Flip traditional snacks on their head: Pingtung’s exclusive sweet stinky tofu sprinkled with sesame powder and peanuts

The retro-Japanese-style mobile food truck is none other than the humble “A Bowl of Tofu” eatery. Despite lacking lavish décor or seating, its popularity remains undiminished. Everything—from pickled radishes and handmade tofu to signature sauces—is crafted by the owner. It’s this rustic, hard-to-find goodness that gives the stinky tofu its heartwarming appeal. The only downside? All items are available in limited daily quantities and sell out by closing time.

▲ The visually appealing Xuan Yu Tofu becomes even more eye-catching with its sprinkle of black sesame.

“Xuan Yu Tofu” challenges new creativity—instead of being served with salty sauce or kimchi, the hot tofu is topped with black sesame powder and peanuts. Bite into the crispy skin, and the tender white tofu bursts out with a smooth texture and a hint of sweetness, creating an unforgettable flavor explosion that has quickly become a popular menu star.

▲ White Jade Tofu and the signature stinky tofu are also top menu picks.

White Jade Tofu is perfect for those who prefer milder flavors. With no extra fillings, it’s simply freshly fried tofu, letting you enjoy the most authentic bean curd aroma. Meanwhile, the signature stinky tofu also earns high praise, best enjoyed mixed with pickled red and white radishes and tender ginger slices, then drizzled with a unique sauce not found elsewhere—widely loved by customers.
