Food: Yong Tau Foo
Waiting Time: 20 minutes

My mom and I went on a food queue today. Yes, a food queue. We decided to go to the food stalls which you had to queue for ages to get your food.

First stop is the Yong Tau Foo stall. If you patronise Pearl's Food Centre long enough, you will also know of another popular stall called Ko Kee Yong Tau Foo. I saw quite a number of people having their lunch from Ko Kee. However today that was not the stall we were targetting.

When we finally arrived at the stall, there was already a long queue. So my mom went to get a table for us, while I started my food queue. I had to wait 20 minutes before I could order 2 bowls of Yong Tau Foo. If you are expecting it to be served with noodles or rice, I'm afraid you have to order it from somewhere else or bring your own. This stall only sells Yong Tau Foo Soup.

Here comes the verdict:
The clear soup is rather normal. Though it could really improve alot more for its taste. The pieces of Yong Tau Foo are really well stuffed with meat and fish paste. The portion served was good value for money. The dipping chilli sauce was not to the liking of my tastebuds. Overall, if you are not pressed for time; you can take some time out to queue for it.



Venue: Mei Heong Yuen Dessert
Food: Mango & Pomelo, Walnut Paste and Peanut Paste

The cold Mango and Pomelo dessert is really nice and refreshing dessert for a warm and humid day. Each spoonful of cold mango puree comes with each pomelo pulp bursting in your mouth. It's really an interesting combination.

Both the Peanut and Walnut are really finely ground to paste. The texture is smooth and light. The sweetness is just nice.

Another dessert they offer is the Water Chestnut Cake. It is made of glutinous rice flour and lots of crunchy bits of water chestnut. The crunchy bits of chestnut adds distinct texture to the softness of the cake.
