Thank you for your blog and all the pics and directons. <br /><br />I ordered the traditional warm soy milk in a bowl. My boyfriend ordered something like "peanut soy milk" and it came in one of those covered cups w/ a straw. I'm trying to figure out what that milk is called and where I can get it. I've googled and no luck. I took a pictue of the menu but I can't read it. <br /><br />Any idea what that milk is? <br /><br />thanks!

I know even with my fave places, there are some times where they aren't their best.<br /><br />Si Hui: it's near the SYS MRT station (not CKS!) and not too far from the station on GuangFu. You can try plugging in the address on googlemaps. <br /><br /> The Thirsty Pig: can't beat it a really good Chinese breakfast, especially at these prices!<br /><br />Anonymous: ah, thanks for your update! I'll fix the address.. I've never gone in the afternoon, but it makes sense that breakfast is only served in the morning as the demand for it after 11am is probably not worth making.. <br /><br /> My LiFe StOrY :sounds like breakfast is only served until 11am.joanhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17843619464189692369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14277482.post-76250991668709746652011-04-17T23:27:38.077+08:002011-04-17T23:27:38.077+08:00Hi

Not all Chinese breakfast places and not all Yong He restaurants are the same! Since our favorite Yong He Dou Jiang franchise location near Shi Pai closed down a while back, we were finding it hard to locate another and you hadn't posted your review on this yet (darn!), we decided to try the place that is supposed to be the original (now called Yong He Soy Milk King of the World) at 284 Yonghe Road Sec. 2. Coincidentally you mentioned this location in your posting. You said you had heard it was "really famous and delicious" - all I can say is beware!<br /><br />Although open 24 hours, this place ruined our nearly 100% success rate for finding at least edible Chinese breakfast. This is the first time we weren't able to finish at least one item we ordered, and we were hungry! The place was mostly empty when we arrived around 10am on a weekday but I've heard it gets crowded at night. Could that be when the food is cooked properly?!<br /><br />At the Soy Milk King of the World, we ordered you tiao, tien dou jiang, dan bing, and fan tuan for two. I salute you for trying the shao bing you tiao. I have yet to give that a shot.<br /><br />Anyway, at Soy Milk King they should have known we'd post a review with all the pictures I was taking -- at the time it was all in anticipation of a long awaited great meal after travelling thousands of miles. What a major disappointment! <br /><br />The you tiao was probably fried a long time before we got there - eating it was like trying to chew through shoe leather. I usually love dipping the you tiao in the tien dou jiang but that didn't help at all to loosen it up so we gave up on it.<br /><br />The key part of the meal is the soy bean milk right?! Well it was burnt and although I've heard this is the way it's supposed to be I totally disagree. It tasted bitter and had other undescribeable aftertastes.<br /><br />The dan bing was very greasy and basically unedible because it also had a burnt flavor to it. I can't believe I'm the only person who hates overcooked egg flavor.<br /><br />It's hard to ruin fan tuan, but in this case it was made with the same you tiao, and if you don't double-fry you tiao for fan tuan then what you get is a bunch of rice with some dry pork, pickled veggy and shoe leather. This was also inedible so we left most of it on the table.<br /><br />Over the years we've probably eaten at 20 or more of these places all over Taiwan, LA and the SF Bay Area. Many of these were as you mentioned "holier-in-the-wall" than others, and I agree it is really hard to find good quality anywhere in the U.S., but on our recent trip to Singapore and Taiwan we had ok you tiao and tien dou jiang in Singapore in the food court of the Suntec International Convention and Exhibition Centre - the you tiao was crispy, and light (thin) but still oily, and the you tiao wasn't the most flavorful but at least it wasn't burned. <br /><br />On our next trip to Taiwan we will definitely give your suggestion a try...until then we'll continue searching the SF Bay Area for dou jiang / you tiao nirvana. If we find one worth reporting we'll let you know.Ricknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14277482.post-51600317516624263342009-12-18T12:56:52.504+08:002009-12-18T12:56:52.504+08:00i really enjoyed this post! i miss dan bing :( i...i really enjoyed this post! i miss dan bing :( i dunno why i've never tried you tiao though...i'll make sure i check this place (or a similar) place out in march! thanks for the awesome post!brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10817224644101311720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14277482.post-78563570354522171592009-12-16T16:44:06.162+08:002009-12-16T16:44:06.162+08:00The thick green onion shaobing at Fuhang 阜杭 Soy mi...The thick green onion shaobing at Fuhang 阜杭 Soy milk shop are pretty amazing..
