So everyone was busy with work that day with meetings with very important people that day. I wasn't really involved with that kinda meetings so I decided to head out for lunch on my own and packeting some stuff for two of them. Left for lunch kinda early so I thought I should go and try my luck with the famous Yong Tau Fu over at People's Park food center. Why did I say that I'd try my luck? Well...
Despite the uber long queue, everyday, everytime, the uncles and aunties who take your order are really good at keeping up with the crowd. I don't know how they do it but they seem to be able to find you even if you sit amongst a table of people wearing similar stuff. Well trained, they are!
For 4 bucks, you get a pretty good mix of different yong tau fu pieces. The items are predetermined but I guess you can always ask for "no this" or "no that", not sure why you'd do that BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL SO AWESOME!
Do note that this is the popular yong tau fu stall that doesn't serve you noodles (I believe there is another one at the other end of the hawker center that does so, equally famous/legacy). No, they don't have an "option" for noodles to be added, and I guess I can understand why. So much more effort could be put into make these awesome blend of tofu, minced meat and fairy dust! Plus, it keeps the line moving fast so you don't have to stand in line for too long! If you die die must have your staple, then I suggest grabbing a Chinese mantou from the stalls just outside.
Aside from the smooth yong tau fu pieces, one thing that I believe everyone would agree with me that sets this stall apart from others would be the clear soup base they serve the stuff with. It's very light, refreshing to drink and doesn't hint of MSG spammage! I'd ask for seconds but I'm actually full from that bowl alone :) MUST TRY!
It's located by the end of People's Park Food Center. You can't miss it. Just turn right after you enter from the front.
