There are times that a good-tasting cold dessert doesn’t have to be elaborate or complicated. And this is especially true for longan tofu. This cooling dessert is pretty much self-explanatory, where it combines canned longan fruits and tofu cubes made from soymilk with longan juice. As simple as it may seem, longan tofu is sweet and refreshing and given our erratic local weather these days, it is undoubtedly a perfect combo too. So, if you are looking to satisfy your craving, here are the 5 Recommended Dessert Spots For Longan Tofu in Klang Valley.
1) Soon Kee Herbal House
Beyond its simple and unassuming shop lot, Soon Kee Herbal House remains the go-to dessert place if you are craving good longan tofu. It may look like a simple combination of longan and tofu cubes with longan juice. But it sure feels both refreshing and cooling upon each spoonful, which in turn, makes this longan tofu dessert perfect enough to be enjoyed during hot weather. Keep in mind their longan tofu sells out fast since most customers usually purchase a few of them at once. Soon Kee Herbal House (or Kedai Herba Soon Kee) can be found at Pandan Indah, which is just beside the corner lot of Kheong Kee Bak Kut Teh restaurant.
Address: 70, Jalan Pandan Indah 4/6b, Pandan Indah, 55100 Kuala Lumpur.
2) LOL SOON KEE Desserts
I remember I first encountered LOL SOON KEE Desserts at Taman Setapak when I used to frequent A Plus Nasi Lemak House years ago. For the latter, it’s kind of a pity that according to my recent Google search, my favourite go-to nasi lemak place has been permanently closed. LOL SOON KEE Desserts actually has a few branches, namely Solaris Mont Kiara, EkoCheras Mall and The Waterfront @ Desa ParkCity. The latter is where I get to taste their longan tofu — apparently one of LOL SOON KEE Desserts’ bestsellers that comes highly recommended. It’s refreshing and sweet but not thankfully, not cloying. Just nice enough with all the combination of longan, tofu cubes and longan juice.

(Plaza Prima Setapak) B-G-16, Jalan Prima Setapak 5, Taman Setapak, 53300 Kuala Lumpur.

3) Yum Thong Sui
The name of the shop says it all, where their speciality lies in selling preservatives-free assorted tong sui desserts. Among their most popular desserts turn out to be their top-selling Longan Tofu consisting of longan with milk and tofu cubes. It has a nice milky taste combined with the sweetness of juicy longan fruits and the jelly-like texture of tofu cubes. You can locate Yum Thong Sui in various branches around KL and Selangor, namely Sunway Velocity and Jaya One.

4) Sik Thong Ba
Located at Jalan Dataran Cheras 2 in Balakong, Sik Thong Ba specialises in both traditional and modern desserts, covering tau fu fah (soybean/tofu pudding) and others like Ginger Sweet Potato Soup, Mango Sago and Herbal Jelly. Those who prefer the refreshing taste of longan tofu can get it from here as well. Their longan tofu isn’t overly sweet while the texture of tofu cubes are both soft and bouncy upon biting them. Coupled with the juiciness of the longan fruits, it’s a tasty cold dessert worth ordering if you happen to be around the Balakong neighbourhood.
Address: 36-1, Jalan Dataran Cheras 2, Cheras Traders Centre, Pekan Batu 9, Balakong, 43200 Selangor.
5) The Soybean Factory
Fans of soymilk might be familiar with The Soybean Factory, given its popularity for serving Insta-friendly, yet healthy soybean-based desserts for the younger generation. And by healthy, we mean The Soybean Factory only uses the best quality non-GMO Canadian soybeans. Their menu is diverse but let’s focus on their longan tofu selections. If you prefer a basic version, they have a choice of usual or pandan tau fu fah as the base. You can choose up to six different toppings including the likes of longan, sweet/purple potato balls, taro balls and/or red bean, just to name a few. Finally, you can even pick your preferred sugar type regardless of white, brown or ginger red date varieties.
Alternatively, why not try their unique longan tofu creation called Summer Hawaii? A cooling dessert ideal for overcoming our country’s sweltering heat every now and then, Summer Hawaii consists of longan fruits with soymilk jelly cubes, cincau and lemon slices in longan juice.
The Soybean Factory has a few branches around the Klang Valley area, covering the likes of Kepong, SS2 PJ and Taman Connaught in Cheras.
