Went for job interview in the early morning and while waiting for another interview nearby in the afternoon. I went shop around for a place to rest and of course never the less eating time looking for any nice or special food. Steeping into Amoy street market walking 1whole in the 1st level, I couldn't find any food that I feel of eating and then realized there is the 2nd level of this market with food, went up and surprised there so much good food here with endorsement and den finitely much cleaner compared to 1st level. Perhap something got to with convenient for Singaporean. I decided to eat this Hakka Yong dou fu since it been sometime I eat Yong dou fu and seldom tried Hakka style with this different selection which is mainly made of the carrot ingredient, it seem more healthy and special to me that other usual stall I went to. I selected 5 with a rice and cost less than $5. I surprised with just 20 cent more, u could have the chee cheong fun which I don't think much other stall have like this. I taste the soup as my throat was rather dry and I love it till the last drop. The seasoning was just enough and worth trying. Definitely made it to the endorsement for this stall. The auntie is nice as I am holding iPad on my hand, while passing the money to the auntie , the auntie wait patiently and put everything nicely in the tray for me. The environment and stall is quiet when I went at around 11am luckily but start to have crowd t around 12pm. Logically, it the office person nearby heading here for lunch and the quee is getting longer. The culture of market nearby office tower during lunch time, as usual seeing tissue paper start to chop round the seat. Overall, the price at lvl 2 of this market is clean, price is reasonable for all the recommended food.

Wanted something light and soupy for lunch today, and decided to have yong tau foo at nearby Amoy food centre. I selected 6 pieces of food items (green veg, green chilli, eggplant, beancurd, ladies fingers, etc) + beehoon in soup. It cost me $3.60 (extra $0.20 for takeaways). Seems like the prices have increased in my not-very-long absence.. (used to be about $3.20). The main difference between a Hakka vs the general yong tau foo is that the food is usually stuffed with minced pork (with shreds of carrots & spring onions, etc), and they are fried. Taste wise - I couldn't really tell the difference as there wasn't much meat filling on each piece. Still, the overall taste wasn't too bad. The soup was clear with a nice fragrance of ikan billis and yellow beans.
