Heavenly Yong Tau Fu
by Frectify

Here at Frectify, we have a motto when it comes to food – that is, ‘Never settle for B-grade food’.

 

Why mistreat your tummy when you could have something so much better?

 

There is no denying that we are terribly indulgent people. But understand this, not all things luxurious have to be expensive!

 

A classic example would be one of our all-time favourites, yong tau fu.

 

Okay we know yong tau fu isn’t the type of food anyone would usually pine over.

But we do not kid when it comes to matters of the stomach.

 

Mark our words, it is all serious business to us.

 

In our opinion, the best yong tau fu can be found at ‘Foo Lin Tou Fu Yuan’.

 

Foo Lin has three branches in Singapore. Our most frequented one being the stall in Ion Orchard's Food Opera.

 

The other two outlets are at East Coast Road and Amoy Street.

 

Frectifiers visited Foo Lin’s Siglap branch as it had the widest spread.

 

From bai cai to kang kong , fishcakes to ngoh hiang (local deep fried springroll), just thinking about it again makes us salivate.

 

While we are not going to tell you what to pick out, we will tell you how to have it cooked to taste the best.

 

First, pick your liao (dishes) and ask for them to be fried to perfection and doused in a sticky, fragrant mushroom sauce.

Once you manage to stop yourself from picking out all the food enough to feed an entire third world country, bring the loot to the counter and order your carbohydrate dish.

 

We recommend the thick bee hoon in a soupy version of the mushroom sauce.

 

Why? Oh god! Because the noodles were the absolute perfect accompaniment to each tasty deep fried piece of seaweed chicken or beancurd skin.

 

By the end of our pig out session, all of our bowls were wiped out and sauce, licked clean.

 

Who knew heaven could reside in a piece of tau pok?

 

Each delicious item costs from 60 cents to a dollar.

 

Foo Lin Tou Fu Yuan is located at 721 East Coast Road.
