My family is Hakka and when we came to People's Food Centre for lunch on Sunday, my dad INSISTED that I try the legendary Yong Tau Fu, which only opens for an hour or so at lunch time, selling till they run out of ingredients. We had to queue about 30 mins or so, and when it was finally served to us I was surprised.

My family is Hakka and when we came to People's Food Centre for lunch on Sunday, my dad INSISTED that I try the legendary Yong Tau Fu, which only opens for an hour or so at lunch time, selling till they run out of ingredients. We had to queue about 30 mins or so, and when it was finally served to us I was surprised. I am used to the "modern" yong tau fu; served with noodles/rice, different soups, with a selection of ingredients to choose from. This however, was a fixed ingredient dish with a clear soup and no noodles or rice. My dad explained that this was the original Hakka Yong Tau Fu, and this stall was around even before the establishment of food centres in Singapore. He said it used to cost 80cents a bowl! To be honest, I didn't find anything fantastic about the food. The soup was flavorful, but nothing to rave about. The stuffed tofu, fried items, and fishballs were normal. But I found myself growing to like it as I ate; the combination of the soup and ingredients, plus the chilli+sweet sauce combo sauce, matched each other very well. It was surprisingly filling and "just right" for me, and despite all the fried stuff it didn't feel too oily, probably because it was freshly made. Quite a nice change from the heavy and oily hawker food. I still think that it's something I'm not used to but I would definitely try it again when I go back!
