Build-your-own yong tau foo stall in NEX's Food Republic, a fresh and customisable local classic.

Ah Chew Yong Tau Foo is a featured stall within the Food Republic food court at NEX (Basement 2), and it is a go-to for one of Singapore's best-loved hawker dishes. Yong tau foo centres on a selection of tofu, vegetables and seafood pieces stuffed with fish paste, blanched to order and served in a light broth or dry with sweet sauce. At Ah Chew you pick your own pieces - a minimum of six - alongside your choice of noodles or rice, building a bowl that is exactly to your taste.

The stall is part of the Ah Chew chain, which runs outlets across several Food Republic locations island-wide, and it keeps daily hours from around 10am to 10:30pm. Prices are reasonable for a food court, and the fresh, customisable format makes it a lighter, comforting option that suits lunchers, families and after-work diners alike. Food Republic's NEX outlet is themed "Harvest", celebrating local and regional heritage delicacies in a relaxed basement dining space.

For a wholesome, customisable bowl of yong tau foo done the traditional way, Ah Chew at Food Republic NEX is well worth a stop - a fresh, satisfying taste of Singapore hawker culture right in the heart of Serangoon.

A pair of black chopsticks rests across the bowl, and a white ceramic spoon is partially submerged on the left. To the bottom right, a small white condiment dish holds two distinct sauces: a dark, glossy sauce and a reddish, textured chili paste. The bowl sits on a light-colored wooden table.

Bowl of Noodle Soup
