The Hakka Yong Tau Fu Homerecipe

I would think this is the most popular stall in this food centre. I was there on a Saturday morning. There was quite a crowd in front of this stall waiting to select or to collect their foods. I waited for about 10 minutes in queue to select my pieces of Yong Tau Fu and waited for another 15 minutes for my food to be ready. Some of the must order items are the fried tau kwa and tau pok stuffed with fish paste and minced meat. It is best eaten with their special sweet sauce and chilli.

Another personal favourite is the fried intestine and stuffed mushroom.

Glad that I could still make it in time just before 12 noon to hit this stall - the items get picked out real fast. In addition to the usual fishcake-stuffed yong tau foo pieces, there are also the minced meat stuffed yong tau foo pieces that are handmade and not pre-ordered from the factory. These are the popular items that are the first to fly off the shelf.

I like to order the dry version of the yong tau foo pieces only, which are presented oh so prettily on a plate. A generous serving of chopped coriander and garlic pieces (fried to a nice brown crisp) are decorated over the pieces. I usually order a side bowl of vegetables in soup to balance the meal (so that it will not be too dry in the end).

The homemade chili sauce is pretty good, even though it used to be even better last time as it was more fiery-hot. Perhaps they have toned it down for the general public? The chili is now more dilute compared to my previous experiences.

Generally, worth a try! By the way, if there are about 7-8 bowls ahead of you, anticipate around a 20 min wait.
It cost me $3.90 for 8 ingredients plus the additional side bowl of vegetables in the soup. Depending on what ingredient you choose, it ranges between 40 cents to 60 cents per piece.

For the lovers of Hakka Yong Tau Fu, this stall is one of the most famous ones in Singapore. It has been well known for its fresh tasting Hakka style Yong Tau Fu. I usually go on Sunday and the waiting time can be crazy. I got to pick what i want to eat then passed it to the friendly Auntie. She will then issued a number tag and you shall wait for it to be called. You can choose to have these items with noodle or with bee hoon. My most favourite items amongst all has to been the tau kwa / tau pok with fishpaste. It tasted so good when eaten with their special chilli and sweet sauce.

Hakka Yong Tau Fu stall at Ghim Moh Hawker Centre #01-14 is very busy during lunch time. The stall sells traditional Hakka Yong Tau Fu pieces. The Yong Tau Fu pieces are fried and can have bean curd, egg, eggplant, pig's intestines, fish ball, yam, and many more. This Yong Tau Fu stall is very nice and have your Yong Tau Fu items with bee hoon or rice. It is their home receipe and their friendly staff that makes people want to come back for more. The food is not expensive and value for money. A bowl of Hakka Yong Tau Fu will costs $2.50-$4 depending on what one orders for their meal. Take note the store normally sells out by 1.30pm.

The Hakka Yong Tau Foo has both dry and soup version. We decided to order the dry version because we felt that the picture will turn out better. The Stuffed Tau Pok (Stuffed Fried Tofu) was really crunchy and flavourful but the minced meat filling was a bit salty . My friend shared with me that people usually ordered the soup version. Maybe the soup version helps to balance the saltiness and make it a more balanced dish.

This is the first time I have eaten Hakka Yong Tau Fu. When we go to Ghim Moh market, my parents would eat there and I would eat something else. This time, I decided to try it since my parents always said it was nice. My meal consisted of 5 ingredients, including vegetables, fishball and many other usual dishes one would choose. My mum chose it for me. When the food came, I immediately consumed it. Well, it was alright. The soup was rather nice. The dishes were quite tasty. Yummy meal, but normal. Still, I liked it and I don't mind eating that the next time I go to Ghim Moh market.

It has been sometime since I last ate from this stall. I used to come here pretty often when my kids were younger. I like the fried selections that they offer. My usual selections are fishball, half egg with fish paste, capsicium, chilli and bitter gourd. I like to order bee hoon dry so that the fried stuffs would not be soaked in the soup and become soggy. But if you ordered more than 7 pieces, they would put your selections in a seperate plate if you order the soup one.
I never like the sweet sauce in Yong Tau Fu, so I always added chilli only. The chilli from this stall is very nice and special, not the same as the usual Yong Tau Fu.Very delicious. Must try.

Has been eating at this stall for some time and will not give it a miss if I'm at this area. Their selections are wide and the yong tau fu are divided into 2 portions, the usual with fish paste and the Hakka kind are the ones coated with meat paste, and is my favourite. I usually have it dried and the mee hoon in soup so to savour both options in one go. It's really good as they even garnished the finishings with fresh minced garlic and lots of corrainder leaves.

For those that stay in the west and for those working near there would most probably heard or have tried this famous Hakka Yong Tau Foo in this food centre. This stall has been around for many many years now.

And, this has been an usual favorite whenever i am craving for Hakka Yong Tau Foo even till now.

I started eating at this stall when i was staying in Holland and working near there. I am always here with my colleagues for lunch or with my family for breakfast during weekends.

The waiting time is pretty intense particularly during the lunch and weekends. You are expected to pick the items of your choice and when you handed them over to the nice Auntie for cooking, you will be issued a number. Then, you are to hang around that area waiting for your number to be called. If it is during their peak periods, the waiting time can be 30 minutes or so.

The Yong Tau Foo items served dry with the sweet sauce and chilli and with your choice of bee hoon or noodle in a separate bowl. My favorite has always been the tau pok and tau kwa with fish paste filling.

Strongly recommended.
