Extracted from Wikipedia - Ampang, a district in Malaysia is famous for its Yong Tau Foo which is a Chinese soup dish with Hakka origins. Essentially the dish originated in the early 1960s in a restaurant called "Chew Kuan" as tofu stuffed with a meat paste of fish and pork, thereby earning the dish its name "Yong Tau Foo," which means "stuffed bean curd." Since then all variety of vegetables and even fried fritters have been similarly stuffed, and the name Yong Tau Foo has thus been used liberally to apply to foods prepared in this manner.
The foods are sliced into bite-size pieces, cooked briefly in boiling broth and then served either in the broth as soup or dry with sauces.
