Dessert | Mat Toh Yau Dessert & Food’s Milky MTY

It is as if a revisit towards the past as we walk back the memory lane for this place. Nearly a year ago, we published a review about this tong sui which happened to be one of our earliest postings then. Fast forward to the present time, we came back again to this leng lui tong sui stall to introduce their latest offering, dubbed “Milky MTY“, which MTY stands for Mat Toh Yau.

Most of us who have patroned this stall will remember this place as leng looi tong sui even though the actual name of the stall is Mat Toh Yau. After all, it was the pretty sisters that used to operate the stall here at Jelutong and at Taman Free Schools (near Caunter Hall) then and the sight of beauties whipping up sweet delicacies seem to be perfect match, right? :) 

If you ever pass by this area, be it day or night, this building will be very attractive and attentive given the colour scheme used on this building which is mostly pink with shades of bright yellow. Even the signboard and mascot of this Mat Toh Yau tong sui is quite cute and adorable. Every passer by can tell you this place is definitely easy to locate, after all this place emits its own radiance while the surroundings are normally placed with normal white lights. 

Even the lighting at the stall is pretty bright and eye catching which can be great crowd puller. This stall is a pioneer in selling cheng poh leong for nearly 20 years but the name Mat Toh Yau was coined in 1996 when a Hong Kong show artiste Hor Sau Sun came to review this stall. Yes, this stall is not just a crowd puller but also a celebrity puller stall.

Mat Toh Yau earned its nick name leng lui tong sui thanks to its pretty daugthers who used to operate the stalls. The name was given by a group of USM students who used to frequent that area. After all, with pretty girls in sight and sweet desserts in the hand and mouth, who can possibly resist the temptation?

The owner, Mrs Ng, has been fortunate to have her children to help out with the stalls that they gradually expand to another branch in Taman Free Schools and also all the way to Klang Valley. The demand for tong sui has been strong and successful that her eldest daughter is running a business of 10 vans in that areas. That is a signifance worth to mention and salute! The Jelutong stall is run by Mrs Ng herself with the help from her daughter-in-law.

The sight of the ingredients showcased on this minivan can easily leave you amazed and at the same time swallowing your salive. Looking at these ingredients, comprised of different colours, shapes and varieties seem like a good blend of “rojak” dessert. Yes, these are all the ingredients you will get in your order of tong sui and we are not kidding either…hehe 

Take a guess of what do you think this ingredient is? Well, it looks like leong fun but it is not. Mrs Ng explained that this black jelly is actually Gui Ling Gao (herbal turtle jelly). Unlike other tong sui stalls that uses cheaper ingredients like leong fun, you will get to taste gui ling gao at Mat Toh Yau tong sui.

The other ingredients used include sago, gingko, longan, red beans, potato, lychee, winter melon and few others. We were told in a bowl of tong sui, it contains a total of 12 ingredients. Yes, that is quite a lot of ingredient types for a bowl of tong sui.

The sight of the ingredients is just too appetizing especially for sweet tooth persons.

Besides gui ling gao , the other specialty ingredient is winter melon which is home made. It uses fresh tang kua (winter melon) which we believe have been soaked with syrup juice from the longan. 

This is the latest offering from Mat Toh Yau, named “Milky MTY“. Judging from the name itself as well as the colour, you can tell the latest offering actually contains milk. Instead of the regular tong sui that filled with longan syrup, Milky MTY uses milk. 

The use of fresh milk actually make this bowl of tong sui highly desirable especially for the ladies. It is quite fragrant and taste nice especially for those who like milk. Also, with the use of fresh milk instead of the syrup that we normally do, we find that this bowl of Milky MTY can be a rather healthy bowl of tong sui with minimal use of sugar.  

This is definitely a good news of health conscious people or those who prefer less sweet desserts. The milk version can be considered quite nutritional as well. The ingredients given were pretty generous as well as it covers the whole bowl till the top. Even with the ice that adding up to the bowl, it is still a good bowl of Milky MTY tong sui. 

The Milky MTY is a new addition for Mat Toh Yau tong sui and recommended for those who prefer an alternative to sugar based tong sui. Each bowl of Milky MTY cost RM4.00. 

The winter melon added into the tong sui is a thumbs up. 

Guo Ling Gao, which is the other specialty ingredient can be quite cooling and healthy which just make this tong sui edging towards healthy dish scale. 

For those who prefer the conventional tong sui minus the milk, you can still order it.

The ingredients are the same as Milky MTY and comes with generous amounts of ingredients as well. Because of the syrup based, some ingredients like potato tends to be a sweeter here than the milk version. Huat Koay feels the potato cannot be blended well due to its extreme sweetness but for Fei Fei being a sweet tooth person, finds the ingredients well blended especially for the milk version.

Oh, did we mention as well, that if you prefer extra sweetness, you can always add honey is which freely available too. The normal version of tong sui costs RM2.50 each while large size one costs RM3.70 per bowl.

Another dessert, the fu chok yee mai (beancurd skin with barley) is also worth trying especially with the beancurd skin being very smooth and soft just like tau fu fah. It also contains pieces of water chestnuts (mah tai) which makes this dessert chewy. A caution though, the fu chok yee mai is slightly sweeter than the tong sui so its good to let them know if you prefer less sweet version.

The latest inclusion of Milky MTY into the Mat Toh Yau’s offering is really something refreshing and unique although the idea is just simple and easy to make. We like the fresh milk used as the syrup based instead of the typical longan syrup and this is indeed much healthier alternative too. Even our female companion finds this version much appealing and fragrant. With this new release to the market, we believe the others will be following closely as well to provide such offering when the demand for milk version gets its popularity.
