The Family Behind Sembawang's Famous White Beehoon

From a humble hawker stall at Chong Pang Hawker Centre to a six-outlet restaurant chain, the Tay family's white beehoon is known island-wide. Their loyal customer base is their main driving force, and they first expanded to Punggol - where many of their long time patrons (and first-time home owners) could get a plate of beehoon right in their neighbourhood! 🏡
This video was shot before the heightened measures in Phase 2.

You got a very nice dad.... Believed he came from those era.... the school of hard knocks.... But nonetheless he seem like a gentle humorous chap giving the young ones all the support needed. Thks OGS for the share 🙌

[@MsNazzy2325]

I can see the strong and love the father had for his son here. Great achievements comes from strong family ties and love

[@telaga9803]

Very encouraging and patient father plus the hardworking and the spirit of never give up of his son,. The Singapore White beehoon may become one of signature dishes that able to represent the nation.

[@ariel3112]

OMG.... Daddy has so much love for his son..!!! Mmmm... What's going on..? Who's been chopping onions near me?

[@vy5488]

I’ve always heard that chef has fiery temper, but your dad is a great chef and very patient chef, RESPECT!🥰🥰🥰

[@renawong1601]

I'm from the west and i literally love White beehoon! The white been hoon dish is really one of a kind! The other dishes are also not bad! I think everyone should give it a try, 5 star definitely!

[@shifty220]

Love this! Father-son relationship goals 🥰

[@foodleveling]

Very nice family. The white beehoon very popular dish in Singapore. The difference of it between the soup and fresh seafood ingredients. More important the beehoon must fry first until the smell of beehoon burns a bit not only soak in the soup. This Sembawang white beehoon is the real one good taste I Food Leveling

[@adrienwang98]

Just had this for dinner. How timely!

[@shawnhow4163]

Tried their white bee hoon and it's really the best! I went to the Suntec City outlet 2 times and the consistency is really damn good! Really hope you all will do well and wish the White Bee Hoon family good health and everlasting happiness (;

[@KhunAung]

Happy to see both Uncle & his son. I like their beehoon so much and feel happy whenever I eat. No other beehoon tastes like them. Hardcore customer since their first restaurant at Jln Tampang. I also tried almost every outlet around Singapore whenever I got a chance to dropby. My top list to eat when in Singapore 😋

[@wl4304]

Sweet. So comforting for dad and family 🥰 that's what matters after a hard day's work. Beyond 💰

[@frankieteo6659]

Great family.. Happy to see their success in the food business. God Bless and cheers..

[@khaif2784]

Nice bee hoon

[@pangarans]

Heartwarming story .

[@ordeanary87]

Aww that was so wholesome.

[@Andy0770]

I found this after I found out in Urban Hawker NYC.

[@teuwbz]

It's funny how I grew up eating this so I never thought of it as like a "famous" and v good food although it definitely is. I'm just glad that it's part of what makes Sembawang special.

[@MK-zz1dt]

Wah, must try later if no morw lockdown between countries.👍

[@saydulbasyarhasbi7079]

Best white beehoon!

[@paulpxl6999]

This remains me when I was young

Wow love the story behind it. Thanks for sharing

[@merlylaceronavlogs1231]

Very nice white bihon

[@kitracy9375]

Great story and nice food. But GrabFood rider always wait very long!😨😂

[@山下奉文-n8n]

Standard have dropped, and have been using plenty of MSG; servers / waiters also rude in service (was standing and waiting at the counter for my takeaway and there were no patrons in the restaurant (Sun Plaza), my takeaway was actually placed at the counter but everyone was busy talking and laughing with each other, nobody cares.

[@eg1197]

I hate MSG, any places that uses them loose my business.

[@giantlow]

standard drop a lot since the time when they only had 1 outlet. pls do quality control leh

[@vernshang1]

Why u close down Toa Payoh branch?

[@linhandken8916]

the white bee hoon standard at main shop has dropped in the recent years. it was really good when i first had it in 2000. prices has also gone up significantly in the recent years. fnb is like this. people remember the bad things and dont go back again. needs improvement...dont waste your dad's effort.

[@beomgyussandhanitizer997]

Zavier is that you 👀

[@cookingwithlie445]

good mooning

[@kentan4595]

Don't b too ambitious as u hv left the heartland and shifted to atas places....... Just a piece of advice.

[@DavidDavid-yz2sh]

Terrible service, been to sembawang branch and punggol settlement too. Waited for so long for just a pack of bee hoon, best part was it wasn't pack at all only one table of customer. I was standing outside the restaurant. Food is OK but over price to be frank.

[@graciouscross]

Hi Yy

[@ahyapchow2459]

PAPA CHEOUR OUH , SON CHIA YU .

[@perryang5755]

Standard drops, maybe because father never cooked any more.

[@cathdan]

The father is nice. However the son is very arrogant . Remember him saying their business won’t never fail cause is too big

[@leehyunsong7001]

The food have the shape but not the taste. However in the name of tradition Singaporean still patronise it.

[@endangkuntari]

❤👌👍👍👍

[@lynnng88]

To be honest was good at sembawang but when u opened another outlet at waterway point, u really have to look into the quality of ur staffs, ur manager May, nothing but rude and arrogant, vowed to never patronise that outlet again and im glad i nv did

[@Penda0610]

their standard has dropped substantially:(

[@mohamadazri517]

Halal or not

Sayah suka tengok tapi syah tk tau cakap cinah

[@dweeds]

People got weird taste bud. Tried it 2 years ago, at the og stall, it's definitely over priced and the flavour, I feel not enough wok he. And for a seafood dish, I feel its lacking the punch

[@TableTennis-Man]

nothing special to be honest at that price...

[@Jero2012DIY]

Nice meh?? I ate b4.. nothing special at all.. their customer service also terrible.. so Yaya..

[@ss.27]

If you can speak English why do you need to speak Chinese? Does that make you more Singaporean?

Overpriced White Beehoooooonn !

They not target u also, go mcdonald ok

[@MrHahacs57]

@@lastchangdepapa1247 if a hokkien mee taste beehoon is more expensive than Mcd meal, you need to reconsider how much is beehoon is worth again.

@@lastchangdepapa1247 Are you really from Delhi ? Or is it just a random nick. I kinda find it strange that an Indian national would defend white beehoon so much heheh.
