Ah Chew Yong Tau Foo Westgate

Disappointing. Would expect the wrapped dumplings to be filled with some form of meat. Instead, the fillings were: 1) mashed bean sprouts with some flour; 2) an orange flour paste; and 3) hotdog. These were simply cheap ingredients, likely leftovers reused and fried.

First time eating this Yong Tau Fu after the renovation. The reason I keep coming back is simple: there aren't many Yong Tau Fu stalls that offer chee cheong fun besides the usual noodles, and will also re-fry the deep-fried items separately if you require it. In fact, they will ask if you prefer them to re-fry! How many stalls do that for you in Singapore? Yes, they are more expensive than the average Yong Tau Fu stall, but please remember that you get the air-conditioned environment of a Koufu food court and very consistent quality and taste. The inflation in Singapore doesn't help. Go and try it. Don't just focus on the negative reviews here solely because of the cost. In my opinion, it's worth it.

Good selection of items to choose from, including various noodles/carb bases. Don't quite understand menu options 1-3, but I paid a la carte pricing ($1 per item) for my 9 items + 1 noodle. The fried items can be given a quick re-fry, and everything else gets a brief boil in the master broth. There are some sauces/condiments you can add to taste, so overall it's quite a customisable meal and a fairly quick turnaround.

Expensive YTF, at $7 for 7 items. The servers might get your orders wrong at times, but the food is better than at usual YTF stalls. The fried meatball is something you can’t find elsewhere. There is a bean sprout pouch, wrapped in beancurd skin, that is special too. The dumpling-like items contain no meat, but cheese, I think. So don’t be fooled. The vegetable choices are many, with mushrooms and different types of tofu to choose from.

I was greeted with a wide selection to choose from, with many vegetable options. The tasty soup didn't leave me thirsty hours after the meal, suggesting they might not use MSG. It costs more than elsewhere for the standard set YTH (6 items, including noodles) at $7.60, but I enjoyed it, so it was worth it. It was great that there was even pig skin. I ate there two consecutive nights and had the same enjoyable experience. It was unusual to see them offer chee cheong fun in addition to rice and noodles for carbs. This food court has central locations for cutlery collection, a clean area with soap for hand washing, and is overall clean. Good ventilation, so there's no lingering 'yucky' smell from fried foods. Nice!
