Puchong Yong Tau Fu @ Puchong
Yeah, I know the title sounds weird. But, that’s the name for this famous and delicious yong tau fu restaurant in Puchong, simply “Puchong Yong Tau Fu”. I was actually brought here by my housemate who discovered the restaurant long time ago. Since then, I have been here a couple of times and it could have been more if not for the toll between Puchong and Cyberjaya.
The yong tau fu here is made fresh. Means, you choose the items like brinjals, lady’s fingers (okra), chili and the cook will stuff them with meat after that. I guess it’s safe to say that the yong tau fu here is really fresh and nothing is prepared beforehand.
I don’t know if you noticed, some yong tau fu restaurants already prepared the items earlier. So, when an order is made, they simply deep fry them again. We should insist on fresh food, no?
This is the way I like my yong tau fu, with soup. If you are here, the one thing you must definitely try is the deep fried tofu (tofu pok) sandwiched with pork meat. It’s super crispy! Honestly I was quite surprised that tofu pok can taste so good lol. Shown here is the set the cook customized for four of us. It cost a little under RM10 for each of us.
On my second vist, we ordered the Ji Bao Gai (paper wrapped chicken) If you remembered I said something about Ji Bao Gai being cold, this is it. Too bad, because of that the Ji Bao Gai didn’t score high points for me. I wonder if you could ask the cook to re-heat them or something? I will find out next time OK.
I am not a big fan of brinjals (ai gua) but SL is, it’s her favorite in yong tau fu. So, I only take the meat and leave the brinjals for her, lol.
Here, the restaurant can be easily spotted as it’s located just opposite SK Puchong Batu school. Overall, very nice and highly recommended. Just for clarification that’s not my car OK lol. Try to get here an hour before or after school as the traffic can get a little congested.

Ayam Penyet AP @ AEON Seberang Perai, Penang
about 2 years ago - 4 comments
Ayam Penyet AP, an affordable restaurant serving the delicious and addictive Indonesian cuisine called Ayam Penyet, loosely translated to smashed fried chicken. It is a perfect alternative to the already over-mushroomed kopitiam franchises. Not only the quality is getting worse, portion is getting smaller and prices are always increasing. Imagine, after I finished my cuppa

If this pot looks familiar, it’s either you have read my old post about Sauna Prawns, or you have seen and tasted it before personally. For those uninitiated, Sauna Prawns is a dish where a glass of Carlsberg beer is poured into a pot with heated sauna stones underneath, then immediately followed by a bowl

Located at the heart of PJ, SS2 is Nyonya Restaurant – a three decades old and pork free restaurant serving authentic baba nyonya cuisine since 1974. Although the current owner is the fourth, changes have been minimal and the dishes are still faithfully prepared according to the original chef’s recipes. I like to start off

There aren’t many Japanese restaurants in BM so I am glad that Shunka Japanese Restaurant at Maju Utama Business Centre is a good one. This business centre is also home to a number restaurants and cafes like Bloggers Cafe, Station 1 and Old Town. Currently it is the most popular venue to hang out in

A recent visit to Q Wok Nyonya Curry House at Taman Bayu Mutiara near Autocity had us delighted over the good and affordable home cooked traditional Nyona dishes. Most of the dishes have three sizes from small to medium to large and the pricing is justified for the clean environment as well as an efficient

For a cheap and tasty meal, D Kuang Seafood Restaurant at Kampung Baru (Bukit Mertajam) would be a great choice. Here, a dinner for a family of four would cost only a little over RM50 and you could have five dishes inclusive of seafood, meat and vegetable. Sounds good? Read on. Kung Pao Mantis Prawn

One weekend I met up with a friend at Pu Tien, a Chinese restaurant that serves traditional dishes from the city of the same name in the Fujian province, China. Pu Tien is probably most well known as the birthplace Mazu, the indigenous goddess of the sea. Anyway, the restaurant was having a promotion where
Wahiro Japanese Restaurant @ Roxy Square, Katong

Wahiro is a family run Japanese restaurant located at Roxy Square, Katong that provides authentic Japanese cuisine. The dishes are prepared with fresh air-flown ingredients from Japan at a reasonable price – reasonable in the sense that you get what you paid for. Although the prices are a notch higher than its counterparts, I didn’t

Yummy…
about 4 years ago
Yeah this is my fave YTF place – i love the generous amount of pucuk manis they put in their soup. And you are right – their fried taupok is absolutely yummy. I also didnt like their Chi Pao Gai – lacked taste & cold!
about 4 years ago
Oh~ I been there before, nice to try for their yong tau fo and you can see crowded when dinner time.. I didn’t try on their Ji Bao Gai for my last revisited, it seems bad experience for you huh..
vk: not really bad lah to be honest. just that the ji bao gai was cold. so, next time I will ask them to re-heat for me
Taste wise it is still quite good
about 4 years ago
oh Puchong YTF. the (in?)famous Ji Bao Gai.
seems they sell those by the truckloads right?
pity they were cold.
never been to Puchong area, therefore not really good with directions.
vk: Yeah it was a pity.

If you go there on Saturday (if not mistaken), it’s even more congested as there’s pasar malam nearby.
vk: There’s a pasar malam nearby on Saturdays, but I don’t think it would affect this Yong Tau Fu restaurant? Not too sure though

Like the Yong Tao Fu here very much but have to go there early like before 7pm, if not it’ll be packed.

I don’t know about KL or KL greater area Yong Tou Foo stalls, only tried a stall at Ampang during one of my summer holidays.
Not bad lah, portion is huge but nothing fantastic, I think it’s over rated and over crowded.
The stuffing used in Ipoh version of Yong Tou Foo is the best, fish, tender pork and dried cuttle fish (Diu pin – Canto intonation).
One thing I am sure of is that Ipoh has the best Yong Tou Foo..seriously, I am not biased here..it’s true.
If u ask any gal or guy from Ipoh, they wouldn’t really like any other Yong Tou Foo..
If the memory seves me right, there is this stall near Sam Tet secondary school in Ipoh, it’s called
1. Bentong yu dan fun (Canto intonation) , in Ipoh, when they say yu dan fun fish ball noodles stall, they also mean yong tou foo as well. The stall homemade vinegar-ed chilli paste is to die for and a must to go with their food. They also do small or big ‘dai yun’ (beef ball with tendons and thin ginger slices)… I miss this stall dearly.. oh yes, last but not least, they do fried version of yong tou foo too!
2. Another place, open air…yes, the seating are like on soil and grass patches!Ipoh (no idea where it is, ask the Ipohans in m’sia), I was brought there to savour fried yong tou foo (which is what they are popular with)…
3. in Old town side in Ipoh, the coffee stalls that serves also yu dan fun (Includes yong tou foo), egg tarts, kaya tost, ice cold white coffee, steamed egg custards, etc in the morning during breakkie time…the noise and the coffee aroma are so heart warming (not sure if it’s still like what I have in mind nowadays)…these stalls worth checking out especially in the morning!
4. There is this another shop (air-con), near Ave Maria school, the name includes ‘Nam’, not the previous shops you have been too..
They do yu dan fun(yong tou foo and beef noodle soup included), quite nice too, but pricey..
These are the infos I could share with u now, hope u wil be in Ipoh soon to take good pics of more good quality Ipoh food
Luckily, my dad is Hakka, Yong Tou Foo being a Hakka dish, I still have the blessing to have them overseas..
But, Ipoh ones are still the best (Sorry dad!)
