Craving something sweet after supper? For a proper late-night tong sui run in Kuala Lumpur, head to Hiao Po Tong Shui in Sri Petaling (open until 2am nightly) or Tang Fei Dessert and Tong Yik Dessert, both serving until 1am. Below are all seven KL tong sui shops on our list, sorted by how late you can go, plus what to order and what it costs.
One note before you go: all seven are listed as non-halal in our data, and none holds a halal certificate.
Open past midnight
Hiao Po Tong Shui, Bandar Baru Sri Petaling Hiao Po Tong Shui is the latest-closing shop here, running until 2am every night (from 3pm on weekdays and noon on weekends). Order the red bean soup, thick and slow-cooked with a hint of tangerine peel. Bowls run about RM5 to RM12, so it is an easy add-on after a mamak session.
Tang Fei Dessert, Kuchai Lama If your group can never agree, Tang Fei Dessert has the answer: a nine-in-one sampler box that lines up bubur cha cha, peach gum, snow ice and more. Peach gum with pear is the other signature. It runs from noon to 1am but closes on Wednesdays, and prices range from RM8 to RM30 with the sampler at the top end.
Tong Yik Dessert, Taman Bukit Cheras Tong Yik Dessert is the modern option, open 3:30pm to 1am daily. Think mango "bath" with chewy QQ balls, taro-ball combos and, when the fruit is in season, durian sago. Expect RM8 to RM18 a bowl.
Open till 10pm–midnight
KTZ Food, Kepong Baru KTZ Food is the veteran, with more than a dozen tong sui on the board every day and savoury snacks on the side. The classic is thick black sesame paste with tong yuen (glutinous rice balls). Open daily noon to 11:30pm, RM5 to RM12.
Tiam Yit Diam, Jinjang Selatan Tiam Yit Diam works out of a cosy converted house and only opens Friday to Sunday, 6pm to midnight. Come for home-style tong sui and comfort snacks, and stay a while. Around RM5 to RM15.
LoL Soon Kee Desserts, Setapak At LoL Soon Kee Desserts, get the half-half bowl: peanut paste and black sesame paste swirled side by side like a yin-yang. It is open daily 12:30pm to 10pm, and bowls are a very friendly RM4 to RM9.
Daytime bonus
Poon Gei Tong Shui Sei Ga, Taman Muda Not a late-night stop, but too good to skip. Poon Gei Tong Shui Sei Ga is the paste specialist of Cheras, with stone-smooth black sesame and peanut wu plus barley-and-wheat gandum. It runs 10:30am to 5:30pm and closes on Fridays, so plan an afternoon visit. RM4 to RM8.
Quick picks - Latest finish: Hiao Po (2am) - Best for groups: Tang Fei's sampler box - Cheapest bowl: LoL Soon Kee or Poon Gei, from RM4 - Best paste: Poon Gei by day, KTZ by night - Weekend-only hangout: Tiam Yit Diam
