Tucked in a quiet corner of Jln Bunga Raya where it meets Jln Bendahara is an old coffeeshop that must have been around for quite many years. Since our last visit, the shop has been given a new lease of life with a brand new looking signboard and extension to the next unit.
Unless you are an inveterate food explorer who takes the time to burrow through the town's nooks and crannies in search of good food, you may (like so many others) inadvertently give this place a miss.
What brings me back to this dinghy coffee shop time and again is its delicious Hokkien prawn noodle. Unlike the Singapore version, Lai Siang's soup has a rich reddish tint and is really hot and spicy to the taste. Besides prawns and kang-kong, there are also tiny strips of crispy deep-fried cruellers.
Yung Lai Siang is also famous for its home-made Grandpa's chicken and curry puffs, as the newspaper reports hanging on the walls attest.
