no-fail

i love food courts in singapore. they're clean, spacious, and you're spoilt for choice. sometimes the sheer number of food choices leaves me paralyzed. now that i'm on this diet and more than half of the food offered is forbidden to me, i have formed some favorites so i don't get overwhelmed anymore.

yong tau fu -- it sounds exotic, doesn't it? this is a no-fail order. you choose the vegetables, tofu, meat, and other things you want to include in it (crabmeat, mushrooms, chicken, fishballs....), then you hand over your bowl to the attendants to be cooked the way you prefer -clear soup, with noodles, with curry, with laksa. the clear soup is glorious! it's full of flavor (but no msg). and they never overcook the veggies. plus, they have like 10 different varieties of tofu you can choose from.

i never get tired of this dish because actually you can have a different combination each time you order it. so it's always new. and always satisfying.

and so not fattening.

whoever invented this dish must have had a psychic link to dr. agatston.
