Good Yellow Tail Fish Balls...

In the older days, fish balls are made from 'Yellow Tail' fish. I have given several stalls that have been boosting about the 'Yellow Tail' fish balls that they were making and this is one of the better ones...

'Yong Tau Fu' For a start, unlike most of the 'Yong Tau Fu' soup out there, they are not using 'Yellow Bean' to prepare this soup. And based on what I have read, they are using 'Ikan Bilis' and 'Fish Bones' to prepare this soup. Although the taste isn't as strong as the usual soup that you are getting, but the soup has this nice sweet and savoury taste, which is a nice (+). As mentioned earlier, the fish balls over here are made from 'Yellow Tail' meat. Therefore, I find the texture of the fish balls to be pretty chewy, bouncy and it doesn't have the fishy smell. On top of that, most of the ingredients over here are handmade by the stall helpers. In fact, they are owning 2 side by side stalls over here and they are using one of the stalls as a mini fresh ingredients making factory. XD As for the bowl of noodles that I have ordered, the crispy ikan bilis that were sprinkled on top isn't too salty and it's adding a crunchy sensation to the bowl of noodles itself. The biggest drawback would be the fact that they only have chilli sauce over here, therefore if you are keeping a lookout for the sweet sauce, too bad... :P

The menu over here is pretty straight forward. For a start, you can either go for the standard bowl of 'Yong Tau Fu' that comes with 6 pieces of ingredients with Noodles/Rice Vermicelli. Alternatively, you can go bowl of 'Yong Tau Fu' with merely 8 pieces of ingredients. On top of that, you can request for a few other types of ingredients with an extra charge.

So where can you give the delicious fish balls and 'Yong Tau Fu' a good try?

The name of this stall would be 'Xiu Ji Ikan Bilis Yong Tau Fu'(秀記江魚仔釀豆腐). It's located in one of the hidden corners on level 2 of 'Chinatown Complex Food Centre'.
