Lunch at Restoran Sg Way Hakka Yong Tau Foo

We visited Restoran Sg Way Hakka Yong Tau Foo to try the YTF we had heard about from Chiefeater Yew Hoong.

We had ordered 11 pieces of YTF alongside a plate of Chee Cheong Fun. When the dishes arrived, the immediate victory was the generous scale of each item. More importantly, the texture of the fish paste filling was beautifully springy.

A close inspection reveals microscopic air holes pockets inside the paste—a telltale signature of handmade execution. These holes appear when the fish paste is aggressively thrown and slapped against the mixing bowl during preparation, a traditional method that traps tiny pockets of air while realigning the proteins to create that highly coveted, dense bouncy bite.

The accompanying components held their ground well. The plain Chee Cheong Fun, dusted with sesame seeds, provided a smooth, silky foil to the savory, broth-soaked pieces. At RM2.50 for the majority of the hefty pieces, it offers an honest good value lunch experience that completely honors its roots.

The only minus is that parking is almost impossible and the place can get hot, though they have coolers.
