酿豆腐 & 猪肠粉 (RM$24.60)!
A Malaysia hawker spread: curry yong tau foo with fried items, and chee cheong fun rice rolls, with teh and soya bean. RM$24.60.
A hawker dinner across the border on our Malaysia trip: 酿豆腐 (yong tau foo) and 猪肠粉 (chee cheong fun), RM$24.60 (around SGD$8.40). 😋
What we had:
- Curry yong tau foo: fried beancurd skin, stuffed beancurd, okra and stuffed pieces in a curry gravy
- Chee cheong fun: rice noodle rolls in sweet dark sauce, plus a plate dressed in curry
- A teh and a soya bean drink
It is always fun eating familiar dishes across the causeway, where they come a little different and a lot cheaper. The yong tau foo here was done curry-style, the fried and stuffed pieces sitting in a rich, savoury curry gravy rather than a clear soup. The fried beancurd skin soaks it up beautifully, turning into little flavour bombs.
The chee cheong fun came two ways: smooth rice noodle rolls in a glossy sweet dark sauce with sesame, and another plate dressed in the curry gravy. Soft, slippery and savoury, the perfect soaking-up partner for the curry.
A teh and a soya bean to wash it down, and the whole spread came to around SGD$8.40, the kind of value that makes a Malaysia food run so worth it.
Overall: 4.6 / 5. 😋👍🏼 Rich curry YTF with curry-soaked beancurd skin and silky chee cheong fun, great value across the border. Would re-visit.
