Thoughts: This is not the "old neighborhood" or Seksyen 21 SeaPark, but the location is also being referred to as Taman Sea which is SS23 (just next to Taman Megah of SS24). Some of the shop lots are facing SS23/13 and others are facing LDP.

SS23's "頭家 Tau Ke" offers an interesting range of mostly Rice and limited 粥和湯食譜 Porridge and Soup Recipes, also interesting range of 麵包食譜 Bun recipes as well as Side dishes and Platters like "烤鴨拼盤 Roasted Duck Platter" or "香辣烤雞拼盤 Ayam Panggang Berempah Platter".
Today's lunch is an interesting rm$16.95 "紫薯粥 Purple Potato Porridge" which comes with the 紫薯粥 Purple Potato Porridge plus a number of sides which includes 小菜心 Pickled lettuce, 炸江魚仔 Fried Anchovies, 鹹蛋 Salted egg, 滷豆腐 Braised Tofu, 花生 Nuts, 滷豬肉 Braised Pork, some kind of 酸辣酱 sour dip sauce, and 豆腐乳 Fermented Bean Curd.
Fun Facts: 白粥配腐乳或鹹蛋和小菜心 Porridge with Fermented Bean Curd or Salted egg and small Pickled lettuce is a nostalgic child hood dish, and maybe the simplest preparation required for a dish with a complex and acquired taste. The Fermented Bean Curd (fǔrǔ, 腐乳), also called 發酵豆腐 Fermented Tofu, 豆奶酪 Bean Cheese, or 豆腐芝士 Tofu Cheese. This intriguing "中國奶酪 Chinese Cheese", and some Chinese people still have a unique living habit of keeping a jar or two of these fermented tofu in the fridge. Growing up I’ve always been eating rice congee or just white rice along with fermented tofu where the simplest meal is to pull out half a cube from the jar and eat it with a bowl of warm rice for a meal, personally this "中國奶酪 Chinese Cheese" also goes well spreading them on a slice of bread!
Perhaps just like 榴蓮 Durian, and although different from 臭豆腐 Sticky Tofu, the 腐乳 Fermented Bean Curd with its "強烈的刺鼻氣味 strong acrid smell" and creamy "not pretty" texture is an acquired taste. BUT the enduring delicacy of the 腐乳 Fermented Bean Curd has been a 傳統民間美食 characteristic traditional folk food that has been around in China for Thousands of Years. And because of its good taste (acquired taste), "high nutrition", can last for at least 6 months to 1 year in the refrigerator and that the flavors is even known to improve over time; this unique food is still deeply loved by some Chinese people and people of Southeast Asia, and many Chinese Chef uses it as a condiment for a variety of Chinese dishes.
The "high nutrition" part is because one report claims that the fermentation process generates 異黃酮 isoflavones (that prevents chronic diseases), and that fermented bean curd has 零膽固醇 zero cholesterol, and could reduce the risk of 冠心病 coronary heart disease, 降低血壓 lower blood pressure, and 預防骨質疏鬆 prevent osteoporosis; while just like anything, too much of it can be bad for your health due to its 高鹽 high salt and 高嘌呤食物 high purine.
