Siglap is definitely the place to go for Yong Tau Foo in Singapore, similar to Ampang in KL. Well, my colleagues and I were nearby at east coast and we thought it's a good idea to have yong tau foo for lunch. After all, this is one famous stall, next to the Siglap Centre, besides the big monsoon longkang (drainage).

Assortment of ytf |
|
fish cakes, lady fingers ... |
|
And noodles in mince meat gravy. |
The noodles were a bit different from those of KL as they use the translucent type or known as 'chu mi fen' translated rough vermicelli and mixed with mince meat in thick gravy. It's unlike those in Malaysia where you can ordered the type of noodles you preferred in laksa or soup or 'dry' type.
That's a great lunch!! :)
It's been a while since I last had YTF... I love the ladies finger and bittergourd.. and chili.. aiyo I love them all! >_<
ReplyDeleteMerryn - Go puchong and jio your sis to eat !
ReplyDeleteAmpang may be famous for YTF but I think nowadays there are nicer YTF elsewhere.. hehe~~
ReplyDeleteSK - I tried the puchong one ... quite nice too and all big big .
Deleteooh so this is the SG style?? the YTF already drizzled with the dark sauce?? hmmm, I still prefer having my sauce separately as dip rather than gravy..
ReplyDeleteSK - that's how they served here. Of course there are some which served with ketchup or chilli.
DeleteI like "chu mi fen" more than the normal meehoon actually.. and that bowl looks good!! and I think SG's "chu mi fen" also different from ours here, theirs more translucent and chewy whereas ours are opaque and soft..
ReplyDeleteSK - yeah , I love it too.
DeleteI clicked on your link only I see this post wor.. It didn't appear on my feed.. Oohhh, for a change - YTF.. I thought Japanese food again, teehee..
ReplyDeletePrincess - no la .... long long once lor for bento.
DeleteSiglap? I used to stay around there - Teluk Kurau...between Katong & Siglap. 1973...so long ago.
ReplyDeleteSTP - yeah ... heard you told me before.
DeleteI love yong tau fu but in soup. Oh, chu mi fen. But take note. Get my cousin to bring me eat when I go to Singapore.
