This yongtaufoo store is similar to many other stores in singapore. What makes it different is that ntuc cardholders gets to enjoy the food at a cheaper price! ($0.30 cheaper). If one orders 6 items, it's usually $3, but ntuc cardholders pay only $2.70!

I like the wide array of vegetables the store boosts! They even sell those items with fish paste in it, and most of it is handmade as i saw the storeowner stuffing the fish paste into some items (eg. bittergourd, brinjal, tofu with fish paste on it, etc.) infront of the store, means it's quite fresh! Furthermore, the restock rate is quite fast as the yongtaufoo store seems to be one of the store with queue during peak hour! I like the soup as i can taste the yellow beans very well. The vege are also very fresh without any yellow-y parts. Although i avoided the fried stuff this time round,
the store also gives a separate bowl for the fried items so it doesnt get soggy if it's dipped into the soup!

One minus point about this store is that one of the employees doesnt seem to be very hygienic. There was a fly flying around the items and when i told him, he just shrug it off and ignored it, allowing the fly to continue landing on some items. EEW. I hope he isnt always like that and luckily, there's other employees around who may are more hygienic than him.

Overall, the fuss-free and relaxed environment, with it's clean and white-washed walls makes one feel right at home there! There also seems to always be a few old folks chatting away at an adjacent table, very hawker-centre-ish but it adds to the liveliness of the place!

The recent opening of their relocated novena branch has met with a small change in price, the only price increase was for adult's lunch which increased by $2, but it is still very affordable.

Weekend : 11:30AM - 11:00PM (NO INTERVALS IN BETWEEN)As usual, we took a lot of meat as it is the most worth it! I love the juicy meat which has its very own unique taste. You can also take as much as you want as its a buffet style. I love the BBQ the meat by myself as I can control its consistency and I can eat it fresh out of the "stove"!
I also enjoy the attentive service that the staff here provides. Once they see an aluminum foil which is close to being charred and toxic, then swiftly change it. I also like how they are able to maneuver the meat and slide it down quickly onto the new aluminum foil.
There's also a very sweet rice drink which is very very addictive! I still crave for the taste everyday since my last visit.

Do bring a change of clothes if you're going somewhere else as this place really stinks up your clothes, unless you want to smell like a walking BBQ stove!
Do also queue earlier than your estimated time of eating as the queue tends to get really long during the lunch hours due to its very cheap and competitive prices for adults!

Everytime I walk pass Baker Talent, I never fail to see a long queue forming. Decided to check out what's the hype about this bread stall that has a queue even at a secluded corner.
The prices of most of the bread range from $0.60 to around $1.50, relatively cheap compared to established brands such as BreadTalk.

I bought the hot dog bread as it just came out from the oven about 1-2 turns before me! I was so excited to finally try this bread and it was indeed astounding! For a simple bread that taste so good and is cheap, it is little wonder why there's a queue. The bread is very soft and it doesn't become very dry and clumpy when you're chewing it. I gobbled it down without seconds and craved for more!

I think there was a really really cheap one which they were promoting, called the butter bomb or something. I shall try that the next time!

This is the ala carte Authentic Shredded Chicken Horfun (soup). They have a dry version of this noodle too. They also have either the ala-cartle for $5.20 or set meal - $6 (which includes either coffee or tea). And it's the best-seller (it's on the very first page of the menu!)

I'm not sure if it's really Authentic Ipoh food but this is really quite good! the soup taste nice and not oily. The chicken skin could be taken off easily and the hor fun is really smooth and soft. The prawn not however not crunchy but that's only a personal preference.
Also, i think the egg is supposed to add to the taste but I couldn't really taste it! Love to have more vegetables too!

This dish is definitely really good and I would love to try the other dishes which hopefully is from ipoh!

On a mission to try all the creative sushi available before the end of the month! Aquamarine: $4.20
This includes the salmon belly wrapped with egg tamago, asparagus and shrimp roe. The sushi tastes quite normal, nothing very creative about it. It is a bit like the salmon handroll except this one has asparagus in it.
You can skip this if you don't have extra stomach space. Jewel Box: $4.20
There's premium BBQ eel, cheese, potato flakes and some fish roe with sesame seeds on top. I like the potato flakes on this sushi! It's really interesting, but I do think that they have a similar sushi called Golden Catch (dory fish instead of BBQ eel)

(They gave us different plates as they said they ran out of the normal polka dot plates they had to give, but the presentation is still there so no worries!)

Once this promotion ends, I believe that I would've found alternatives for these 2 sushis if i ever need to try them again. Then again, I do hope that they put this on the usual menu so that we are able to eat them as and when we like to!

P.S. Doing this review made me realize how costly these sushis are! If i top up about $5-6 more, I could get a full set meal! Perhaps these sushi should be eaten once in awhile only.
