Ampang Homeland Yong Tau Foo, Taipan USJ

It’s been ages since I set foot in one this popular chain called Ampang Homeland Yong Tau Foo which boasts of several branches namely in Kampung Ampang Baru (yes, where else, right?), USJ, SS2 and even in Klang.

Sugar cane & wheat grass

Sauces for dipping the stuffed ingredients

The USJ outlet is located in the Taipan business centre and has no air conditioning. Having said that, the place is not oven hot as they have huge fans to cool the place down.

The yong tau foo costs RM1 per piece. We ordered ladies fingers, white tau foo, bitter gourd as well as dumplings and fish balls.   We also sampled the fried foo chok. We were given a choice of whether to have them dry or in soup. We asked for the stuffed items  and soup to be served separately except for the fishballs and dumplings, and the waiter willingly obliged.

 The dumpling soup was alright but the fish ball soup had too much pepper in it.

Dumplings in soup - minimum order - 5 pieces

Fish balls in soup

This is the pandan chicken wing . For the record, each piece costs a whopping RM2.50…. When the chicken wings arrived, I could not help but to take a few smells before sinking my teeth into them. Each piece was flavourfully marinated and I loved it.

Lettuce in oyster sauce (RM7). The serving is of course very generous, but I would have prefer the lettuce cut into smaller pieces for easy eating.

Asam fish (RM5) –this had always been the specialty here. Once again it lived up to my expectation. Piping hot chillies with onions always give a perfect blend of ‘sourish sweet’ taste.
