Stinky Tofu

I first ate Stinky Tofu on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the subtly sweet and aromatic quality I remembered. soy-braised pork was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong. Taiwanese n…

Stinky Tofu at this place was fine. The umami-rich flavour was there but not distinguished. soy-braised pork was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference.

I took a cooking class specifically to learn how to make Stinky Tofu correctly. The instructor explained why oyster sauce is used the way it is — something I'd never understood from just eating it. The comforting and warming result when you make it yourself is different. bubble tea was invented in …
