Army Half Marathon,

Tomorrow is Army Half Marathon! Nothing to be excited about, cos i joined non-competitive and its a quarter of a marathon... What is 10km to foodiegymmie! HAHA. So "Zuai" right... whahahhaha... just kidding! But I feel like going to the gym instead of running 10km... =| *confused*.

Since its a non-competitive FUN run, I will make sure its fun... by making sure that I am right in front of all the fun-run runners at the start point, and I will chiong as long as I can to make sure that Im the first few... lol... I hope that since the non-competitive runners are not so hiong, and will be more relac and let me stay in front of them la... Last time join 21km competitive, everyone so "garang" and i was in front initially, but then slowly slowly the further I am from the front! Hopefully tml they relac relac run, so that i can be in front! hehe...

My last Yong Tau Hu entry for this month!

I promise that this will be my last YTH entry, before you guys start to get sick of my blog! I solemnly promise... = D

Seng Heng Family Restaurant - Its not even a direct translation from the chinese wordings on it signboard. It should be called Seng Heng Niang Tou Fu.

I have been walking past this place many many times, but I never step foot inside simply because the place doesn't look appealing at all, despite all the newspaper cuttings pasted here, there, everywhere. Until one day, I was damn hungry after my swim at SAFRA which is just about 100m from here, and i need a quick healthy fix, thats when I decide to give it a try.

Wah... cheap cheap... seldom can you find YTH at 30 cents a piece.

zoom in to let you see what they have... some nice stuffs are... Otah! Tofu that is very soft! Wantons! Some Currypuff-look-alike thing!

Thats hers: The floating stuff at the bottom is the wanton...

Thats mine! The soup is pretty oily, i suspect they add onion oil or worst-case scenario is that lard is added! omg!

Yet another Yong Tau Hu, in Ang Mo Kio again!

Why is it that all the nice Yong Tau Fu is in Ang Mo Kio!? Geez!

I was supposed to run some errands by myself (can you see how much my mentor trust me? keke. maybe he shouldn't!) at Ang Mo Kio Techplace 1 during my internship at HP a few weeks back. But instead of going back to HP after settling some stuffs at techplace, I went over to the market nearby for my YTH fix! :D

I have tried this stall previously, and I am in love with with their YTH especially the chilli! Now that I happen to come here again... how can i not eat their YTH again!

Damn Good YTH at Damn Good Price, served with damn good chilli!

(No matter how healthy YTH is, eating too much of it will not do you much good either. Small and frequent meals pls! I overheard this happy customer's order, it was an expensive one... 5+ bucks... omg... i dunno how one can chomp that whole bowl down, served with 2 bowls of rice, and he was happily eating opposite where I was sitting) When I saw that, I was utterly in awe! Mine was $2.80 only, without nice/noodles.

yum yum... So healthy right... lol. The chili sauce x2 because i simply like it soooo much. The sweet sauce however was untouched.

Special Chilli Sauce Yong Tau Hu is located @
409 Ang Mo Kio Ave 10

An Pang Yong Tau Fu again @ Ang Mo Kio again

Ang Mo Kio really is really a place full of Yong Tau Fu, plus they are the nice ones. Just less than 100m from this stall and this stall at AMK Hawker, I found another YTH stall at a nearby coffeee shop. On top of the normal dry and wet version, they also have the "An Pang" Yong Tau Fu.

In terms of variety, they have a very large array of selections, and many of which are the unusual ones - the very own creations of the boss. So what is An Pang Yong Tau Fu? An Pang looks very similar to An Pan (Red Bean Bun), so please dun be mistaken, for no one eat YTH with red bean bun. -_-


You see that plate of ingredient drizzled with some sauce? yep. thats An Pang YTH! It is basically the dry version, drizzled with some starchy gravy over it. The gravy taste kind of like Hor Fun gravy leh... I thought it taste kind of weird. Definitely prefer the soupy version over this.
