Stinky tofu (臭豆腐) is a fermented bean curd that stinks. It’s an iconic Hong Kong street food, but it’s not that easy to find it these days. Luckily we still managed to spot (or smell) some eateries selling it in Mongkok…

This was my first try on stinky tofu. Most people who tried it before would suggest that it smells bad but tastes ok (or good), which was quite true. The deep-fried tofu was a bit too salty, but the texture was nice… crunchy on the outside and spongy in the inside. I kinda liked it actually.
