Foong Foong Yong Tau Foo (釀豆腐) @ Ampang KL
Wednesday, January 31, 2007We went to check out the HSL Massive Chinese New Year warehouse clearance sale at Pandan Indah. It is lunch time after finished shopping and we decided to head to Ampang Famous (The Original) Yong Tau Foo 釀豆腐. With our expert navigator, Kevin, we arrived there without any problem and got a nice parking lot just in front of the restaurant.
Mention Ampang, Kuala Lumpur and the locals will inevitably ask if you have tried the Hakka yong taufu (assorted vegetables and bean curd stuffed with fish paste).
This restaurant is very popular with the locals and visitors from as far as Singapore. This restaurant was even voted for having the best yong taufu. During lunchtime, particularly on the weekends, it is always crowded and be prepared to wait.
This restaurant is mainly self-service. Patrons need to scout for their own table before heading for the counter to place their orders. There is hardly any menu. The easy and quickest way is to ask for a mix selection.
The Hakka yong taufu differs from those from other dialect groups in that high-quality, dried, salted fish bits are added to the fish paste. The dish is best eaten dipped with sweet or chili sauce (all homemade of course).
The Yong Tau Foo is priced @ RM0.70/pc. We ordered 40+ pcs and 6 herbal tea and the bill with GST came up to RM39.40.
This restaurant is closed on Tuesday.
