One-of-a-kind Tau Kwa Pau that has become an icon of Singapore's hawker food.
If there are epic food flavours I'd vividly remember from my childhood days, this would definitely be one of them. And it hasn't changed an iota since those days.
Not to be compared to the Tau Kwa Paus you'd typically get with the Chinese rojak, this version is essentially a fried bean curd, slit in the middle, stuffed with Chinese braised pork cubes and hard-boiled eggs, chopped fried fish balls, crispy fried yam bits and diced cucumber, finished with a drizzle of the super flavourful loh chup (braised meat gravy) and their signature chilli sauce, and topped with a few random sprigs of Chinese coriander leaves.
As if these weren't enough to satisfy my cravings, I also ordered a separate plate of fried fishballs and yam fritters, which totally didn't disappoint me. The yam fritters, especially, was extremely cripsy, crunchy and so unmistakably yam-my!
It's a taste to return for and good ol' nostalgic flavours to revisit time and again. I'm sure I'll be back for more.
