Xiu Ji Ikan Bilis Yong Tau Fu

The broth here is clean and light, with just the right amount of sweetness to balance the salty crunch of the fried ikan bilis. The niang dou fu pieces are hefty, and you can watch the staff handmake individual pieces. The ikan bilis soup? Perfect. It’s sweet enough that you won’t need to add anything else. The handmade yong tau foo is as springy and fresh as you could hope for. Expect a line that stretches from opening until they sell out—two lovely but slow-moving ladies are in charge. The wait is totally worth it, though, especially for the fried YTF.
