Foy Yin Vegetarian Food - Yio Chu Kang

Foy Yin is one of those classic olden style vegetarian stalls, which have been around seemingly forever and have built up a local die hard following of customers, who have been visiting their stall for the majority of their lifetime.  How long has these stall been at block 628 exactly?  It has been over 25 years now.  This stall even survived a quite horrendous fire, which occurred at this hawker centre some years ago.  Perhaps it is safe to say this stall is indestructible.  Foy Yin is most know for its classic bee hoon and dishes.  But this stall has a variety of interesting dishes throughout the week.  For example, they serve a non-mock meat duck rice (using mushroom head) and they do occasionally sell dishes like prawn noodle, lei cha and hokkien mee also.  These dishes don't have a fixed serving day, so it is difficult to predict what will be sold on what day.

This ah ma was selecting the ingredients she would like to have included along side her bee hoon.
So here is my plate of Bee Hoon and Dishes.  As you can see, I selected broccoli/cauliflower, tofu and mock char siew.  Sometimes I find it a little difficult to write about rice/bee hoon and dishes, as most stalls are pretty much selling the same types of dishes, all cooked the same way - That is the case for Foy Yin as well.  All the food is cooked well, but frankly it is just the same type of food you can expect in all the typical vegetarian rice/bee hoon and dishes stalls.  Unfortunately other more glamorous dishes were not available when I visited.

Price: $3.00.     6/10


Conclusion - I believe what makes Foy Yin so special is the bond the staff have with their regular customers.  As I was sitting there eating my bee hoon, it was clear to see that most customers eating there are long time regulars.  I would certainly be curious to go back on days where they have more interesting dishes available.
