Jia Yuen Eating House at Tanjong Pagar MRT Exchange

Yong Tau Foo

I've passed by this yong tau foo shop a million times on my way to the fish soup stall next door (120 Maxwell Road #B1-29), but only today did I get the inspiration to stop and try it.

It was better than I was expecting in terms of the quality and range of the ingredients, including a fried tofu skin that was glazed mildly sweet but was airy and fun to eat. I realize now that the Hot Hideout folks probably got their inspiration from yong tau foo stalls.

I liked how they had a tub of shallot oil available, but I should go easy on it given how dangerously large the scoop is. These guys are also known for some kind of creamy salted egg rice that I should try someday.
