酿豆腐 ($9)!
A big dry yong tau foo plate with bee hoon, mock char siu, braised mushroom, fried beancurd skin, tau kwa and cabbage. $9.
A hearty public-holiday lunch: a big plate of dry 酿豆腐 (yong tau foo) for $9. 😋
What we had:
- Dry yong tau foo with bee hoon: topped with mock char siu, braised mushroom, fried beancurd skin, a slab of tau kwa, cabbage and assorted pieces
This was a generous $9 spread, the kind where you load up the tray and have it done dry over noodles. The base was soft bee hoon tossed in a sweet-savoury sauce, and on top a real pile of bits to work through.
There was plenty of braised mushroom for that deep savouriness, crisp fried beancurd skin soaking up the sauce, slices of red-edged mock char siu, a thick golden slab of tau kwa, and soft cabbage in a bit of chilli. The fun of YTF is exactly this: a tray of textures all on one plate, sweet sauce and a dab of chilli pulling it together.
A bit pricier than a quick bowl, but at $9 for this much variety it eats like a proper meal rather than a snack. Filling, savoury and satisfying.
Overall: 4.5 / 5. 😋👍🏼 A loaded dry YTF plate, all savoury mushroom, crispy beancurd skin and tau kwa over saucy bee hoon. Would re-order.
