Hard to imagine, just selling SMELLY Beancurd, this shop in 平東 can have a take-away queue that never seems to end plus a shop-ful of hungry customers anticipating the deep fried beancurd.
A big plate costs NTD90 while a small one costs NTD60. The smell was unmistakable the moment you walk near the stall. It's so famous that people (like us) drive 45mins from Kaoshiung city just to get here.
Even the people cooking it have to wear masks (probably cos of the smell). But like they say, the smellier the tofu, the better it tastes. (Durian?)
Looking at the photo below, you surely must be able to guess the health-rating I'm going to give this dish. The only way this can score higher is if it tastes so good that it's worth the 40mins drive.
The skin is addictively crispy, the preserved veg provides for a nice balance to the crunchy tofu. The smell is non-existent (trust me), the fermentation process just helps add to the texture of the inside of the tau-kua. When served fresh from the boiling oil-wok, damn solid!
Healthnut Rating:
Comments: Tofu, being one of my favourite food, no matter how it's cooked, justifies the rating. I'm feeling hungry just looking at the photos again. Looks like the blog is not a good idea after all to prevent me from eating too much, if I get hungry everytime I blog =)
