Yong Tau Foo is a Singapore favourite, light on both the stomach and wallet.It is like a potluck of sorts. You pick and choose of various variety, vegetables with fish paste squeezed into them or just plain vegetables. The next selection is whether you want it to served in a soup broth or dry. You round the dish off with a choice of Asian staples of rice or noodles.
At $0.30-$0.50 per piece and most stalls requesting that you order a minimum of SGD2.00 per serving, it is indeed light on your wallet.
Or maybe you might want to treat yourself to what we call "Western Food". We call it "western" because the dish do not include any of the Asian staples like rice or noodles. Usually, it comes with just a piece of meat or fish. "Western Food" is more expensive than your local dish.
A serving of NZ Ribeye Beef Steak like the one above would set you aside by SG12. That's like 6 times the cost of your Yong Tau Foo serving. Cheap compared to restaurant/cafe pricing which can go up as as $50 excluding 7% GST and 10% service charge.
Some stalls save on the greens, but this stall I had my beef steak serve with an abundance of broccoli. The sauce is nice, but it leaves you quite thirsty after the meal. Guess it is the amount of MSG that they might have used to create it.
So what are you having for lunch?
