Yong Tau Foo – the perfect dish for a Low-Carb Diet

I’ve been on the hunt for good Yong Tau Foo ever since going on a low-carb diet. It’s one of the few hawker dishes I can enjoy without sacrificing taste or satisfaction!

So when my makan kaki told me he’d found his best Yong Tau Foo ever, I didn’t hesitate to make my way to Margaret Drive Food Centre to see if it lived up to the hype.

And boy, did the Yong Tau Foo deliver!

Every Piece Packed with Flavour

Each piece was packed with a rich, flavourful pork filling. Everyone bursting with umami from a perfect blend of salted fish and fried sole fish (ti poh).

The salted fish was subtle. It’s just enough to add depth without being overpowering. So if you’re not a fan of strong, funky flavors, you have nothing to worry about.

At $1.30 a piece, it was excellent value considering the generous size of each piece! 4.5/5

Hakka Yong Tau Foo’s Rising Popularity!

It’s great to see more stalls bringing back the Hakka-style Yong Tau Foo with its signature minced pork filling. There was a time, especially after the swine flu scare years ago, most stalls switched to serving just fish paste fillings.

But lately, the traditional Hakka Yong Tau Foo is making a strong comeback!
