The name was actually coined by the patrons because the proprietress was quite a beauty in her hey day and later on, they noted that her daughters inherited her looks as well. Now, the daughters of the proprietress are running the business and they have expanded to another branch in the Terengganu Road area.
Their main branch remains at Jelutong, though, in a corner coffee shop directly opposite the Jelutong wet market.

People can see their very familiar pink signboard from far away.

However, their operations are from this pink and yellow truck parked in front of the coffee shop building. There are other stalls operating inside the coffee shop such as sharks fin soup, Taiwanese sausages and laksa.
Their signature dish is the Mat Dou Yao. Translated from Cantonese, it literally means "a little bit of everything". The name for the dish was coined by a famous movie star from Hong Kong when he visited the place.

The above is a later evolution of the dessert that uses milk instead of the usual syrup that is the base for all tong suis.
Mat Dou Yao definitely lives up to its name as there is a little bit of everything inside. Ingredients include jelly, sago, kwan ling gou (herbal jelly), white fungus, ginko nuts, red bean, laichee and longan, to name a few. Customers can add other ingredients like lentils and pineapples by paying a little bit more.
I always ask for more ginko nuts. My favorite ingredient is their sago which I think has been soaked in syrup because they are sweet.
They have other tong suis as well, such as foo chuk and leng chi kang, but customers basically just mix and match whatever they want.
Leng Lui Tong Sui is only open for business in the evenings.
