Special Chilli Yong Tau Foo – Cheap Yong Tau Foo With A Unique Chilli Sauce

Special Chilli Yong Tau Foo is known for their special chilli sauce. But, is that the only reason why they’re special? The first time my colleague came here, it was only 10.30 am, but they were already sold out. Hence, I made it a point to go there extra early.

Despite my early arrival, the bucket of chilli sauce was already running out. SMH.

I immediately made my way to pick out the ingredients for my bowl. There were so many fresh items on display. When I passed my bowl to the uncle, he took it from me and told me he’ll bring it to me later.

After awhile, another uncle ambled over with my yong tau foo in hand. I didn’t even tell them my table number or anything, just the general direction where my table was at. Somehow, they remembered my face. Amazing.

This bowl of dry yong tau foo amounted to just $3.90! And here I was, expecting it to be at least $5 as I took quite a few ingredients, some of them more premium than others. The bowl of noodles came with the chilli sauce. Give the noodles a good toss and dig in!

The noodles were nicely coated with the sauce (it clung onto the noodles very well) and thus were very flavourful. The chilli tasted like a mix of sweet yong tau foo sauce and yong tau foo chilli. The chilli lent some heat but it was manageable and very shiok to eat. The sauce just went well with everything. I can see why it’s so special.

Even the bitter gourd, which is usually unpalatable to me, tasted great.

There is no minimum amount of ingredients you have to take, so you can grab as few or as many as you want. $2.90 for a bowl of yong tau foo with five items and soup? I think it will be tough to find a better deal.

The soup set comes with a small saucer of their special chilli for you to dip your ingredients in. I prefer the dry version to be honest, as everything comes coated in the sauce.

However, if you don’t feel like having the chilli on everything, the soup set is great for you as you can control how much chilli you’re getting on your tau kwa. The soup was pretty much your standard yong tau foo soup, but less oily and cleaner tasting than most.

Even without the special chilli, the price point of the yong tau foo makes this such a great find. Do come early (preferably before lunchtime), else you’ll be looking at a shuttered stall!
