Commonly found variants; note these may range from acceptable alternatives to non-standard forms or incorrect spellings*.
* Singlish is a largely spoken creole, and as such descriptivism (recording forms that reflect actual pronunciation in spoken language, or as appearing in the linguistic corpus) is more pertinent than strict prescriptivism. Nevertheless, the use of more standard forms (or for words originating in languages with Latin script, such as Malay, accurate to the original spelling) is recommended and encouraged.

noun

  1. a dish of Hakka origin, traditionally consisting of tofu stuffed with a paste of ground pork which is then pan-fried or braised. In Singapore, the dish often includes a number of other items, especially the "Hakka Three Treasures" of brinjal, bitter melon, and chilli peppers, which are also stuffed with the same paste.

    2. This Hakka Yong Tau Foo (YTF) recipe was my granny’s who migrated from China to Singapore many many years ago. ... My granny used to cook this dish for us without fail every time we go to her place for Lunar New Year reunion dinner and I used to dislike it a lot. But now that I’m all grown up and she is no longer with us, I’m starting to appreciate and even crave for her YTF every now and then.
