Yong Tau Fu

Despite being nestled in the deeper parts of Puchong in Batu 14, this yong tau foo restaurant still garners a consistent crowd. Weekends here will guarantee a wait in the snaking queue and, considering its hot location under the sun, we recommend you swing by on quieter weekdays instead. Gather the colleagues for the tasty, pocket-friendly lunch. Yong Tau Foo (RM1.40 a piece) options run from an ultra-crispy fried fuchuk to melt-in-your-mouth soft tofu and positively greasy fried eggplant, all beefed up with their fresh, handmade fish paste. Have these with rice or jazz it up with the establishment's many noodle options — there is Chee Cheong Fun (RM1), Curry Noodles (RM6) and even Pan Mee (RM5.80). For a place that prides itself on its yong tau fu, the pan mee is surprisingly good, swimming in a broth filled with sweet potato leaves. Try also their Bowl Cake (RM1.60), steamed rice cake with preserved radish, set in a yin-yang mixture of sweet and chilli sauce.
