A Simple Dinner in Chinatown..

1. Tian Jin Fong Kee 天津冯记 - Steamed Dumplings (Jiao Zi) – 7/10

The fillings consisted of minced pork and chives. Be careful of the hot juicy fillings flowing out when you take the first bite. They could burn your tongue or lips. The proportion of the pork and chives were well balanced. The seasoning of the fillings was so good that it covered up the porky smell. I like to eat the dumplings with thin ginger slices and lots of vinegar.

Fong Kee also offers pan-fried version dumpling – Guo Tie. However, I still prefer the steamed dumplings to the pan-fried version. Reason being that the former was prepared using a healthier cooking method. Like this, you are likely to consume lesser calories and fats from oil.

2. Koo Kee Yong Tow Foo Mee 高记食品 – 7/10

You don’t get to choose the Yong Tow Food items at the stalls. The Koo Kee Yong Tow Foo comes in a standard set – a bowl of Yong Tow Foo soup that comprised of stuffed bean curd with fish paste, soft white bean curd, fried bean curd, fried bean curd skin & fishball and their signature egg noodles topped with minced chicken.

The soup was sweet and tasty while the egg noodles were QQ (springy). It was neither too soft nor hard. You can add the sweet and chilli sauces provide in front of their stall or you may like it the original taste.

Homemade Yong Tau Foo 鸿兴自制酿豆腐, Alexandra Village Food Centre

Homemade Yong Tau Foo?

Seeing many people having Yong Tau Foo when we reached there. Was pondering whether to order the clear soup or laksa base. Finally, we settled for the clear soup since I did not see any one having the laksa.


The Yong Tau Foo items are fixed and already pre-mixed for us. It is unlike from most of other stalls which allow you to select the items yourself and charge you based on the number of items which you have taken.

The meatball is hard on the outside and I cannot feel the real taste of the meat. It seems that too much starch are added to it.

Verdict: 6/10

The noodle texture is chewy (Q-Q) but the alkaine taste (similar to kee chang's) is still quite strong. The sauce added to the noodle is too bland for me but it goes nice with the chilli and sweet sauce.

Verdict: 6/10.

Vegetable salad? The vegetable was scalded with hot boiling water. The added sauce tasted like a kind of fermented bean sauce.

Verdict: 5/10.

This is the full set that costs merely $4. Value for money.
