Lao Ban Bean Curd versus Tiong Bahru Teck Seng Bean Curd


                                              Maxwell Road Lao Ban Soya Bean Curd 


                                     

Tiong Bahru Bean Curd 

        Singapore is a foodie's haven and today's post is comparing 2 best bead curd dishes I have eaten. The top one is called Lao Ban Soya Bean Curd, the original hawker stall was at Old Airport Road hawker center and the queues there were easily about 45 minutes to 1 hour long.

       I bought 2 bowls yesterday 10th Oct of these from Maxwell Road's branch, and tried them, the curd is smooth once the top layer is broken into, there is a sweetness to the bean curd and the flabour is apparent. The price per bowl if I recall is $1.50. Not cheap by any means. 

      The second photo above is from Tiong Bahru's Tiong Seng Bean Curd, the stall is somewhere to the right of the hawker center on 2nd level. We have been eating this for the longest time every sunday after the wife does the marketing and it is cheap and good. The bean curd is dished out from the plastic bins and lathered with syrup. Price for a large bowl is $0.90 and a small bowl costs $0.80. The bean curd is very smooth in texture however, the flavour is milder compared to Lao Ban's bean curd. We had 2 bowls of this today 11th October for breakfast.  

Verdict : Lao Ban is better for taste, but more pricy at $1.50 per bowl. Tiong Bahru Teck Seng is better for texture and cheaper at $0.90 per large bowl.
