Unexpectedly, nestled within the traditional market of Dongshan Township in Yilan is a rustic tofu pudding shop made entirely of wood. The owner insists on using healthy salt brine to make tofu and tofu pudding, and for takeout, only offers glass jar rentals—guests are even encouraged to bring their own containers.

Open for about three months, the unique “Flying Fish Food Dye” quickly gained online attention. What’s most special is that it’s located in Dongshan Old Market, where stalls have been gradually disappearing. The elderly in the market tend to a few stalls selling fresh meat, and right next to the “Flying Fish Food Dye” is a pork vendor—forming a striking contrast with this wooden, hipster-style tofu pudding shop.

  1. The traditional Dongshan Market is a place where locals shop for groceries in the morning and grab late-night snacks in the evening.
  2. The owner of “Flying Fish Food Dye,” Lai Xiangyu, opened the shop hoping to uphold health and environmental principles.
  3. The wooden tofu pudding shop stands out remarkably in the traditional market.
