Xiu Ji Ikan Bilis Yong Tau Fu (秀记江鱼仔酿豆腐)

Xiu Ji Ikan Bilis Yong Tau Fu (秀记江鱼仔酿豆腐)

 

 

This stall is too famous that I need not write too much as they receive so many food reviews.  I decided to give it a try despite every time I skip the stall due to the long queue.

You can’t choose the stuff as it is standard.  The dried beehoon will only add the ikan bilis to go with the soup that fill with fishball tau kee, tau pok and beancurd.  Overall, I quite like the food as it is quite cheng cheng (ie not oily).  Soup is very nice too and they are very generous in giving the ikan bilis (it will be nice if they can remove the heads).  Try their fried fish cake which is freshly made.

The Beef House (Syed Alwi Road)

The Beef House (Syed Alwi Road)

This is a hakka stall selling all the Hakka delicacies.  The food here are all handmade by the stall owners, the beef balls, yong tau foo, sson kuey, suan pan zi.

The beef balls are really chewy, with a firm, bouncy texture.  The best beef balls in Singapore.  I tapao for steamboat during Chinese New Year.

Since the closure of the business of the ANN JI at the Mosque street, you hardly able to find hakka YTF with good noodles.  The beef house cook very ggod dried noodles as they mix the minced meat with special sauce.  You do not need to add chili to the noodles.  The Yong Tau Foo are handmade and generally the are qwuite good (though ANN JI is still the best ever which I really miss a lot!!).  Chili is very nice too.

Soon Kuey with good mix of ingridients but I find that the one at Shunfu FC is still better than the Beef House.

Hup Chong Hakka Yong Dou Foo (Toa Payoh)

 

Hup Chong Hakka Yong Dou Foo

This stall have quite good variety of Yong Tau Foo, and quite a number of items are self-made and not from factory supply.  Their famous items are the fried meat ball and diang tau kua (fried and steamed).  Recevied many food rewards and reviews and display on top of the stall.

 

 

I tend to compare this stall with the 喜相逢 at Ang Mo Kio Ave 6 Food Centre #01-23. Blk 724 as both stalls are quite similar in boosting their fried meat ball and the variety of self made items.   I prefer 喜相逢 to Hup Chong as the meat ball are not over fried and more juicy.  The other self made items are also taste better than Hup Chong (tau Kua etc).  Most importantly, 喜相逢 heat up the fried items by frying again before serving while Hup Chong leave it as cold – which make a big difference.

Farrer Park Niang Dou Fu (Cambridge Road Hawker Centre)

The stall is maned by an old couple.  They moved here together with many other stalls when Farrer Park Road Hawker Centre was demolished and made way for MRT construction.

 

 

 

I prefer the soup version as the soup is very tasty with yellow beans and ikan billis cooked for long hours.  Most of the items are home made by uncle.

Ampang Yong Tau Foo (Upper Thompson)

Hakka Ampang Yong Tau Foo

If you are craving for Ampang Yong Tau Foo, there are 2 notable stalls in SIngapore, one is at Upper Thompson (in fact there are 2 stalls here) and one is at East Coast Road.

My preference is the one at East Coast which is more authentic of the one in KL.  However, both the locations are no way near the one at Ampang in KL (especially the tau foo).

Normally I will order extra hu kee (bear curd skin) as this is my favourite.
