Lontong Kering Rm 5.00
This is my first taste of the dish and immediately love the peanut (kacang) gravy, even though it is a bit oily, just like the gravy for dipping Satay. It was really fragrant and balanced in taste. 

There were long beans, tau kuah (bean curd) and tempeh mixed in the gravy. It is enjoyed together with the rice cubes / chunks. 

The curry chicken wing that came with it was fresh and of a good size. It tasted delicious. 

Clean and comfortable dining space.

Front of the Warong.

Looking at the place from across the road. It is quite obscure. 

Laksa Nyonya  Rm 3.00 
I prefer not to add the lime juice to taste the actual gravy.

This is our second visit to Yong Yong, to continue to try out the other items in the menu. I had to resist ordering my favourite Cendol.

What we like:

Tau Suan 豆爽 Rm 2.50
Mrs Tea like this. Do remember to stir it if it is served with a gooey gravy consistency. It will make it more watery. If the You Tiao 油条 was crispy, it will be better.

Tahu Bakar 烤豆腐 Rm 3.00 /pc
It had the same Rojak sauce but more watery probably due to the veggie in the Tahu / Tau Pok. We still prefer the Rojak (You Tiao 油条) version.

Ice Jelly 文头雪 / 爱玉冰 Rm 4.50
I liked this. It had Sea Coconut 海底椰, Sour Sop 红毛榴莲, cocktail 杂果 and lemon jelly (weak in taste). Squeeze in the lime juice and stir with the ice shavings and syrup beneath to get the right mix. I kept the ingredients in tact for as long as possible, so that I can taste them individually.

What we like:
Cendol 煎露 Rm 3.50 (Both of us like this)

Ice Kacang 红豆冰 Rm 4.50 (average)

Rojak 罗惹 Rm 4.50
We love this and this is the salty version of the Char Kway Bakar (sweet type) from Joo Yee (Tan Kee Pelangi) 彩虹陈记. Besides salty, there is a hint of the Rojak Flower (Torch Ginger) in the heavenly sauce.
They allow customers to choose what they want to be in the Rojak. We only wanted You Char Kway (You Tiao) / Dough Fritters 油条

Friendly Service and clean dining environment.
