Delicious food today at Hey Hawker - featuring Assam Fish (main serving - need to ask not on menu), Pork Belly with rice (blackboard special), chicken flavored rice and taufufa with gula Melaka. Been a while since we went it was a staple during COVID - glad to be back now I remember why we loved it so much here!

I came here a few years ago, and reacted badly to the msg. Since then I stopped coming to Hey until tonight as it was en route from seeing my dad.
I just wanted a quick meal and run. I walked into what seemed like an old kopi diam, with squishy spaces. It was abustle with happy patrons enjoying their meals which I didn't pay much attention to as I was not expecting much, except to confirm my assessment from a million moons ago.
I ordered a hor fun with egg sauce and the weekend special, yong taufu laksa. We got the chopsticks and did the usual clean. Before we knew it, the hor fun arrived. Looked good with generous ingredients and a wok hei flavour about it.
My yong taufu laksa arrived shortly after which was nice and I was gobsmacked! It looked amazing!! And it tasted like no YTL I have ever tasted!! The first thing was the taufu wafer (?), then the full-sized fresh okra, not slimy or squishy but fresh! The fish paste in the YT was generous and so fresh!! Huge large pieces that struggled to fit in my mouth.
The soup was creamy with the coconut, and sambal - authentic. It had the crunch of fresh taugeh and choy sum.
My son also preferred the hor fun compared to other places and he's a connoisseur of HF, with a fussy criteria. I will try that next time.
This should be a 5-star review but I'll reserve that for the next visit.
As we walked out into the balmy carpark, I felt like I could have been back in Asia somewhere. We were done in less than 30 minutes!!!
And to my surprise, all that was less than prices at most places. For the quality and quantity, we're definitely returning!!
Yea, proved wrong!!

Food was nice and fresh, cooked to perfection.
Had few visits in couple of weeks for lunch and dinner, always very crowded and food was hot and delicious, reasonable price and quality makes us go back again and again.
1. Roasted chicken rice and WantanHo with seafood. The rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned, chicken was tender and the skin was crispy. The homemade chili for chicken rice was very good.
2. Claypot Salted Fish with pork was amazing best served with rice.
3. Salted vegetables Mifun soup with deep fried fish fillets were very nice and crispy, but I personally not really like the taste of the fish.
4. Homemade tofufa, sweet and soft, can melt in mouth, this bring me back to my hometown where make good tofufa.

Hiding in the suburbs in a very tiny corner shop lies what rumours say they make pretty good hainanese chicken rice 🍚 So had to check it out for myself. Well the place was pretty packed which is a good sign. Walked in and the place smells like good Asian food.
Ordered the CKT, beef fried rice, radish cake, braised soya pork, 2 meat combination and sang mee egg sauce. The radish cake was 🔥 and probably was the yummiest dish there. The CKT was next with its slight wok hei taste. But was here for the the chicken rice and got to say it was ok. The chicken was moist, the chicken rice was nice, but the soup and chilli sauce was pretty good. Got to say the benchmark for Chicken rice in Perth is still Tak Chee. But this place is recommended for its other dishes as well👌🏼 👍🏽

Location is out of the way and surrounded by an older, run-down strip mall / area with graffiti on walls nearby. I drove past it twice, thinking my GPS had sent me to the wrong location. Plenty of free parking directly outside.
Help yourself to utensils as no table service which is not unusual.
Interesting and authentic menu variety.
I chose a few different dishes from the menu, including their Kope tea/coffee which you can order hot or cold and was nice strength and flavor .
All the dishes were hot and fresh. Although I can not remember all the names, so i have included some pictures. Reasonable presentation. The Appetiser was nice. The curry Laksa had good flavor and mix of chicken and seafood , whereas the other soup was a bit more bland. The other dish was tasty and hot. The radish cake was very tasty, crispy and hot
Not much atmosphere / ambiance but the menu is reasonably large. If you like authentic, then it appears to be the place the locals go as it was half full of customers and others waiting for orders to go.
