Food Culture: Yong Tau Foo

Yong Tau Foo is one of the local food that you can find in Singapore at hawker centres, food courts and kopi tiams (coffee shops). 

The staples are vegetables (such as bitter gourd and brinjal) and variations of bean curds stuffed with pork or fish meat paste. Other items on the menu are vegetables per se, cuttlefish, tempeh, potato, fish maw, fish balls, yam, et cetera.

These items are served with rice, noodles, bee hoon or chee cheong fun in clear soup, laksa gravy or tom yam soup.

Here is a sample from Ah Chew's Yong Tau Foo.
