Despite halal-certified <\/span>yong tau foo <\/span><\/i>being broadly out there, I\u2019ve by no means as soon as considered getting a bowl. I really feel that there are higher choices resembling <\/span>mala<\/span><\/i>. Also, the growing recognition of Korean BBQ and scorching pots have positioned <\/span>yong tau foo <\/span><\/i>in an odd spot in my delicacies hierarchy. That was till I attempted <\/span>Dajie <\/b>situated at <\/span>Yishun Street 72<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dajie

Getting to Dajie was as straightforward as tapping out of the <\/span>Yishun MRT Station<\/b>, because it was located simply throughout from it alongside the courtroom. When I arrived, it was nearly 4pm; there weren\u2019t many purchasers but however the peak dinner interval was simply across the nook.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dajie has 4 shops together with <\/span>Clementi<\/b>, <\/span>Bukit Batok <\/b>and <\/span>Bedok<\/b> with the latter outlet serving <\/span>mookata <\/span><\/i>until 2am. Recently, it was awarded the <\/span>SG Food Masters<\/b><\/a> award in <\/span>2021<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

What I attempted at Dajie\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Dajie

What made me resolve to strive <\/span>yong tau foo<\/span><\/i> within the first place was how Dajie promised to supply genuine and halal Hakka-style <\/span>yong tau foo,<\/span><\/i> with sauces that I\u2019ve by no means heard of resembling <\/span>Hakka <\/i><\/b>and <\/span>Ampang <\/i><\/b>(which was what I had). Familiar bases resembling <\/span>Laksa <\/i><\/b>and <\/span>Tom Yum<\/i><\/b> have been additionally out there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I discovered the choice of elements to be fairly missing as in comparison with your typical hawker <\/span>mala <\/span><\/i>or scorching pot counterparts, however I made do. Like some other pick-your-ingredients eatery, some gadgets are charged by weight while others by items so it\u2019s greatest that you just verify with the pleasant cashier.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dajie

Apart from <\/span>yong tau foo<\/span><\/i>, additionally they serve their equally well-known <\/span>Roasted\/Steamed Chicken Rice (S$4.10) <\/b>and <\/span>Chicken Rice Set (S$5.20)<\/b>. There\u2019s additionally <\/span>Char Siew <\/i><\/b>Chicken Rice (S$4.30)<\/b>, <\/span>Kampung <\/i><\/b>Fried Rice (S$5.30) <\/b>and <\/span>Chicken <\/b>Bee Hoon Goreng <\/i><\/b>(S$5.40)<\/b>. There\u2019s even a <\/span>Mala <\/i><\/b>Hot Pot<\/b> with a minimal order of <\/span>10 elements<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dajie

My first style of <\/span>yong tau foo <\/span><\/i>after greater than 15 years was <\/span>Ampang-<\/span><\/i>model. When it first got here, I assumed it regarded loads like <\/span>mee rebus <\/span><\/i>with its brown gravy and yellow noodles. I attempted avoiding the extra processed toppings resembling the numerous totally different hotdogs and opted for slices of fish and rooster. I additionally had rolled <\/span>tofu <\/span><\/i>skins, <\/span>tau poks<\/span><\/i> and broccoli.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In whole, my order value <\/span>S$7.95<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dajie

The first mouthful, once more, jogged my memory loads of <\/span>mee rebus<\/span><\/i>. It had a candy and savoury style to it with only a smidgen of spice, nothing a toddler can\u2019t deal with I promise. Also, the truth that I had it with yellow noodles additional drives residence the similarities however I digress. Overall, I actually loved the acquainted style.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dajie

My rolled <\/span>tofu <\/span><\/i>skins and <\/span>tau poks<\/span><\/i> have been fried to a satisfying crisp. Along with the Ampang-style sauce, it made each crackle a pleasant bliss. We actually need to thank the Hakkas for making frying your <\/span>yong tau foo<\/span><\/i> elements a factor.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dajie

It\u2019s too dangerous then that the fish and rooster slices weren\u2019t fried too, as it will have masked the overly fishy and chickeny style that was current. I couldn\u2019t even carry myself to complete these elements which have been most likely the most costly gadgets within the dish.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dajie

Next and far, a lot later I had my Hakka<\/span> yong tau foo <\/em>variant. This time, I went with fried <\/span>wantons<\/span><\/i>, fishballs, <\/span>tofu<\/span><\/i>, rolled <\/span>tofu <\/span><\/i>pores and skin and broccolis. I opted for <\/span>Kway Teow <\/i><\/b>(S$0.90)<\/b> and it got here to <\/span>S$6.50<\/b> together with takeaway fees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This time, I didn\u2019t have the expertise to narrate it to something I ate earlier than, a minimum of visually.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dajie

Taste sensible, its profile was actually much like the sauce that\u2019s utilized in a dry variant of fish ball noodles with out the warmth, solely a lot thicker. It additionally had bits of minced rooster which was surprisingly flavourful regardless of the scale.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Opting for <\/span>kway teow <\/span><\/i>was the best transfer because the sauce was already thick and wealthy by itself. The neutralness of the noodles didn’t disturb the move of flavours. The extra I had it, the extra I felt how one-note the bottom was; if solely it had some chilli paste to enliven the style!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dajie

As I had ordered it to go, I wasn\u2019t anticipating any crispiness from the elements in any respect however frying it undoubtedly helped with its texture, particularly the fish balls as they nonetheless retained their chewiness with a satisfying new texture to its exterior.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Final ideas<\/b><\/h2>\n

Dajie supplies a refreshing tackle halal <\/span>yong tau foo <\/span><\/i>with its Hakka cooking model in addition to the distinctive bases that amplify the flavour of the toppings. I\u2019d say keep away from the sliced meats and go for toppings that will get crispy after frying, such because the rolled <\/span>tofu <\/span><\/i>pores and skin and fried <\/span>wanton<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

If <\/span>yong tau foo <\/span><\/i>isn\u2019t your factor, then you may all the time strive their <\/span>award-winning<\/span><\/a> rooster rice. Overall, Dajie is a worthy purpose to make a visit to Yishun.<\/span><\/p>\n
