Yong tau foo, which literally translates to stuffed bean curd, is a traditional Chinese dish, that’s especially common among Hakka Chinese, who are very well represented throughout Singapore. There are many different kinds of yong tau foo, and I think many vendors have their own mix and style.

For the most part, as the name suggests, yong tau foo includes a mixed variety of different stuffed pieces of tofu, which are often paired with minced pork or fish cake paste, and served in a light broth soup. Sometimes the tofu pieces are served alongside a plate of egg noodles seasoned with chili paste, but not all the time. Yong tau foo is what I would consider a lighter meal or snack to eat in Singapore, and it’s a food that’s very soothing and comforting.
