Having a good, healthy and yet a tasty meal are normally not easy to find.
Just like my previous post on the eaters dilemma, it's hard to convince oneself or another on just getting a decent meal.

Well look far no more Singaporeans!

Have a read on my review of this excellent place where they serve traditional Chinese Halal Food. One of Singapore's favourite dish - YONG TAU FU.

History of Yong Tau Fu

The origins of Yong Tau Fu varies, but I would like to believe one which is logical.

Yong Tau Fu originated from the Hakka tribe where they reside in Central China. As they were migratory, some moved to the South where wheat was a bit scarce to make their usual dumplings. So as a substitute, the replaced it with Tofu to make it as the dumpling skins which were then wrapped around the meat and  then boiled it in hot water.
It was an experiment and when they found out that this new dumpling tasted great, they decided to keep it and thus Yong Tau Fu was born.

Thank you to the Hakkas..!

Review

Well at this eatery located in Changi Road, just before the Still Road junction they served probably one of the better Yong Tau Fu's in Singapore.
The pricing are average with different set meals you could choose from or you could go with the traditional ala-carte way of picking and making your own Yong Tau Fu.

What makes or break this dish? In my opinion, it will definitely be the soup and the chili paste or what we call here as "sambal". Slack in this section and all is gone.
But Bagus La Mian Yong Tau Fu excel at both of this and the dish are excellent.
This is a place I would recommend to everyone here, be prepared to wait for about 10mins to get your food served.

The only downside on this premise are that they don't have a proper "made to order" hot drinks. All hot drinks would come from the machine. You have to put your cup underneath it and choose your liking. For someone like me who doe not fancy too much sugar, it will be impossible to order a less sugar Hot Tea.

The type of  Noodles to choose from

Many varieties to choose from, you'll be spoilt for choice

Makan to survive...

Life most difficult choices

There are many types of food in this world.

Food for your soul, food for your body and sometimes food that makes you happy when you are depressed.

It's hard to find something that matches all 3 of the above isn't it?

Mostly food for the soul are normally oily, fattening or just plain sinful to eat but they are heavenly tasty the moment your taste buds are triggered by them.

Food for the body are normally what we eat or train our mind to think that, "Well, this is good for you, eat it" which are normally bland, boring and not easily available.

And the food that makes you happy, well that's the best food definitely. You pig out yourself and stuff all the goodness into you till you fill your hearts out. Kudos..!

Some believe you Eat To Live and others simply Live To Eat.

For me. I sit on the fence going both ways most of the time. I bet many of us does. Isn't it?!!

So what are your favourite indulgence? Why do you like them? Does the costs influence your choice?

Trust me, making a choice is never easy. We eat everyday but are normally faced with a big dilemma every single day.

You don't believe me?

Go out with your missus today and ask her.

"So dear, what/where shall we eat today?"

That my friends.. Are a men's all time Fear Factor question.

Happy weekend. Happy eating. Do not binge. And if your other half decide to take a photo of the food before eating, let it be. She loves her food.
