i have always been a fan of bean curds, soy milk and and all the other snacks related to tofu. i never really found a restaurant in vancouver that serves soy bean curds that taste as good as those serve in singapore. this is not until i tried jackson’s soy beancurd that he brought home. he had a huge tub of beancurd, worth 10bucks so he gave milton and i a huge bowl each for supper.  even though i was bloated from the dinner at goto king, i still finished the huge bowl of cold tofu pudding because it is so pleasing to my tastebuds. the price is too much for a small bowl though !

on victoria day, after a fulfilling  lunch at kim ga nae with my 7 friends, we walked past this store when we were on the way to aberdeen mall. jackson told me that this is the place he got his pudding from so we came here after a long walk at the mall. i gotta admit that i wouldn’t have known about this place if not for my friend’s recommendation. the restaurant looks really simple and most tables only cater for 2 people each. there is a long table at the counter to cater for large groups though. the people do not really expect tips but we gave them the standard 10% anyways. i was shocked that the store offers a variety of tofu puddings. diversity definitely makes things more interesting, don’t they? it was also really cool that we could see how they were making the tofu pudding from afar.

1st picture – since we had a lot of choices to choose from, i was pretty fickle-minded. i kept thinking what should i get but in the end, i decided to go back to the basics – just the ordinary extra smooth soy pudding (CAN$3) served hot. it tastes pretty bland without the ginger and sugar but with it, it is so delectable ! the tofu is really firm yet smooth and we saw that it is fresh directly from the cooker. they even have the long dough to compliment it with the soy milk/pudding but i totally forgot to order it.

2nd picture – emily had the chocolate flavored soy pudding that is only available in cold ones. initially, she stated that it is not good at all. after adding ginger, she finally likes it and is able to finish her pudding.

3rd picture – wt had the soy pudding with red bean paste for CAN$3.50 and he really likes it. he finished his pudding within seconds !
