Yong Tau Foo!

While we were at Telok Kurau looking for the supposedly original Katong Laksa, which we did not find, we chanced upon this very "unmodern" restaurant nestled in one of the shophouses.

It was lunchtime and there was a queue after we were done.  There were a few big round tables and if you are eating in 2s or 3s, please share table…

We ordered their specialty yong tau foo and raw fish.  Note that they do not serve rice or noodles.  Jiak liao ma eh ba (hokkien) meaning eating the dishes will also make one full.

Loving the fish-paste-laden yong tau foo.  It's pure fish meat ok…  Very different from those we eat at food courts, hawkers etc where flour is added...

The very fresh raw fish, just with lots of spring onions and some red chills, in a mixture of flavorful oil.

I bought a serving of the abacus seeds (suan pan zi).  Abacus seeds are not easily found these days as they are very tedious to make.  I ate it after about 2 hours and it still tasted fine. 

The 6 items that they sell, not many but it's the quality, not the quantity that matters.

If you are in the East area, it's worth a pop-by for lunch:
