Hawker Running Famous Bukit Merah Supper Spot Soon Li Yong Tau Foo Passes Away Suddenly
Soon Li Yong Tau Foo is a well-known fixture in Bukit Merah View Market & Hawker Centre. The very popular supper spot is famous for its good yong tau foo served with ikan bilis soup, and unusual opening hours. It is always open only after midnight, and closes sometime around 3am, though these hours are not exactly fixed.

As much as people love the stall for its comforting food, the experience of buying the yong tau foo also makes the midnight supper run much more fun.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, Soon Li Yong Tau Foo was closed for a prolonged hiatus, and only recently reopened with earlier operating hours starting from around 9pm.
