Yummy Yummy @ Taman Equine Yong Tau Foo

It was my first visit here although it had been opened for one or two months. Overall, the taste is average, nothing special about except that the dumplings are not bad, tasted fresh and sweet (credits to water chestnut as part of its ingredients). For a little piece of information, the yong tau foo is priced at RM 0.80 per piece.

Yong tau foo ( also spelled yong tao foo, yong tau fu, or yong tau hu ) is a Chinese soup dish with Hakka origins commonly found in Singapore and Malaysia. In Malaysia, the Ampang region of Kuala Lumpur is particularly famous for this dish. Essentially the dish originated in the early 1960s by a restaurant called "Chew Kuan" as tofu stuffed with a meat paste of fish and pork, thereby earning the dish its name "Yong Tau Foo," which means "stuffed bean curd." Since then all variety of vegetables and even fried fritters have been similarly stuffed, and the name Yong Tau Foo has thus been used liberally to apply to foods prepared in this manner.
