Kays & I made our bi-monthly pilgrimage to Chinatown to top up on cheap toiletries this morning and we'd planned to try out the "loh-mei" (braised meats) stall at the People's Park hawker centre but for the 2nd time it was closed when we got there! So, instead we headed over to a tried and tested stall - Koo Kee for their Yong Tau Foo noodles. There always seems to be a queue at this stall, which specialises in Hakka-style Yong Tau Foo. For $3.50, you get a bowl of piping hot soup of stuffed tofu accompanied by dry noodles drizzled in garlic and shallot oil and topped with minced chicken meat. Kays had the popular thin noodles while I had kway teow instead.
The soup was tasty yet light, with a hint of sweetness from the fresh fish meat. The sweet and chili dipping sauces added the right tinge of flavours to the stuffed tofu. All in all makes for a satisfying breakfast/ brunch experience! They have a couple of other branches, I think, one in Upper Thomson but this Chinatown stall is the original outlet.
