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

Ah Dong Teh House



Hey people!
I am back.. And I apologize as it has been quite some time since I update my blog. 

So let's start where I have paused... Makan..!!!

Tuck away in a corner where not many people know nestled in Punggol, there is a nice little area called Tebing Lane where a few local eateries are situated at. And this time round, my food adventure brings me to this local delight called "Ah Dong Teh House". (Halal)



This place served local & western dishes but the main attraction got to be their DIY Ice Kacang. This is a local version of Chocolate Fondue where you get to mix & match your own Ice Kacang concoction to your own liking. If it's your birthday, they would throw in the giant sized DIY Ice Kacang for free! Yes free.. (You bloody Singaporeans) Haha.. :)

While there are many dishes to choose from, I got to savour some of them below.


Chicken Curry Noodle
Ok people.. Go and order this. You will love this, trust me. It's not as what the photo on the menu shows but it's better. (Photo shows a dry version while the actual comes with gravy and all)




XO Fried Rice c/w Cucumber & Pineapple Achar
Nothing fancies me in this dish. The XO sauce doesn't really surface up and the taste gets saltier as I reach the bottom of the bowl. I stopped eating two-thirds into it as I couldn't chow it anymore.




Garlic Butter Mussels
Ahh.. Nothing can go wrong with this dish. Perhaps something missing is the tangy flavour from the lemon, or could be the lack of it. I felt "jelak" halfway through it.




DIY Ice Kacang
Something you must try if you love this local dessert. Some call it the King of Local Dessert. Pour it, throw it in, stir it, mash it up.. It's up to you. You are your own dessert chef here. All of the toppings & syrup will be served separate and you decide what you one..
