8 Places To Buy Fresh Uncooked Yong Tau Foo In Singapore

Yong tau foo is a well-loved dish in Singapore of Hakka origin. Originally active around the Yellow River with a staple diet of dumplings, the Hakkas started migrating Southwards and finally settled in Southern China. As they no longer had access to the flour to make dumpling skins, the people started using tofu instead and stuffing them with meat paste.

After arriving in the Nanyang region, access to seafood meant fish paste was added to the recipe, which helps to prevent shrinkage of the minced meat. Fishballs also made its appearance due to Teochew influences. Over the generations, the yong tau foo we know today began to make its way onto our dinner tables. If you’re having a dinner gathering or just wondering where to buy uncooked yong tau foo in Singapore, look no further because we’ve rounded up a list of online markets.
