Special Yong Tau Foo - Golden Mile FC: Part 5 of 8
Accompanied by: ieatMaMa, iwatch_ueat, genetronic
Got there at almost 3pm and they have sold out most of their items. Aiya! Only able to taste the soup, a few fish balls and Tau Kee (Crispy Bean Sheets). I am not a big Yong Tau Foo man, so I've got to rely on ieatMaMa who loves the stuff to give her opinion.
If you want to eat great food, you have to look for hawkers who are passionate and proud of their heritage and cooking. There are a few types of hawkers nowadays. You have those in the food courts who are hired by a boss to run a stall, they won't know nuts about the food. Then, you have hawker traders who merely buy stuff to sell, like most Tau Hway (Bean Curd) and Ngo Hiang (Prawn Fritters) stalls. Most of the highest rated hawkers are of the third category. They insist on having the best ingredients and most of the time, this means that they have to prepare most of the food from scratch.
So here's the secret of this shop's success. They make their own fish paste and insist on using the traditional Hang Zse Her (Yellow Tail) fish. The fish paste is then used to fill the Capsicums, Brinjal, Tau Pok, Okra etc. The water that the fish paste is soaked in is used to make the soup! Mmmmm, no wonder the soup is so nice. And the fish balls are exceptional! They are not overly bouncy, but have that authentic bite and tastes like unadulterated fish meat, which is what it really is.
Conclusion
Have to come one day to try the full menu! They have over 10 items that they make themselves, and it should not only be really tasty, but quite healthy too! 4/5

Hey, this yang tau foo is not bad. I had tasted it before in the past. Anyway, there is another similar yang tau foo stall located in the hawker centre in crawford lane( close to the immgration office). That stall is not bad, maybe u might wanna have a look....
hey, i used to eat from this stall. the food is very fresh and the quality is much better than the one at the immigration office. we have been eating from this stall for 3 generations, since my ah gong ah ma's time. if you don't believe, try it yourself. you will get the quality you want.
My favourite YTF stall apart from Niu Ji at Chinatown Temp FC next to Outram MRT.
The fish paste is prepare by hand daily and economically-priced too.
Didn't think this YTF was that special. The soup was also quite blend. Hmm, should go try Niu Ji one day. Never know abt it :)
For great soup, I still enjoy Orchard YTF at Cuppage Plaza :)albeit at a higher price.
We had so many food and did not really taste the YTF. This stall is good and come better with the HKM. Nui Ji at Chinatown Smith St HC and the Chinatown Complex stalls are better but different.Both stalls must Q long long hor.
For a first timer eating YTF, it was really not bad!
Still my favourite YTF :) The ingredients are fresh and soup is soooo good i always asks for refills :)
tried it yesterday. there are already more than 20 over orders ahead of mine!their YTF tasted really good!
