Vote for the best Ampang yong tau foo



Yong Tau Foo is a Chinese soup dish with Hakka origins. It is essentially tofu stuffed with a meat paste of fish and pork, thereby earning the dish its name “Yong Tau Foo,” which means “stuffed bean curd.” Apart from bean curd, other food items including fish balls, crab sticks, bitter gourds, ladies fingers, brinjals and chillies are also used. The dish is usually served with soup. It can be eaten with white rice or with any choice of egg or rice noodles. Chilly and sweet sauce are used as dipping.

Musang King lovers swear by its rich, creamy taste



Durians, durians and more durians! It is the time of the season again where people would sit on stools, huddled over the thorny husks and taste the yellow-coloured pulp.

The smell can be offensive to those who despise it. But it is probably safe to say that the number of Malaysians who love this fruit outnumber those who don’t, and for this majority, the smell is fragrant!

There are many varieties, with names like Red Prawn, D101, D13, D24, XO, D2 and also Bamboo Leg (Thraka), but the one that is much in demand now, even rising above all is the Musang King (Mao San Wong in Chinese).

The taste of Malaysia’s Musang King had enamoured even Macau’s casino king Stanley Ho so much that he sent his personal jet to Singapore recently to buy 88 of this variety, worth about RM4,800!

While Ho’s worker had wanted to pick up 98 of the Musang King, however, he could only get 88 since the adverse weather had resulted in a shortage of supply.

While Musang King is no doubt sold at many stalls for years, its popularity has increased by many folds now.

So what is the fuss about the Musang King, which is priced higher than the rest.

T.H. Tee, who runs his Durian Hartamas stall in Desa Sri Hartamas, said the best Musang King was from Pahang.

He gets his daily supply from Bentong and said it used to be much costlier but the price had dropped.

“The Musang King’s flesh is yellow,” said Tee as he cracked open one to show the contents.

“It’s creamy, too, and has a fragrance that lingers long in your mouth. The quality is consistent and you cannot find fault from one pulp to the other.”

The Musang King is originally known as Durian Kunyit, deriving its name from the yellow colour of the turmeric. Its place of origin is said to be Gua Musang, Kelantan.

Tee said the Musang King had been in Malaysia for more than 10 years but the bigger, better quality ones were often exported to Singapore.

“Singaporeans only need pay half of the Malaysian cost, given their stronger currency value. So they can well afford it,” said Tee, who hails from Johor and had sold the Musang King in Singapore for many years.

This is the first year that he is putting up a stall in Hartamas. For a start, Tee said he was charging his Musang King at a reasonable price, below the market rate although he declined to say how much.

“This way, I hope to build a steady stream of customers here.”

Tee said his durians were supplied fresh daily, as the taste would be less superior if kept overnight. His fruits arrive late in the afternoon after the morning pick.

Cheong Yeow Choy, who sells only Pahang-supplied durians at his stall in SS2 behind the police station, said Musang King was expensive because of the big demand in Singapore.

“After Stanley Ho made his purchase and sent some to Li Ka Shing, the durian’s popularity shot up even more!

“But there are also people who do not like it,” said Cheong, 49, who is popularly called Kim Mao by his friends and customers for his gold-dyed hair.

Yet there are also people who have no idea what Musang King is.

“The real durian lovers are not likely to opt for Musang King because the flavour is quite standard and predictable, without much variation,” Cheong said.

But Cheong said Musang King was unique because of its distinct yellow colour, small seeds and almost flawless quality of its flesh.

“The reject rate is very small,” he added.

As a durian seller for 32 years, he spent 15 years working in Pahang, and admitted to aggressively promoting durians from the state. He gets his daily supply from Raub and Krau.

“I bring in about 7,500kg of various durians each day.

“Durians that are exposed to the sun tend to be more bitter, while those under the shade tend to be sweeter,” he said.

When asked how a buyer could identify the Musang King, Cheong could only say that there is a certain shape to look out for.

“You have to check the head and bottom of the fruit which has a distinct shape.”

He said there were different grades of the Musang King — the Super Grade or Grade 1 and Grade 2.

The Grade 1, he said, were those from the old trees and which grow higher up in the mountains, while the lower Grade 2 were usually grown on a flatter terrain.

He said he would be drastically reducing the Musang King’s price to make it affordable to all.

Durian lover Tharma Kumaran said the Musang King was the epitome of the durian family.

“We are always getting B and C grade durians in Malaysia because the best are usually sent to Singapore,” lamented Tharma, 36.

“But it’s the tastiest among all. Although the price is higher, I believe a good fruit is worth its value,” he added.

He attributed its good taste to the thicker and creamier flesh and the Musang King gave him lesser indigestion problems.

His brother, Pala Kumaran, agreed that the durian tasted better and was not sticky.

“It comes out neatly from the seed and melts in the mouth,” he said.

Two Taiwanese customers, who were eating at the stall, said the Musang King was their favoured variety.

“It’s the best (durian) for me,” said Hsiao Chih Jen, 61.

“The flavour and aftertaste is different from the other varieties,” Hsiao said.

His friend, Chen Chiu Tung, 60, said he did not mind forking out more money as long as the quality was good.

Both have been staying and working in Malaysia for more than 20 years. “We only learnt to eat the fruit upon coming to Malaysia.

“Now there are durians in Taiwan, but are imported from Thailand which doesn’t taste nice,” said Chen.

But as they say, taste is subjective and whether Musang King is really that good, you are your own judge.

Driving range relief

THE Pandan Perdana Residents Association has thanked the Ampang Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ) for not renewing the licence of a driving range near the residential and business area.

The range in Jalan Pandan Perdana 2/7 was built in 2004 and has caused uneasiness among residents.

Association president Lim Ah Chai said he had collected 1,824 golf balls which had strayed from the range in just two years.

He added that the residents had been fighting for the driving range’s removal ever since it started operations but were unable to do so as the company had licence from the council.

“It posed a great danger as balls sometimes strayed and landed on the roof of houses.

“There was also an incident when a ball hit a boy’s head while he was in a restaurant,” he told reporters on Wednesday.

The association now wants a Chinese school built on the plot of land.

Lim said Pandan Perdana had a population of more than 20,000 and the Chinese schools were located 3km away in Bandar Tun Razak and in Jalan Kampung Pandan.

He added that the two schools were not enough to cater to the needs of the Chinese in the area.

“Currently, it is gazetted as a green lung but the government can de-gazette it for a school considering that they allowed a driving range earlier,” he said.

Residents say no to project proposal on unstable plot

THIRTEEN of the 20 residents of Ukay Heights, Ampang made their objections to a proposed development on Lot 1866 that has a history of soil instability in a local council hearing that had been postponed since April 26.

The previous hearing was postponed because only six residents had turned up whereas this time, residents who could not be there personally were represented by a lawyer.

Resident Datuk V.C. George said the previous owner moved out of the now abandoned bungalow on the lot eight years ago due to the instability of the soil.

“The land started sinking rapidly in the middle of the night, forcing the owner to vacate the premises. Since then, the back portion of the house has been hanging in the air,” he said, adding that the development might endanger everyone in the vicinity.

S.J. Ko, a property manager of one of the lands adjacent to the lot in question, said that the same landslip also affected the lot he managed on behalf of the owner.

“Immediately after the incident, we had to call an engineer and contractor to assess the situation. As the soil had eroded, they suspected some underground water seepage and had built subsoil pipes for proper drainage to rectify the situation,” he said.

He said they had also built a line of gabions that were rocks placed in wire cages along the edge of the property adjoining Lot 1866.

He explained that the last step done was to transport soil to backfill the land up to the original level prior to the landslip, adding that no problems had been reported since.

George said Lot 1866 measured about 25,000 sq ft and the proposal was to subdivide the lot into three separate lots.

“Because of the previous landslip, each divided lot will only be about 5,000 sq ft which is relatively small compared with the rest of the bungalows in the area,” he said.

“There are only bungalows in the area, each with about 15,000 sq ft land on average. The proposed development is unsuitable for the area as it changes the character of the place,” he said.

He also said that Lot 1866 is located right at the cul de sac of Jalan Pakat and going in and out of the place was difficult.

“The road leading to the plot is narrow, slopes downward and cuts into the side of the hill,” he said, adding that there was a sharp turn at the crest of the hill before the slope.

In a previous StarMetro report on April 30, a resident of the area had said that the road was only slightly more than three metres wide.

“If any emergency were to occur, the ambulance or fire truck will have difficulty accessing the place. That area should not be made into a high-density residence,” the resident had said.

George said the 20 residents involved lived along Jalan Pakat as well as the two small lanes along the road.

He said that the hearing was a fair one and felt confident that the project would not be approved.

“During the hearing, the developer replied that they would be improving the road, but that is not possible because of the geographical situation of the area,” he said.

He said that there was no deadline given but he estimated a decision to be made in one to two months.

He added that Ampang Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ) stated that it would hold a meeting with other authorities such as the Drainage and Irrigation Department and Fire and Rescue Department before coming to a decision.
