Special Yong Tau Foo – Golden Mile Food Centre

Got there at almost 3pm and they have sold out most of their items.

Aiya! Only able to taste the soup, a few fish balls and Tau Kee (Crispy Bean Sheets).

I am not a big Yong Tau Foo man, so I’ve got to rely on ieatMaMa who loves the stuff to give her opinion.

If you want to eat great food, you have to look for hawkers who are passionate and proud of their heritage and cooking.

There are a few types of hawkers nowadays. You have those in the food courts who are hired by a boss to run a stall, they won’t know nuts about the food. Then, you have hawker traders who merely buy stuff to sell, like most Tau Hway (Bean Curd) and Ngo Hiang (Prawn Fritters) stalls.

Most of the highest rated hawkers are of the third category. They insist on having the best ingredients and most of the time, this means that they have to prepare most of the food from scratch.

So here’s the secret of this shop’s success. They make their own fish paste and insist on using the traditional Hang Zse Her (Yellow Tail) fish.

The fish paste is then used to fill the Capsicums, Brinjal, Tau Pok, Okra etc.

The water that the fish paste is soaked in is used to make the soup! Mmmmm, no wonder the soup is so nice.

And the fish balls are exceptional! They are not overly bouncy, but have that authentic bite and tastes like unadulterated fish meat, which is what it really is.

Conclusion

Have to come one day to try the full menu! They have over 10 items that they make themselves, and it should not only be really tasty, but quite healthy too!

4/5 (Real Yong Tau Foo enthusiasts may rate it higher)

Granny Chin Chow – Golden Mile Food Centre

Chin-Chow-bowl1.jpg


Just when I thought I was done for the day, (I mean, I had a 7 course lunch that afternoon, albeit shared among 4), I saw this store with the Makansutra label on it with 3 bowls and chopsticks. For those who don’t know, this is their “die-die-must-try” rating. Well, what to do? Die die must try lah! After all, this herbal jelly is supposed to cool you down after eating all that “heaty” stuff.

The original Granny started selling this “cooling” jelly back in 1945. Most of really established hawkers I have spoken to started around this time after WWII. I wonder what people actually ate during the Japanese occupation, Sushi?

I like the texture of the jelly. Unlike the commercial ones that have the consistency of soft agar agar, this one has the consistency more like a nice soya bean curd, but more gelatine like. Soft enough for you to push through the gaps between your teeth. However, it does not really have that strong a “Chin Chow” taste. It reminds me of the Rochor Tau Hway, nice texture, but feel as if they just watered it down and sacrificed taste for texture.

Still it was very enjoyable and a redemption from guilt after all that chilli stuff. At least I have done the right thing and restored my Yin/Yang balance.

Conclusion

I like the texture but a bit more taste would be great. Slightly more expensive then the normal Chin Chow, but definitely will take this again when I come back. 4/5
