Mini Star (HK) Fermented Beancurd at 795 Geylang Road

Information About

This is purportedly Singapore's first and longest standing eatery that sells fermented beancurd. I first tried the dish in Hongkong 15 years ago, and had been looking for it in Singapore ever since. This eatery does one of the most decent versions locally, down to that pungent smell that hits your nostrils when it is served. My mum shared that this might have used to be in a Chinatown hawker centre when it first opened, but then had to move out to its own eatery when neighbouring hawkers started complaining about the pungent smell of the fermented beancurd. -- Contributed by R.
