The latter was what caught my eye some nights ago trying to find dinner at People's Park Complex Food Centre that wasn't 麻辣香锅.

I didn't know it then, but apparently I was very lucky that there wasn't any queue that rainy night! As with all the other yong tau foo stalls in Chinatown area, the ingredients are fixed, so you only have a choice of the serving sizes. The list of ingredients on the board isn't exactly very explanatory anyway, I mean I get that there's minced prawn, pork and bittergourd pieces, but what are "white", "black" and "gold"? 🤔

Despite that muddle, it soon became clear that I made the right decision as every ingredient tasted delightfully fresh and succulent. My favourite was one of the pork pieces that had bits of dried/fried sole fish or 'ti poh' mixed in. The piece that has chopped mushrooms with the minced meat was also very flavourful and mildly crunchy. The $4.50 soupy portion with the thin beehoon and 7 pieces was adequate for a satisfying full meal, and a $5.50 portion grants you two more pieces of the handmade yong tau foo. I was just a little bit taken aback by the bittergourd piece that was a lot more bitter than what I'm used to, so if you're not a fan of that, I think you can request for an alternative.

I should mention also that their handmade meat pastes are available for sale! Something to consider for future steamboat gatherings... #Burpple
