Just an inside scoop.
The two 928 Coffeeshop are owned by the Pang family and is a freehold property.
Due to differences, the youngest sister of the Pang family went to set up shop just two shops away selling exactly the same Ampang Yong Tow Fu, with recipe that closely resemble that of 928.
For the record though 928 is touted as the Original Ampang Yueng Tow Fu Stall and has been featured in many of Mediacorp's TV programs on food, and has received much accolades.
On a personal note : if you were to ask me which Ampang Yong Tow Fu stall tastes better to my liking ?
Has you ask me the same question back in 2003 - 2004 when I used to frequent it religiously every week,I'd say it had to be 928 Upp Thomson.
But my visit last night to 928 goes to prove one thing : consistency is the key to success in every food business. I realised the gravy was way too diluted.
My verdict : I actually preferred the youngest sister stall just next door, the gravy still maintains the consistency and not diluted, plus, there is very little MSG.
