This was the first traditional Taiwanese-style breakfast place to open in YongHe. Established in 1955, it took a while to become popular but since then has been going from strength to strength. In 1975, they decided to stay open 24 hours a day. The food is excellent and there is a good choice of dishes, including Shaobing, radish cake and Malay Steamed Sponge Cake as well as steamed dumplings and Youtiao. Tofu- and vegetable-filled pasties are also very popular. As the name suggests, the soya milk is also very good. One of the advantages of going to a traditional-style breakfast place is that you can choose whether or not to have your soya milk sweetened or as a soup-like dish with spice and spring onions. The business is now being run by the founder's son and they have started to open other branches. A nice touch is that the employees are on a profit-share arrangement, which is maybe how they manage to stay cheerful no matter what time of day you're turning up! This is an excellent place to take visitors to, or just for an after-hours snack!
