Eat @ Margaret's

After a throughly exhausting session troubleshooting the office new switch(es) I was glad to be able to sooth my tired mind (and hungry stomach!) with a visit to one of USJ's most famous yong tau foo places. Presenting...Margaret Yong Tau Foo!

Table, reserved

For a group of three we ordered 26 pieces of assorted yong tau foo, 3 pieces of 'tau kan' (basically some sort of soya bean sheet stuffed with fish paste), a bowl of rice and sugarcane for all. On to the pictures...

Home made boiled sugarcane, very soothing

Thick sweet sauce and pretty good home made chili sauce
A good combination!

A glimpse into the kitchen

The fried brinjal and 'foo chook' came first
Crispy and tasty!

Big? =P

White taufoo, taufoo puffs, fishcakes,
bitter gourd, ladies fingers and chilies

Taufoo puff (taufoo pok) explored

Apparently they use a mixture of fish paste
and sotong for the white tau foo
It is so good!

Their signature 'tau kan'
Pretty good but pricey

Ladies finger and white tau foo take to the stage

They taste as good as they look

Finished?

Not so fast, here's the encore!

One word, tasty. Would I return? Yes. Was the service good? Yeah although you do hear horror stories about their service and attitude. Was it worth it? Yes, the yong tau foo servings were big and packed with meat. Thumbs up!

Let me just break down the pricing for you peeps. Each piece of yong tau foo goes for RM1, the 'tau kan' is priced at RM2 a piece, rice at RM1 a bowl while a cup of sugarcane costs RM1.30. Not too bad really. They do serve other dishes like vegetables, assam fish and paper wrapped chicken too, no idea about the prices though.

For people who are not to familiar with the USJ area this place might be a wee bit difficult to find. In fact I had to rely on a hand drawn map done by my colleague! So uh...mebbe I'll just give you the coordinates to this place 3°2'33"N 101°35'35"E. TADA! It's somewhere near Goodyear Court 9 actually. Happy searching!
