Found out all about the existence of Yujia Fried Pork Century Egg Dumplings Noodle 余家炸肉皮蛋饺·面 when we were going past the Tiong Bahru neighbourhood — these folks can be found within the Food Paradise coffeeshop at Blk 11B Boon Tiong Road; this would be a short walk away from Tiong Bahru MRT Station. The said coffeeshop had recently seen quite a number of new tenants moved into its premises; one of the more notable ones would be that of an outlet of Shiok Hokkien Mee which has been opening a number of locations all across the island. Yujia Fried Pork Century Egg Dumplings Noodle is located nearer towards the beverage stall within the coffeeshop; the beverage stall seemingly being hidden around the zichar stall within the coffeeshop. One thing that is worth noting about Yujia Fried Pork Century Egg Dumplings Noodle is how this establishment is one that claims to serve up Malaysian fare — specifically from Sandakan, Sabah; its signature offering would no doubt be the Fried Pork and the Century Egg Dumplings as mentioned in its namesake. That being said, Yujia Fried Pork Century Egg Dumplings Noodle does serve up a variety of other items alongside with its noodle offerings — this would include the Yujia Homemade Trio Treasures which comes with Fish Paste, Pork Paste and Fish Tofu, while those looking for rice dishes can also opt for the Hakka Fried Pork Rice with Frjed Egg. Yujia Fried Pork Century Egg Dumplings Noodle also offers a variety of side dishes on its menu as well; this would mostly be variants of their Century Egg Dumpling, as well as the Hakka Fried Pork.
The best way to give everything that Yujia Fried Pork Century Egg Dumplings Noodle specialises in is to go for the Hakka Fried Pork Century Egg Dumpling Noodles. Yujia Fried Pork Century Egg Dumplings Noodle serves up two (2) variants of the Hakka Fried Pork Century Egg Dumpling Noodles; one being the dry variant, while the other would be the soup variant. We went for the dry variant — whilst this is something pretty much in accordance to our usual preferences, it is also well-noted that the Dry variant is the one that is being listed as a recommended choice here. Yujia Fried Pork Century Egg Dumplings Noodle does not quite describe the elements that comes with their various dishes on the menu; aside from the Fried Pork and the Century Egg Dumplings, it is noted that the default type of noodles that is being served with the Hakka Fried Pork Century Egg Dumpling Noodles would be the Hakka Noodles, while the dish also does come accompanied with fried dough fritters. The Century Egg Dumplings also comes in a bowl of soup as soup dumplings; separate from the bowl of dry noodles.
As with most Malaysian-style dry noodles out there, the Hakka Noodles does come swimming in a pool of dark sauce which provides ample flavour when tosses the noodles a bit before digging in. One thing we did note about the fried stuff that was served alongside the noodles was how they seemed to have been fried for quite a while before we dropped by the establishment during dinner service — both the fried dough fritters and the fried pork does seem to have lost quite a bit of its intended crispness, with the fried dough fritters being quite soft and limp. That being said, the fried pork did thankfully did not feel particularly greasy; the parts used also seemed to be fairly lean and the batter does come with a distinct umami note of fermented beancurd that was used during the preparation process — the meat also does not come with any undesirable porky stench. Meanwhile, the Century Egg Dumplings comes with a silky and smooth dumpling wrapper — one can also observe that the Century Egg Dumplings comes with meat filling and a wedge of century egg within. Whilst the meat filling does provide a little bit of a bouncy bite without being particularly meaty, the century egg provides a firm bite for a little bit of contrast; we liked how the flavours of the century egg isn’t particularly strong, but adds this savoury yet sweet note that pretty much compliments whatever else in the dumplings. Whilst century egg dumplings is something that seems to be a combination if one searches online for it, it does seem that it is still a fairly uncommon item to be found within the local dining scene here. We do like how Yujia Fried Pork Century Egg Dumplings is bringing more exposure of century egg dumplings to the masses here, though we do wish that these folks can relook into the business processes to serve up the fried items fresher and better that would improve the overall dining experience. With that being said, the noodle / rice offerings at Yujia Fried Pork Century Egg Dumplings do come reasonably priced, with the dishes being priced in the range of $6 to $6.50; a spot that is worth trying for the curious especially for those residing in the Tiong Bahru neighbourhood.
