HI, i'm SHEEREEN FROM 3N2. Last week, i went to the food festival at Clarke quay, i went on a Saturday, so as expected, it was jam packed with people. I decided to try the Yong tau foo. Yong Tau Foo is a dish which originated from Hakka, and it is commonly found in China, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia. The dish is also available in 2 other different types such as the Teochew and Hokkien variations.. It is ubiquitous in Singapore food courts, too. Essentially the dish originated in the early 1960s in 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. However, these days, Yong tau Foo has commonly become halal in Singapore.
