodles or behoon has to be ordered with the lady owner, only these 2 choices in dry or soup. After which u proceed to stand behind the table in front of the stall where many trays are placed. Auntie will send your order to that table where u also collect yr chopsticks and sprinkle pepper as desired. That's where you also pay auntie the money. Do tell her beforehand if u need empty bowls or anything. Key is not to get in her way or she will get grumpy.


Now about the food, I ordered one dry beehoon yellow mee mixed, it comes with some crunchy bits like that of fried wantan skin. My ingredients were served on a big metal bowl. My ingredients included cuttle fish, sio bak, pork belly, big intestines, small intestines, fried tau kee, lady finger, ngoh hiong, yu jiao, seaweed chicken, green chilli etc. I took many ingredients so plus the noodle adds up to $17. Anchovies given were generous amount that makes the soup nice. I felt it was an average eat, losing out to the one at lucky plaza. But the queue itself is a sign most ppl like it. But overall a fun experience I must say.

within the same coffeeshop, there is also a chicken rice stall. i was pleasantly surprised this day when i chose to packet $4 worth of the ampang ytf and a packet of roast chicken rice. From my picture attached, i'm sure one would agree with me the quantity of chicken given is super generous. Although its a little dry and the rice is averagely fragrant, you can never eny that for a mere $3, you probably can't find an amount offered for any other chicken rice stall. Maybe uncle tio 4D last night hahaha

Came by this place after Guan's abalone noodles was closed. Had to wait up to 30min for the claypot rice so we opted for ala carte dishes and plain rice (50cents each) instead. ordered the usual favourites like the lotus root duck $10, french bean with shrimps $8 and a salted vege toufu soup $6. As usual the duck was fantastic, with the sauce going so well with the rice. The french bean is also crunchy and the fried shrimps complements it. The soup was a little let down though, had expected those that was boiled for long in the porcelain bowl type but turn out its instant cooked ones. Total bill was $25 for 2 pax. I did not opt for the wet tissue as it was chargeable. Roadside parking lot is foc after 5pm, i think they actually hv free parking tie up with one of the "hui guan" at another lorong. if you can't find a lot, do check with them on that.

This joint is supposed to be inspired by indie cafes in japan, perfect for that afternoon quiet meal. With its nice decoration within its interior, it actually helps one's mind relax. The 2nd floor i heard is also good for hosting small functions. I like their menu design, done like a caricature style IMO.

I ordered the chicken a la cordon bleu $17.90 and an ice latte for lunch. Its a classic fried chicken breast with succulent ham and cheese ham filling, greens on the side. Presentation wise it was above average and the chicken dish was looking nice golden brown. But i felt it actually loses out to charly-t one, the accompanying sauce also does not compliment the chicken. The ice latte drink was average. Like mentioned earlier, i think its the relaxing ambiance that makes the whole experience better. My friend had the all day breakfast and mint tea. total bill adds up to be $49.10. If i were to gripe on something, its that the waitress make me walk to the counter to pay and not sending the bill to the customer. I know its just 2 steps away but that will go a long mile for good customer service.

I think nowadays you can only find such cow shape metal hotplate at neighborhood coffee shop, at least Char Grill Bar seems to be growing strong and sure hopes it stays. My order of Prime Black Pepper Steak came simple, just with onions as base to prevent overcooking and tasteful sauce on the meat. It comes with 2 sides which is usually served separately, mashed potato and onion rings my choice. Its only 4 pieces though . At $10.80 only, I would say its really a no frills meal, the meat is nice and juicy, yes I know its frozen meat but hey it fulfills the craving!
