Like many people I know, I have fallen prey to Lao Ban's beancurd. Yes I have heard of the looong waiting time but never experienced it myself. I went on a weekday afternoon once and the queue was not too bad. You see A is over-indulging. Whenever I crave for Lao Ban he will get Uncle M to buy. Uncle M will go all the way to Old Airport Road, queue, buy 6 tubs of beancurd and send that precious beancurd to A's office. All I do is wait for my beancurd to arrive and eat them over two days. The process then repeat itself. Simple and painless for me.

Just this morning, my Lao Ban craving hit and we decided to go down ourselves. 5 mins before Lao Ban opened, all was peaceful and quiet. So we lunched.

At noon, 2 July 2011.
And hey! An insidious queue formed during our lunch! It seemed deceivingly ok till we realised that people were buying in bulk. Like 30 to 50 tubs at a go! The hawker center got increasingly hot, stuffy and crowded while Lao Ban's fridge got emptier and emptier!
At 12:45pm, 2 July 2011.
By the time it reached our turn, the fridge on the right got completely wiped out! Why are people buying so many!!?? Finally got my beancurd after braving the heat, fumes from curry puff stall and porky smell drifting out from the famous Blanco court kway chap stall. I even drafted this post while we waited!
I only hope my addiction will ceased soon. Otherwise it will be poor Uncle M braving the heat and crowd again :P

You never describe the tau hway?? Fabulous?
This post is hilarious. Like you, my dad queued for an hour at lunch just last Saturday and the almond flavor (the fridge on the right) got wiped out and he was told to come back at 6pm if he still wants the almond. Got 8 of the original in the end & they were absolutely delicious. This soya beancurd is addictive indeed. It's the new bubble tea.
Seriously Lao ban is over rated. The stall besides it is good and they offer more variety.
Roy: Is very smooth and custard-like. Melts in the mouth.
Ice: Hi Ice! Thanks for dropping by. Ha ha I find myself crazy too. Q for so long. Yeah it is the new bubble tea.
Anony: Oh is it? I heard QQ is not bad. Shall go try.
Singaporean just loves to Q. I always buy from QQ Soyabean instead. It's nicer and very short waiting time! =)
Janelle: Yeah people are always curious about q. oh heard so much on QQ will go try. Thank you :)
heard taman jurong market food centre 3rd floor also has one such stall selling cold beancurd. same taste same texture.
Blk 69 geylang bahru food centre!!...There is 1stall selling cold beancurd...Very friendly boss with full confident of his products..Besides original n almond ,they have durian greentea n sometimes even mango, lychee, strawberry, blueberry!! Try it out ,no regrets!!:)
For me, I frequent Kimly Dessert. Find theirs not as sweet and more tasty. And the best part, No Queues! 1 branch in Marine Parade Food Centre and another in Hong Lim Food Centre... More convenient for me as compare to Old Airport.
