Good fishballs/fish paste takes skills, patience and of course a great recipe.

I’m not particularly excited about yong tau foo but I do go a bit crazy over fishballs. I love them springy with genuine fish flavour (oh duhh) and bursting with the natural sweetness of the sea.
A high order I know, with the perfectly spherical machine-formed, MSG-fied and flour laden ones that all of us are subjected to these days that it’s possible to even forget what a really good fishball is supposed to taste like.

I seldom crave for Chinese food but when I do it has to be really good.
One of the few Chinese food that I enjoy and do crave for is dim sum and yong tau foo. There are others of course (siew yok, char siew, etc) but I really really love my yong tau foo and dim sum!
I have yet to uncover really good yong tau foo in TTDI/PJ area and though I have read positive reviews on a few places in Puchong, I’m the sort who will travel for burgers & steaks but not for Chinese /local cuisine.
And so I don’t think I’ll be trying any of those awesome yong tau foo soon. But hey, is anyone here volunteering to fetch me? I don’t mind if I’m not driving! 😀

But I digress. Where was I? Ah yes, about cravings.

Now one of the very few cravings I get from time to time is for this yong tau foo on Jalan Imbi, near the Honda showroom and the famous pork noodles at Win Seng Heng coffee shop.

Apologies for the hiatus on the FOOD @ the “NEW” Old Wing, 1 Utama series! Trust me, I have been continously exploring the other new food outlets at the “NEW” Old Wing, 1 Utama. And now I’m back with materials and pictures for another 5 posts!

Out of the many outlets, one that stood out was this “needs lessons in branding” Yong Tau Foo Eat and Happy kiosk right in the middle of spanking new Lower Ground floor, 1 Utama.

It was one of those nights that I needed something light and soupy. Something hot to warm the tummy and something healthy (or rather, something that remotely resembling quality protein).

Fish is a good choice. And Ah Koong Noodles Restaurant offers authentic fishballs made from fresh Wolf-Herring & Yellow Tail fish.

For me, no matter how fancy I go, how fusion, how out-of-the-ordinary cuisine can pique my interest, I can’t do without my hawker food. While weekend mornings are for American style brekkies, most mornings it’s Nasi Lemak or a sandwich.

For lunch, economy rice is mandatory. Malay, Indian, Chinese, it’s ok. We are 1Malaysia aren’t we? 😛

There are loads of coffee shops in PJ area but I was introduced to this one rather recently by the PJ boy – UnkaLeong.
