Taiyin Tofu Pudding

Taiyin Tofu Pudding

　　This small vendor, located next to the Bank of Taiwan, has neither a signboard nor seating. Yet, with its silky and delicious tofu pudding, it draws a steady stream of customers every day. Starting at 8 a.m., they sell out their three large buckets and then close up shop. Taiyin Tofu Pudding has been passed down through three generations for over 70 years. From ingredient selection and soaking, to grinding the soybeans, filtering the residue, and adding gypsum — every step is precisely mastered, resulting in an exceptionally Q-textured and smooth taste. The accompanying ginger syrup is made from locally grown old ginger, which reduces the bitterness and spiciness while adding a rich, aromatic flavor. (Taichung County)
