Best Yong Tau Foo in Johor Bahru (JB)

The brainchild of husband and wife from Kuala Lumpur who missed their hometown delicacy so much, they rolled up their sleeves and teamed up with Homeland Yong Tau Foo from Ampang, then started churning out YTF that is nothing short of spectacular. The assorted goodness is generously stuffed with Mackerel paste with a tinge of starch then boiled to perfection. The stuffed bitter gourd, brinjal, ladies finger and tofu are delicious and if you need a deep-fried party too –fried tofu crisps filled with fish paste and fried wanton stuffed with carrot, fish and “wood ear” fungus are spot on. 

This humble eatery deviates from the norm by taking Yong Tao Foo to a whole new level. Grab yourself a spot in the open-air dining space by the street and nab a bowl of YTF dunked in a curry broth.
