Lucky Plaza yong tau foo stall with 30-plus fresh ingredients, homemade meatballs and braised mushrooms.
My Favourite Cafe Yong Tau Foo is a long-running stall at Lucky Plaza that has earned a reputation as one of Singapore's most beloved yong tau foo spots. The stall offers over 30 fresh ingredients, including tofu, vegetables and seafood stuffed with minced fish paste, alongside its two standout items: palm-sized braised mushrooms and crispy homemade meatballs. Diners pick their ingredients, which are cooked and served either dry or in a light broth, with an optional curry gravy that adds a rich and aromatic dimension. The braised mushrooms are notably large and flavourful, packed with juice and umami, while the meatballs are crisp on the outside and tender within. The stall operates on a cash-only basis with a minimum order, and queues during lunch are a testament to its popularity. Located on the sixth floor of Lucky Plaza, My Favourite Cafe provides a satisfying and affordable meal in the heart of Orchard Road. Its consistent quality and generous portions have made it a favourite among locals, particularly those who work in the area and return week after week for the mushrooms and meatballs that set it apart from other yong tau foo stalls.Operating Hours

There is a long Q. The seating system is assigned after you have picked your selection and paid. Food wise, it’s not bad. Fresh and simply. I was told the meat ball was their unique item. I didn’t find it particularly outstanding. I liked the braised mushroom. It is nice and plump. Other items are above average.
