Had a weekday lunch with my fellow colleagues at Fu Lin Bar and Kitchen. They have an interesting and unique concept, being a bar by night and a yong tau foo place by day, both extremely popular in their own right.

The first thing that caught our attention, which definitely cannot be missed, is their interior design. It is well decorated with a special theme that pays homage to the early era of modern China, centered around Chairman Mao memorabilia.

They offer a wide variety of the standard yong tau foo options, which you pick out and pay for immediately afterward. The speed of their service was shockingly fast. No more than five minutes after I returned to my seat, my buzzer rang for me to collect my food.

In that short span of time, they had re-fried the items I picked out, and they were all crispy and piping hot. What makes them stand out, however, is their meat gravy, which is generously blanketed over the yong tau foo and mixed in with the bowl of noodles. The meat gravy had many chunks of meat, with a perfect level of consistency and just the right amount of saltiness.

They are located right in the heart of the CBD, along Telok Ayer Street. As usual for any popular lunch spot in the area, the place becomes extremely packed starting from 11 am onwards, and rightfully so for their excellent food quality, efficient service, and affordable price!
