Ampang is famous for its Yong Tau Foo (YTF). There are so many YTF restaurants around and some of them are Foong Foong Yong Tau Foo, Restaurant Orchard View Yong Tau Foo and Ampang Homeland Yong Tau Foo. According to a friend of my sister, YY who is a local here, the best YTF restaurant is Foong Foong’s. Relying on this, we drove ourself to Ampang to try out the YTF there.

The restaurant is not visible from the main road, so if you are not a local here, you may have a bit of trouble finding this place. Fortunately, I have a GPS to guide myself here. I have no trouble looking for this place. “PS: GPS is a good investment, do get one if you are adventurest person”.

My favourite would be the stuffed brinjals despite it being oily and white tau foo. The size of the white tau foo is considerably small compared to usual ones I had in Kepong.

As there were only four of us, we ordered 20 random pieces of YTF. Here, each piece are priced at RM0.90. After doing some diggings around, I found out that each piece were priced at RM0.60, 5 years back. The price are more expensive now. It was so much cheaper back then.

Normally, during the weekdays people tend to choose a lighter meal for lunch. Sitting in the office typing away on the computer does not really use up all the food we have eaten for the day.

There were many choices you can choose from the whole list menus such as Yong Tau Foo, Curry fish head, Assam fish, Fried chicken wing, Hack Ka Cha Youk (Hakka fried pork) to Vinegar Pork Leg. As we are tight for time, we tried the Yong Tau Foo.

My first choice was definitely had to be the one with the least meat (Keep Fit Ma) and I got myself a tau foo, a chili, two egg plants and a lady finger. Regardless of what my colleague said, I personally feel that it tastes quite normal. Nothing so fancy about it. However, there is one thing I noticed about this Yong Tau Foo is that it is less oily compared to other stalls that I had eaten before.
