I love yoo - Nice name but totally different words in Chinese - the phrase "lo yao gui gui (老友鬼鬼)" - means very close buddies but the chinese characters used here 老油鬼鬼 means "old youtiao" because you tiao in Cantonese is 油炸鬼 (deep fried ghost in oil) so the name of the shop is a clever play on chinese words with the same sound (homonym).
Sometimes the queue can get quite long
This place is sort of like my default brunch every Saturday, although is the outlet in Queensbay Mall. Set C (porridge + you tiao + soya bean) + another you tiao extra.. yumss
ReplyDeleteEasy to eat food, good for a quick brunch.
Deleteoh yeah, i agree this would be a nice snack!! i like the soy bean with you tiao, now RM4.60 already ah?? i remember it was less than RM4 when i used to have that set.. and how come i never know they have taufu fah also?? hahaha, me so not observant :p
ReplyDeletePrice went up. You are to busy to look at the menu board, maybe?
Deletehmmm, that's for three person, just nice i would say for a snack before a proper meal.. and who's taking the food with the tray?? too hungry can cannot hold it steadily?? haha~~ just kidding :p
ReplyDeleteHahaha, me with my shaking hands! :D
DeleteBTW, one of my friends told me how he walked passed one of the outlets in a mall early in the morning and saw how they prepare the porridge.. since then i never order their porridge~~ @_@"
ReplyDeleteThanks for the warning! :S
DeleteSK dirty eat dirty fat haha. If we ever see them prepare any kinda food we most probably cannot eat haha
ReplyDeleteNow who are you calling fat, you kim chio? Muahahahahaha!!!!!
DeleteOil fried ghost goes pretty well with kopi 'o' for Bananaz and wud always request them not to cut the oil fried ghost coz love dunking into kopi 'o'. Old habits die hard..;),
ReplyDeleteToo bad this place doesn't serve coffee to go with the you tiao.
DeleteYou mean the servings were really huge, enough to be shared by three?
ReplyDeletePersonally, I'm not into these franchise places - not that they're not nice or what but they're grossly overpriced. Tried one "branded" tofu fua here - RM3.50 for a small bowl...nothing great, same as any other I can get from the local makers...at RM1 only.
Not huge at all. We just eat as snack so eat a little each only. Vety true, price is high because it is located in shopping malls.
DeleteHi Mun! I see you eat out quite often and I enjoy seeing the various dishes you order. I can use as guidance on where to go :) I hardly eat out and am quite blur about the various restaurants and food outlets hah..hah...
ReplyDeleteThank you for dropping by. I am too lazy to cook so I eat out for all my meals, haha.
DeleteI saw a few of these kinda yau char kuey soy milk and porridge place liao.. guess now is the trend.. for light snacks or something.. you eat out everyday ahh? else you wont have so many food post to publish wor everyday..
ReplyDeleteYes I eat out for all my meals. Too lazy to cook.
DeleteAt first I was thinking what is yoo, now I know, haha!
ReplyDeleteHaha, you must have thought that it is a typo, right? ;p
DeleteI look soya milk!!
ReplyDeleteGood to know that you like soy milk. :)
DeleteI just don't like the name of this shop. How to keep saying 'I love you'?? OK I haven't tried not because of the name but bcoz I can get decent YCK at half the price from my market hehehe.
ReplyDeleteNo need to try this when you can get decent yck easily. I agree. :)
Delete老友鬼鬼? Reminds me of an old HK movie, hehe!
ReplyDeleteYes I think they are using that name but with other chinese characters.
