REALLY GOOD
1st DEEP-FRIED BEANCURD WITH SALT AND PEPPER
Dragon-i Peking Duck Restaurant @ 1 Utama Shopping Mall, Petaling Jaya
Wow. Definitely not your run-of-the-mill tofu. There’s a crispy (not crunchy!) batter forming a shell around those little delicate cubes of soft, silken tofu that gives an amazing textural contrast in one bite. How they do that without breaking up that soft tofu is a mystery to me.
2nd CHILLED TOFU WITH PIDAN
Folklore, Singapore
“Rich but clean tasting tofu dish with pickled radish and century egg, great with spicy food as helps with reducing the heat.” Served cold, this was a perfect counter to the spicy food that we had. One of my favourite dishes of this meal. Definitely worth ordering!
3rd SMELLY TOFU
Jin Taiwan 今台湾, Puchong
This seemingly boring looking dish is anything but boring. Once this reaches your table, your nose will be assaulted by the glorious, tantalizing aroma of... clogged drains... 😂. Definitely not for the faint-hearted! The best way to eat this is to top the piece of tofu with some pickled cabbage and spicy bean sauce, pop it into your mouth and enjoy. The burst of flavours is indescribable!
4th AGEDASHI TOFU
Rakuzen @Empire Shopping Gallery, Subang Jaya
Soft, silky tofu which has been deep-fried and served in broth. How does one not like tofu?
5th SOFT BIG STINKY TOFU (ORIGINAL)
Chew Chew Chow Tofu Puchong Food Truck 超超臭豆腐蒲种餐车, Puchong
Served with pickles and their original chili sauce. I love, love, love, love, love the big stinky ones. Imagine biting into that crispy exterior and revealing soft, juicy (yes juicy!) tofu with some crunchy pickled cabbage for contrast. So satisfying. Smells like clogged drains but tastes so damn good. Ugh. My mouth is watering right now and I’ll craving for more.
7th TOFU NUGGETS
4Fingers Crispy Chicken @ Puchong Utama, Puchong
Wowee, so much better than what I expected! Despite the slight condensation from being in the box, these tofu nuggets were still crispy and yet soft and spongy on the inside. Very nice and I would definitely reorder!
10th BRAISED TAU KWA
Restoran Law Cheang Kee 璋记饭店, Nibong Tebal
It’s a simple dish of firm tofu quick-braised with some vegetables and seafood. But it’s extremely tasty and goes well with white rice.
11th PRESERVED EGG TOFU
House Of PETAI Restaurant, Puchong
Cold tofu topped with preserved eggs. Done well and very flavourful.
PRETTY GOOD
14th TAUHU BAKAR
Taman Selera PJ Old Town, Petaling Jaya
Grilled crispy tofu pockets stuffed with bean sprouts, jicama and crushed peanuts in rojak sauce. These were really good. Sweet, savoury, crunchy, crispy bites of delight! Don’t waste time with chopsticks and just pick them up with your fingers. It will be messy but there is a washing area nearby. Bonus review - The popiah was just ok. I think the skin is a bit too thick and needs more items in the filling. Still a nice snack, but I would definitely recommend the tauhu bakar instead. (From stall #45)
15th BRAISED TOFU WITH ANGLED LUFFA
Restoran Hua Xing, Petaling Jaya
One of those family favourites that we usually end up ordering. Tofu was soft and silky smooth.
16th TAHU SAMBAL
Restoran Devi's Corner, Petaling Jaya
Super spicy and I liked it a lot. Not so suitable for those who can’t handle the heat!
