Zion Road Hawker Centre is one of the gems of hawker food, Newton Hawker Centre and Lau Pat Sat is over-rated honestly. Before the major renovation there was a popular stall selling Ostrich Meat...at nearly $9 per dish it was a luxury years back. Doused in generous black pepper gravy, the meat so tender...pity it's no longer there anymore. I found another reason for me to visit Zion Road Hawker Centre though, yong tau fu!
Yong Tau Fu's a seemingly simple dish to make but not many can pull it off perfectly. Some go into a price war, trying to out price each other, the cheapest being 15 cents but half the usual portion.
I usually like mine with the soup with chilli and sauce.
Chanced upon this yong tau fu stall with a queue! Singaporean's way of discerning whether the dish tastes good is by the queue. Being uniquely singaporean, I followed suit and definitely it's not "the blind following the blind".
40 cents per piece of yong tau fu isn't exactly very cheap nor pricey but the ingredients are fresh. One plus point? The sprinkling of fried anchovies over the soupy dish gives it an added flavour. The crunchy fish made it more tasty than not. They've got the usual fare of bean curd, sausages, kangkong...fish cake, fried egg etc.
I'll be back, for sure!
