Your questions answered

What is yong tau foo?

Yong tau foo is a Chinese dish of tofu, beancurd skins and vegetables stuffed with fish or meat paste. In Singapore you typically pick your own ingredients and choose to have them dry with sauce, in a clear soup, or in laksa gravy, often with noodles or rice.

Where can I find the best yong tau foo in Singapore?

Well-regarded stalls are spread across the island, including Chinatown (Xiu Ji Ikan Bilis, Yong Xiang Xing Dou Fu), Ang Mo Kio (Xi Xiang Feng), Toa Payoh (Hup Chong), Upper Thomson (928 Beng Cheng), Katong, Tiong Bahru and the CBD. This guide lists spots across several neighbourhoods so you can find one near you.

Is there any halal yong tau foo in Singapore?

Some stalls, such as Jason Niang Dou Fu at Beach Road and Da Jie Niang Dou Fu in Clementi, have been reported as halal or Muslim-friendly options. Many yong tau foo stalls, however, use pork or serve items like sio bak and intestines, so always confirm halal status and certification directly with the stall before dining.

How much does yong tau foo usually cost?

It is an affordable hawker dish. Many stalls charge roughly $0.50 to $0.90 per item with a minimum order, while set or noodle bowls generally run from about $3.50 to $6 per person. Prices change over time, so treat these as indicative.

Should I check opening hours before visiting?

Yes. Hawker stall hours, rest days and even prices change frequently, and popular items can sell out early. Where hours were unclear or sources disagreed, we have left them blank, so it is best to confirm on the stall's own channels before making a special trip.
