'Yong Tau Fu' or sometimes written as 'Yong Tau Foo' or 'Yong Tao Foo' which literally means 'stuffed bean curd' is a popular Chinese dish in Malaysia and Singapore. Of Hakka origin, Yong Tau Fu was first made in 1960s in a restaurant whereby tofu was stuffed with fish or pork paste. Since then, the name Yong Tau Fu is stucked. Serving in a clear broth containing a variety of 'stuffed' and add-on food items, Yong Tau Fu is can be taken by itself alone or can be eaten with noodles or rice. Among the popular vegetables being stuffed are shiitake mushrooms, ladies fingers, bitter gourds, eggplants and chillies. Other add-on like lettuce, cuttlefish, crab sticks, fish balls, meat balls can also be requested to be cooked together in the soup. Sometimes, fried tofu products are also available but being served separately on another plate to ensure its crispiness being retained. And when one is about to eat, they will dip into the soup.
