Update :
Ooops...they hid the yong tau foo from being openly displayed in the glass panel counter now.
Therefore chances of you getting fooled are mighty high especially when they lure you with credit card partner tie ups offering attractive discounts

Aaahhh....Hakka food.
When Tesco first opened its doors,I did take a peep at the counter.
Noticed they had yam abacus beads.A dish that signifies prosperity.Good,very good.
Lei cha.Not bad,not bad indeed.
Then I let my eyes trail off to inspect the yong tau foo counter.No No No.
One can already see it came straight from the wet market.Not in the least handmade.
To fall for fishpaste this white and perfectly uniform is to put it plainly .....sheer stupid.They could have bought it at the Greenlane market at 5pm and just quick boiled it for dinner themselves.Or taken the time to deep fry it.
Why these people below complained so much when it was displayed in front of the shop,for all to see is beyond me.It's not as if they hid it behind the counter and pulled a fast one.Plus the menu is at all times placed right smack there for everyone to see.
However,the fact their prices are over the top is indeed cause for concern.
If and when I want to eat the closest rival to great yong tau foo,I head over to butterworth,and satiate my longing at a famous stall reknowned for other dishes except for yong tau foo.
Yes,I would travel far for a mere meal.If not,a weekend jaunt in Ipoh,or go all the way to Ampang New Village.
Those on the island are really plain,tasteless,bad,smell-less, weird,awfully unsatisfying and incomplete. In some other small villages away from the usual places and usual cities,there are hidden little gems which I am most certainly not gonna reveal.Only after YEARS of acquaintance will the new villagers trust you enough,to admit you to their perplexingly well hidden night makan spot,far away from town,right smack in the middle of a jungle.And boy do they make the Ampang version look mediocre.Heaven!
From the way things are going,looks like instead of counting abacus beads all the way to the bank,the boss of ...let's call it H.T., will have to see the bank counting theirs in front of him instead.
Happy reading.
