Ipoh Road Hakka Yong Tau Foo - Wangsa Permai, Kepong
The spacious hangar-like eatery is inviting on 2 counts: space and airiness. Google Ipoh Road Hakka Yong Tau Foo and one can find the handiwork of various floggers. I was surprised it was found in something like 10 locations in KL!The YTF is normal and within my expectations. I have a soft spot for it due to the extensive use of healthy tofu and vegetables. The only anomaly but on the positive side was the soup. Its thicker than normal and brewed with bean paste (tau cheong) giving it a strong savoury and slightly spicy taste. The fragrance (acquired) from the fermented beans is reminiscing of those YTF fried in "Tau Cheong" I get back home from my mother. MSG - moderate amount detected.
Its 12:00 noon and the crowd is filtering in. Now mostly families.
The 'to fu', 'to pok', and all kinds of vegetables inserted with fish paste.
The unique soup base is good with rice as it is salty, slightly spicy and with a strong fermented beans smell. 
Deep-fried 'fu chok', 'sui kow' and brinjal.
Fish balls were ordinary and the soup has a slight bitter edge. Not sure where it was from.

STL... Quality average as the determining factor may be the fish paste. Can't tweak that much when good quality fish is so expensive.
BBO... I wish every Char Koay Teow stall is changed into a YTF one! Poof! But then....
LI... I eat just order more for lunch. Minimum 10 pieces per head on the average.
SG... same story, when I first came to KL from Ipoh 27 years ago I was lost foodwise.
BB... Yes, I was thirty.
TNG... I think it boils down to the fish paste and the fresh ingredients. Operations is relatively simple.
