Ah Chew Yong Tau Foo @ Westgate carries forward a remarkable 30-year culinary legacy that began in 1992 when founder Mr. Tan Lang Chew transformed his original Hwa Heng Beef Noodles business into Singapore's beloved yong tau foo destination. Located within Food Junction, this family-operated stall represents the evolution of traditional Hainanese cooking expertise, utilizing decades of beef broth brewing knowledge to create the distinctive, aromatic soup base that has made Ah Chew a household name across Singapore's food court landscape.
The stall specializes in traditional stuffed-tofu-and-noodle soup alongside their signature beef noodles prepared using a treasured 40-year-old Hainanese family recipe, featuring soup boiled with 10 Asian herbs for six hours and carefully marinated beef that delivers exceptional tenderness. Under the guidance of second-generation owner Jeffrey Tan, Ah Chew maintains authentic preparation methods while serving both healthy yong tau foo selections and robust beef noodle combinations that satisfy diverse palates at remarkably affordable prices.
Operating daily from 10am to 10pm within Westgate's convenient food court environment, Ah Chew Yong Tau Foo delivers consistent quality and generous portions that have earned recognition among Singapore food enthusiasts. Whether seeking nutritious yong tau foo with flavorful handmade ingredients or robust beef noodles that showcase traditional Hainanese culinary mastery, customers can rely on this established stall to provide authentic taste experiences that honor both family heritage and Singapore's vibrant hawker food culture.
Disappointing. Would expect the wrapped dumplings to be filled with some form of meat. 1) is mashed bean sprouts with some flour 2) one is an orange flour paste 3) hotdog. Simply cheap ingredients and likely left overs reused and fried.

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

Greeted with a wide selection to choose from with lots of vegetable options. Tasty soup which didn't leave me thirsty hours after the meal so maybe they don't use msg. Costs more than elsewhere for standard set YTH (6 items including noodles) at $7.60 but I enjoyed it so was worth it. Great that there's even pig skin. Ate there 2 nights consecutively with the same enjoyable experience. Unusual to see that they offer chee cheong fun in addition to rice and noodles for carbs. This food court has central locations for cutlery collection, clean area with soap for hand washing and overall clean. Good ventilation so no lingering yucky smell from fried foods. Nice!

Good selection of items to choose from, including various noodles/carb bases. Don't quite understand menu options 1-3, but I paid the 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 fairly quick turnaround.

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