Even during off-peak hours, “My Favourite Cafe” on level 6 of Lucky Plaza has people flocking there for their “yong tau fu”. Based on my observation, many of them are foreigners too. I guess the reputation of this eatery has spread far and wide.
The team operates like a well-oiled machine which is great because waiting time is minimised even when the place is crowded.
For those new to #yongtaufu, this is how it works. Once you’ve used the tongs provided to pick the fish paste-stuffed ingredients and other items you like (don’t forget their signature fat, juicy Korean mushrooms and fried meatballs), inform the staff if you want noodles and/or leafy vegetables to be added, as well as your preference for “dry” or “soup”. In the case of the former, ”My Favourite Cafe” differs from others as they only add a dash of garlic oil and a shower of sesame seeds. It is up to you to decide if you want to dress things up further with the maroon-coloured sweet sauce or the orange-hued chilli one. These are provided in plastic tubs on a stand in the middle of the venue. I personally opt for just the chilli.
FYI - they have a second outlet on the second floor of Bugis Cube as well.
