Your realistic choices collapse to mamak suppers, fast food counters or whatever a vending machine can offer. A hot bowl of proper Chinese tong sui at that hour is genuinely uncommon — which is exactly why a late-night dessert shop deserves more than a rushed takeaway. Treat it as the centrepiece of a neighbourhood crawl instead.\n\n## Why Hey Yi Dessert Is the Anchor\n\nThis is an editorial suggestion rather than any official ranking, chosen because of its unusual hours and menu depth. [Hey Yi Dessert](https:\u002F\u002Fmalaysiafoodandtravel.com\u002Fhey-yi-dessert-review-traditional-chinese-tong-sui-kepong-2am\u002F) is a growing chain with seven Klang Valley outlets. Most branches wind down at midnight or 1am, but two push well past the usual closing time: the Cheras and Kepong outlets stay open until 2am. Those two branches make the most natural endpoints for an after-dark dessert run — Kepong for anyone ending the night in north-west KL, Cheras for the south-east.\n\nThe Kepong branch is located at Desa Kepong'Gi, on Jalan Rimbunan Teratai 4 in Kepong, Kuala Lumpur. Published hours are 5pm to 2am on weekdays and 2pm to 2am on weekends — so this is strictly a supper destination, not an afternoon one. The outlet is also described as pork-free, a practical detail for mixed groups deciding where everyone can eat comfortably.\n\n## A Menu Built to Preserve Family Recipes\n\nHey Yi lists more than 80 old-school Chinese desserts. Co-founder Charis Ching has explained that the unusually wide menu exists to keep her family's recipes alive and to share them with a broader community. The nostalgia is deliberate: metal stools and patterned ceramic tiles drawn from Hong Kong cha chaan tengs give the room an 80s character that reviewers describe as authentic rather than costume-like. It is the kind of space that rewards sitting down slowly and sharing bowls, not queuing for a cup in a hurry.\n\n## Two Paths Through an 80-Item Menu\n\nFaced with 80 options, the simplest strategy is to split your order along a single line: warm and comforting, or cold and bright.\n\n**The warm, soothing side:**\n\n- **Bubur Cha Cha (RM6.90)** — the bestseller and the staff recommendation. A creamy, warm coconut-milk dessert with a pronounced pandan aroma and soft, chewy pieces of taro and sweet potato. The consensus first order.\n- **Sesame Soup + Milky Mochi (RM7.90)** — deep, nutty and earthy, with a faintly smoky smoothness from roasted sesame seeds, matched with tender mochi. A good choice when you want less sugar.\n- **Almond Soup (RM8.90)** — silky and fragrant, and a gentle palate cleanser after a rich dinner.\n\n**The chilled, fruity side:**\n\n- **Mango & Grapefruits Coconut Milk Sago (RM13.90)** — sweet mango against tart grapefruit, bound by creamy coconut milk and bouncy sago. The refreshing counterpoint to the warm bowls.\n- **Gui Ling Gao Milk (RM15.90)** — the boldest pick: a turtle-shaped medicinal jelly, made without actual turtle shell, floated in milk with chewy taro balls. Bittersweet and herbal, softened by the milk.\n\nFor a table of three or four, a balanced round looks like this: one warm coconut-milk bowl, one nutty soup, one cold sago, and the Gui Ling Gao Milk for whoever in the group likes to experiment.\n\n## Planning the Crawl\n\nSince Kepong and Cheras are the two branches running until 2am, position them as the final stop of the night rather than a waypoint. Confirm hours before setting out — weekday opening at Kepong starts at 5pm, so plan dinner elsewhere first. The quiet pleasure at stake is simple and rare: a hot, fragrant bowl of tong sui at an hour when the alternatives are usually deep-fried and wrapped in paper.\n\n*Visual note: this AI-generated illustration is not a photograph from a visit to the listed venues.*\n\n## Sources\n\n- [This Kepong dessert shop oozes 80’s vibes & serves 80+ types of old school Chinese desserts](https:\u002F\u002Fmalaysiafoodandtravel.com\u002Fhey-yi-dessert-review-traditional-chinese-tong-sui-kepong-2am\u002F) - Malaysia Food & Travel.","Malaysia Authentic","food-drink","Kepong, Kuala Lumpur","Hey Yi Dessert: 2am Tong Sui in Kepong and Cheras","https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.malaysiaauthentic.com\u002Fblog\u002Fai\u002F125847ee-bf54-4495-9284-40f463089e3e.jpg","AI illustration: Warm Bubur Cha Cha with taro and sweet potato in creamy pandan coconut milk, served in a retro-tiled dessert shop",[18,21,24,27],{"answer":19,"question":20},"Of the chain's seven Klang Valley outlets, most close at midnight or 1am.
