Goldhill Hakka Restaurant

This is a typical Hakka style Yong Tau Fu. The restaurant is equipped with very old aircon and big fan. Not sure whether the aircon is functioning because you can hardly feel the cool air. For sure the fan is working because you can feel the irritating wind blowing.

Enter the door, you will see the cashier and kitchen right infront and a few big round tables. Once you get seated, the man will come and take order assuming you are familiared with the dishes. The man taking the order is quite elderly, is not rude but rather very 'beng'. He did not introduce what is available and simply ask $6 or $8 and do you want the side dish? It took me a while to realise it is standard order of $4, $6 or $8 and there is also no selection of items. The standard items inclusive of Tofu, Chilli, Tau Pok, Bitter Gourd and fried bean curb skin, of course, they are all stuffed with minced meat or fish.

Although there are not much variety, I like the way it is being served, very traditional. Unlike most Yong Tau Fu, the bittergroud is not so hard and 'green' in color. It is soft and is stuffed with very big portion of minced meat or fish. When you bite on it, you don't feel bitter at all.

The Tofu is also stuffed with big portion of minced meat, it is very soft too. It taste very nice especially when it is dipped into the traditional chilli and sweet saurce. It seem that the Chilli saurce and sweet saurce play a very important role in the Yong Tau Fu business.

The big Green and Red Chilli are not spicy at all. It is basically the chilli skin stuffed with minced meat.

The side order is the Shuan Pang Zi and Yu San. The Shuan Pang Zi is a very typical Hakka dish which is rarely available nowadays. The Yu San is also another nice and healthy dish which I will try on another day.

Another thing I forgot to mention is that the Yong Tau Fu is only served in dried style. So, if you are looking for something simple, nice and fast, this might be a good choice for your next meal.
