Since 1974, Foong Foong Yong Tau Foo has
become the go-to restaurant for yong tau foo lovers around Ampang. Specialising
only on yong tau foo, this nearly four-decade old restaurant sure knows how to
attract its customers.
Whether you are a regular customer or not,
you must know the correct way to order your food. Don’t bother sitting around
your table waiting to be served. You are going to end up starving. You have to
order your food at the counter and they will broadcast it to the kitchen. You
read that right. They use a microphone to send the orders back in the kitchen.
For first timers and those who have no
clue on what to order, here’s an idea. Just tell the boss holding the
microphone that you want a mixed plate. He will ask you the number of people
eating and will estimate the right portion for you. Your food will be delivered
in 10-minute time. The plate will be filled with colourful mixture of red and
green chillies, lady fingers, egg plants, bitter gourd, tofu, fried tofu rolls
and fish balls.
It is all stuffed with meaty fish and pork
fillings. It will be served with a mild flavoursome stewing gravy sauce to
complete the meal. What you will enjoy most is the the natural flavours of the
vegetables and the mixture of both the fillings and the veggies.
The fact that they made their own yong tau
foo in their kitchen makes this restaurant even more authentic. We all know
that these days people tend to get the paste straight from their suppliers
which can be less authentic from the original Hakka yong tau foo.
After 4 decades of uncountable servings of good Hakka foods, this renowned restaurant never fails to deliver mouth-watering yong tau foo. It's no surprise on why it has remained so popular with locals and visitors alike.
