5 Must Try Yong Tau Foo in Singapore

14:49:00

Yong tau foo is a Hakka Chinese cuisine consisting primarily of tofu that has been filled with either a ground meat mixture or fish paste (surimi). Variation of this food include vegetables and mushrooms stuffed with ground meat or surimi. Yong tau foo is eaten in numerous ways, either dry with a sauce or served as a soup dish.

Traditional Hakka versions of yong tau foo consists of tofu cubes stuffed and heaped with minced meat (usually lamb or pork) and herbs, then fried until golden brown, or sometimes braised. Variations include usage of various condiments, including eggplants, shiitake mushrooms, and bitter melon stuffed with the same meat paste. Traditionally, yong tau foo is served in a clear yellow bean stew along with the bitter melon and shiitake variants.


So now let's me list down 5 must-try yong tau foo in Singapore.


1. Hup Chong Hakka Yong Dou Foo.

Starting out in 1982, Hup Chong Hakka Yong Dou Fu has more than thirty years history of establishment. It now has two branches situated at Lorong 1 and Lorong 8 Toa Payoh respectively. 

They are famous for their sauce and chili, and also the deep fried ngog hiong, meatballs. The chili and the black sauce combined well and the deep fried meatballs is the must-try items. The meat balls sold out fast!

2. My Favourite Cafe Yong Tau Foo.

My Favourite Café Yong Tau Foo stall was the most popular in town!! It attracted a huge number of crowds during lunch time!! Fans of this Yong Tau Foo stall would know they are known for TWO signature items – the handmade meatballs and Korean mushrooms.

The meatballs is a must try items. It was deep fried till crispy while the inner was filled with minced meat. Rather substantial and meaty. Get the freshly fried batch, and you would be in cloud nine. The chilli and sweet sauce was combined well and the chilli was spicy but not overwhelmed.

3. Fu Lin Yong Tau Foo.

Crispy Yong Tofu since 1994 served with secret recipe minced chicken and mushroom broth, coupled with our delicious noodles, one bowl is not enough! The hearty and thick broth is unique and tasty, though it can be a tad salty at times. $6 onwards for a bowl of white noodles with generously doused in their signature minced chicken and mushroom gravy — a secret recipe known by few. The bowl of noodles is accompanied by a wide selection of deep fried items such as you tiao and wantons which soak up the gravy extremely well, and the must try fried fa cai to make it appetisingly salty.

With over 40 different types of Yong Tau Foo to choose from, Xi Xiang Feng is a firm favourite among Ang Mo Kio residents. When you visit, don’t join the long queue straight away, instead pick your items first and hand it over to the friendly uncle. The most popular here is their dry version and the laksa version yong tau foo. Dry version: the chili and sweet sauce combined well with each other, the chili was spicy but not overwhelming.  The ingredients are fresh and tasty. The laksa version: the laksa gravy was thick, spicy and even taste better after you added a spoonful of their special sambal chili in it.
