A refreshing sweet-and-sour treat—don’t miss the honey-soaked kumquat tofu pudding!

I heard from a friend that the kumquat tofu pudding cart, originally located under the 7-11 on Lai Nan Street, had moved to Fuyeh Road. It’s a pity I never got the chance to revisit until I happened to be in Yancheng District on a holiday. Remembering this, I rushed right over. With the new storefront, the business hours have also been extended. Previously, you had to line up before noon to buy it, or you’d miss out. Now the shop stays open until evening, so office workers like us can still satisfy our cravings after work without leaving disappointed.

The familiar lake-green two-wheeled cart has accompanied the shop for many years and has now been retired, placed at the storefront as a kind of alternative living signboard!

The shop only sells tofu pudding and soy milk. The signature kumquat tofu pudding costs 35 NT per bowl. It’s worth noting that soy milk needs to be pre-ordered. From observation, most nearby residents take their orders to go, often buying surprisingly large quantities. With only one staff member, the shop can’t handle both dine-in and takeout orders at the same time—you have to wait your turn once the staff finishes serving others.

Peanut ice tofu pudding – 35 NT
It’s been several years since I last had tofu pudding from this shop. Enjoying it in-store, I was struck by how generous the portion was, with plenty of peanuts giving an impression of hearty, substantial value.

The tofu pudding doesn’t have an overly strong bean aroma—the texture is somewhere between fresh soybean and traditional tofu pudding, smooth and bright white. The peanuts aren’t soft and fluffy like usual; instead, they have a bit of chew and bite, which is quite unique.

This place is arguably the best for kumquat tofu pudding. The kumquats are likely pre-soaked in honey, and drizzling them over the pudding gives the whole bowl a fragrant, tangy kumquat flavor that’s especially refreshing in summer.

If you bite into a kumquat by itself, it’s actually quite sour—it’s usually just used to enhance the flavor. Whether to eat the kumquats along with the pudding is entirely up to personal taste.

With the relocation to a proper storefront and extended business hours, there’s no need to endure scorching sun while queuing anymore. However, whether the single staff member can handle the demand remains to be seen. Welcome back, both old and new friends, to Yancheng District’s signature snack—kumquat tofu pudding—and rediscover the sweet-and-sour delight at the new location.
