Formerly known as Kim Soya Bean, the stall has since rebranded as Uncle Bean but it remains in the same spot, still serving its well-loved soya milk and tau fu fah.
Uncle Bean soya milk is all about freshness and simplicity. Made daily, it has a silky-smooth texture and natural soy aroma, balancing light creaminess with clean refreshment.
I tried both the white sugar and brown sugar versions. While the white sugar had that familiar, comforting sweetness, the brown sugar stole the show. It added a deeper, caramel-like richness, making every sip extra satisfying. Served cold, it was the ultimate way to beat the heat while strolling through Petaling Street ใRM3.60 / Bottle

Maybe not worth a special detour, but when you inadvertently find yourself in Petaling Street because you were an under-researched tourist (guilty), remember to try this queue-plagued stall.

The ๐๐ผ๐๐ฎ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐๐ฟ๐ฑ (RM1.80) was silky smooth and slid down my throat effortlessly after bouncing vivaciously between the walls of my mouth.

The ginger-tinged brown sugar made it delightfully addictive, infusing a good dose of sweetness and ginger fragrance. Maybe I would have preferred a more subdued ginger pungency, but I appreciated the complexity it brought to this popular #streetfood.

Find this soya bean stall situated right opposite Madam Tang Muah Cheeโs cart. Thereโs always a line for the drinks, but the queue moves fast, so get your order ready. Go for the silky smooth Tau Fu Fah (RM1.80) drizzled with a sweet gingery brown syrup thatโs a match made in heaven with the warm soybean pudding. Pro tip: Burppler Esther Seletyn Chai says you can have it drizzled in soya milk too. On hot days, you canโt go wrong with the simple Soya Bean (RM1.80), or the Soya Bean + Cincau (RM1.80).
Not-too-sweet soya bean with white sugar โ they moved too fast for me to ask for brown sugar โ thatโs a must-have to sip on when in Petaling Street. Thereโs also a soya cincau option!
I came on a Thursday afternoon and it was a completely different stall โ Uncle Bean written on a yellow signboard. But I came back the next day and it was Kim Soya Bean! He tells me they (Kim) operates 7 days a week tho โ still confused but glad to have finally had this! Was not expecting hot tau fu fa but this was very nice. More creamy with a denser consistency, the soy curd is super smooth. Especially loved the gingery brown sugar poured over.
