[Non-halal] Hooray, Yuen Ting Street Food has reopened at its new location in Seapark PJ.
If you follow us long enough, you’ll know that the ham chim peng at Yuen Ting was our favourite for many years. See our previous post here.
However, the restaurant shuttered in Sept 2023 – and it took a year for them to reopen at its new location.
Yuen Ting Street Food in Seapark
Yuen Ting Restaurant was one of our favourite spots to get ham chim peng, cakoi and tong sui in Seapark PJ.
This restaurant used to be located opposite the Seapark wet market, and close to the popular Bumbung Nasi Lemak.
During the pandemic, we used to tapau the snacks home whenever we did our grocery run in the area.
To our dismay, Yuen Ting shuttered in Sept 2023. But fast-forward to Sept 2024 – the restaurant has reopened in a new shoplot just behind its old spot.
To be sure, the new Yuen Ting Street Food is located just opposite Nasi Lemak Botak and two doors away from Paramount Kopitiam (where we also like to get tong sui – see our post here). It is only a minute from the old location.
A brand new spanking spot
The new location is certainly an upgrade from the old spot. There are more tables for dine-in here, and the air-condition makes for a very good space for families to enjoy their food.
In fact, there were a lot of seniors (i.e aunties and uncles) having their afternoon tea when we visited this place.
An expanded menu
Despite the upgrade, prices here remained reasonable.
The Red Bean Paste Pancake (aka ham chim peng) is now priced at RM1.80 (big with lots of red bean filling), and Fried Thai Mini Bread Stick (aka Ma Keok) is priced at RM1.60. This was only about 20 sen higher since we last visited.
Yuen Ting Street Food also appears to have expanded their menu, we reckon.
New items (to our knowledge) include HK-Style Zhaliang (RM5) which is cakoi wrapped in cheong fun, Indian-Style Rojak (RM7.50), Mushroom Chee Cheong Fun (RM7.50) and Cendol (RM5.50).
Yuen Ting still serves the classic tong sui here such as Red Bean Glutinous Rice (RM5.50), Mak Zuk (RM5.50) and Bubur Cha Cha (RM6.50).
Still the best Ham Chim Peng
We are happy to report that Ham Chim Peng remains the best in our books.
The pastry is always served hot, not overly greasy or fried with lots of red bean filling that’s not too sweet.
The texture of the red bean paste is satisfying, and the pastry is consistently puffy as well.
The Prawn Fritters (RM2) were excellent too – crispy with enough fried prawns as filling.
Beancurd Skin Ginkgo Nut Barley
Our preference for a good Beancurd Ginkgo Barley (RM5.50) is one that’s not too thick as we don’t like too much starch in our dessert.
This one was really up our alley as it’s not too sweet, not too thick with enough fragrance from beancurd and barley, and a generous amount of gingko nuts.
The Soy Bean Drink here was also very flavourful with just the right amount of sugar i.e. not too sweet.
Indian Rojak
However, we were not too impressed by the Indian Rojak (RM5).
While the portion was really generous and the ingredients were fresh – we wished the gravy was a bit more “nutty”.

Yes – we like Yuen Ting Street Food, and the word is RECOMMENDED!
