Dependable and delicious: that is what yong tau foo should be. And I'm happy to report that 5 Loaves lives up to my every expectation. They've got a decent variety of fresh vegetables and products stuffed with handmade fish paste, but what really does it for me is the soup - a light, MSG-free broth that is gentle on the palate.

Do make room for the sides like the chee cheong fun or abacus, they are sublime. The abacus seeds were not too hard nor too soft, and the rest of the ingredients were added with a controlled precision so it wouldn't become overly cloying.
