Stinky tofu

I've not managed to get a photograph of the stinky tofu that I ate at Mongkok. It costs HK2, equivalent to about RM1 /piece.

Before the trip, I was told that we could smell the stink from one end of the street to the stall. It wasn't the case. I actually had trouble locating the stall that sold this HK delicacy.

When I actually found it, it looked simply like a piece of fried tofu, with a slight herby scent to it. Taking a bite, the sensation of the smell hit home like an 18 wheeler. Phew! Not pungent, but definitely an acquired taste. I took two bites, felt the rotten texture of the tofu in my mouth, and the rest went into the rubbish bin.

Yucks!
