Serdang Yong Taufu

Serdang, an intellectual community within an old Chinese settlement. A rather unique place. There, you can see thousands of undergraduate staying in Kampung Baru Seri Kembangan and its surrounding. I was one of them when I first stepped into UPM 10 years ago.

I love Serdang because it has two of my favorite foods, Yong Taufu and Ji BaoKai (paper wrap chicken). Most of the Chinese community there are Hakka. Hakka Yong Taufu has its unique taste with a little pork mix with fish cake.

Serdang has plenty of Yong Taufu stores. The one we went for lunch was hiding deep inside the settlement. Not easy to find, not easy either to draw the map. Those small roads are like cob web. Only spider know how to walk through it. My friend, like a spider, crawling deep inside and lead us to this famous food in Serdang, but not the most delicious one in town.

The shop was converted from a wooden house. All dishes pre-prepared on the table and ready to serve.

Serdang Tong Taufu has fishy and meaty taste. An unique Hakka style of cooking.

Ji BaoKai (paper wrap chicken). I like the appearance as the skin looks like a layer of paper after unwrap it. Unfortunately, it was too salty.

Puchong Yong Tau Fu... Simply the Best

Is Ampang YongTauFu the most famous in Malaysia? I believe so. And I believe most of the people thought so as well. However, I also heard Serdang YongTauFu pretty nice, and Puchong has the finest YongTauFu.

The shop I am going to introduce here locate in Kampung Bahru Puchong and it is call Puchong Yong Tau Fu. It serve the best fish cake in town, at least from my point of view.

I came from the East Cost of Malaysia. The place where we eat keropok lekuk more than potato chips. Our taste for fish food is difference. I love fish cake or fish crackers with strong fish taste. I thought fish cake without the taste of fish means nothing. So, a good fish ball cannot be judged by its texture and appearance only. If you only want a springy ball, why choose fish ball? Squid ball also can right?

The fish cake serve in this Puchong Yong Tau Fu taste fishy, feel fishy and I could feel the real fish texture. I have no problem to wait for almost an hour for my serving. It worth every minutes of waiting.

The stall locate opposite a Chinese primary school, at Puchong Chinese village. Area near Tractor Malaysia and DHL.

See the crowd waiting patiently and I have no complain to wait for my turn at all.

Vegetables served fresh. You pick the raw one in the basket and they will stuff it immediately before cook. Freshly prepared food, worth the wait?

Each table's TongTauFu were stuff at site and cook separately and immediately.

Deep fried egg plant and FuJuk.

This is my favourite. Fish ball soup. I still can not find a proper word to describe it.
