The humble taugeh, a popular and cheap vegetable, has not been spared the effects of spiralling prices. The price will cost 10 sen more from Saturday, Dec 10.
Taugeh is widely used for hawker food, i.e., taugeh chicken hor fun, char koay teow, hokkien mee, mee rebus, tauhu sumbat, poh piah and pasembur. It is also served as a side dish with salted fish.
According to taugeh producers, the increase is necessary due to the increased cost of the raw material, the imported mung beans. A gunny sack of beans used to cost RM75 but it is now RM135.

There is this hawker place in kuching where the fried taugeh kway tiaw is out of this world! Any similar places in KL? Must have I am sure! Pl email me with details! Dont forget the bak kua also! Thks!
ReplyDeleteNot sure which part of KL you will be at but there's one along Jalan Imbi, near Sungei Wang area. The coffeeshop is at the corner along Jalan Imbi. That coffeeshop has got supposedly one of the best char koay teow in KL and THE best meatball noodle in KL. Other got-to-try food is the chee cheong fun and the pork noodles. (I'm hungry already just thinking of them.) If you're there, just beside the coffeeshop is "Lim Meng Kee" which has very yummy bak kua besides other tidbits. They make good gifts.
ReplyDeleteThat's not all, and then at night, the parking space across the street is turned into a food bazaar and if you're a lover of shellfish like cockles and lala and balitong, there's a stall that has those supa-dupa, mouth-watering dishes.
Some more.... you want to know or not?

All these taugeh talk makes me dream about the char koew teow back home... I love taugeh and used to ask the vendor to put extra taugeh for me...
ReplyDeleteHi Lrong, good to have you back. Yeah-lah, char kway teow without taugeh is not char kway teow.
