Perfect spot for anything soy-based! Ordered the fried tofu with lemongrass chilli, hot tofu pudding with ginger syrup, and the fresh soft tofu.Tofu pudding: SO soft, you can taste that fresh soy milk taste. Straight up nostalgic.Fried tofu lemongrass chili: Get this! Fried fresh to order. Crunchy on the outside, silky and flavorful on the inside.
My guilty pleasure when I'm in the area. Cash only place and serves fresh hot tofu pudding! Brings me back to country bumpkin childhood days in China where it was a luxury to buy tofu pudding afterschool from a cart in a plastic bag lol. This place has it pre-packed with syrup packaged and ready to go.I only found this location because I saw the Tofu sign while driving by. It's one of those locals only known spots that is very unassuming from the outside and inside....
Lucked out because they also had pandan tofu and black sesame soy milk which I heard were available on weekends.
The tofu pudding was super smooth and silken. Syrup had slices of ginger just like the olden days. Both regular and pandan flavors were delicious.
The soy milks were perfectly sweetened ( I prefer less sweet and appreciated that it was just that.)...
