Ampang Niang Dou Fu

225 East Coast Road

This was probably the healthiest stop on our East Coast Road food trail. This shop sells an array of yong tau fu – bittergourd, soy bean skin, tofu, brinjal, chilli, etc, stuffed with a minced fish paste; fishball, quails eggs, etc. The selection is pretty standard, you just tell the waiter how many are dining. The stuffed pieces are served in a giant dish with soup. This must be the "Ampang" (a Malaysian city) style. The individual pieces can be eaten with a sweet sauce and a chilli sauce, or both. Everyone simply digs in. Delicious and healthy (but for the fried soy bean skin).
