Chow Tofu(smelly bean curd)

Since today i have some free time, im going to introduce some food that stinks lol.

Looking at the Q, i dont have to say a word,people are crazy for this piece of smelly bean curd


Next to this stall there is a stall selling the same thing, but it aint smelly enough, this stall i can say u dont wanna go near it, but people is lining up and waiting, so i just try it out following the craze,

I bought tofu is in Ampang during some festival, but they have it in other pasar malam(night market)

This is what they use to soak the tofu in, what i smell is like expired milk, when im standing near i dont smell any thing, only a little bit, but when im far phew!!! u wanna run away

After lining up for 30min this is what i get,

I can say the taste is just deep fried tofu with a bit sourish taste in it, and they give a pack of cabbage and chili sauce. The cabbage is a little bit sweet and spicy, just enough to cover the smell.
So overall i can say our malaysian version smelly tofu is not that hard to eat hehehe.

here is what i find in Taiwan, lol

Evan the seller also wearing a mask hahaha, i did tried it, all of my friend beside me just run away lol, it's alot more smellier that our malaysian version, but the sauce and the cabbage cover the smell a bit.

I didnt get to try the wet version of smelly tofu, its not deep fried, and i heard its 10x worse than the deep fried.
