Thumbs up for stuffed beancurd and tau pok!
2013-04-16

Panfried Yong Yau Foo (Stuffed beancurd)
This was one of the best renditions of this simple Hakka dish. Instead of the meat paste of fish and pork being stuffed into the beancurd, it was actually a thin layer plastered atop the soft beancurd. The meat paste was pan-fried to a crisp surface and it was perfectly done so without it being overcooked. The seasoning was appropriate, with just the right balance of savouriness.The beancurd also had a thin crisp layer wrapping the soft inside. There were several sauces (sweet chili, sweet sauce and chili sauce) that were available at the table to go along with the dishes but even on its own, the stuffed beancurd was well balanced in texture and flavour.
With an old aunt standing at the front of the shop preparing and cooking, the stuffed beancurd cannot get any fresher!

Verdict: 8.5/10

Fried Beancurd (Tau Pok)
The 'tau pok' was crisp and fried to a golden brown. Despite the crusty surface to the dried beancurd, the inside was hollow. I would certainly say that this dish was a perfect complement to the above stuffed beancurd. Despite being deep fried, what we enjoyed about this local snack was that it was not overly greasy.

Verdict: 8.5/10

Soya beancurd

Despite this being one of the signature products at the shop, we still maintain our stance that the best one tried so far was 'Ah Yuk' at Yuen Long. The lack of soya beans' fragrance was the main flaw and while it was smooth, it was not the smoothest tried, be it the warm or cold version. (we ordered both to try the difference) If you had to choose one, do go for the warm version, for the cold version tasted more 'curdy'.
There was a lady (the one in blue above) who stood at the front of the shop doing takeaway orders for soya beancurd and soya milk.

Verdict: 7.0/10
Not photographed - we ordered two bottles of soya bean milk (sugar-free) and similar to the soya beancurd, we found that there was a lack of fragrance. We would return for the stuffed beancurd and fried beancurd, but might probably pass on the soya beancurd.

Supplementary Information：
Expect a really cramped place or share table with other diners. It can be pretty stuffy inside the eatery and with the constant stream of diners coming, you would not be wanting to stay much longer after finishing.

I lift my hat to the old bean shop!

Hello everyone,

This bean shop is my old favourite in Sham Shui Po, I call it a bean shop because one could actually find a whole raft of bean products in it. This shop seems to be busy 365 days of a year, and one have to try her luck finding a seat at once, seldom although, and also be expected to sit with strangers as a norm.
It is not a place about sitting comfortably the whole afternoon exchanging profundities with your best friends, it seems that the shop opens a small window to the sub culture of city dwellers for whom serving fast and eating fast are something they praise as efficiency, and the “bean shop” is an epitome of it!
When I was walking to my seat I yelled (not rude in the context) out for a bowl of cold 凍豆腐花and a plate of煎釀雙拼 , and quite amazingly no sooner had I made my ordering than I found that the two things I had ordered was actually coming along with me, and rested nearly at the same time on my table as I rested my buttocks on my chair!
I always love to have the豆腐花without brown sugar (ready to be served on the table), it was so refreshing as ever, although not an intense aroma of bean as some would expect. I think the凍豆腐花and凍豆漿may well be the reason why even in a hot, humid summer afternoon the bean shop without an air conditioner is flocked in by so many and still a dozen or so of them waiting outside!
The fried stuffs is a legend too, if you want more intense taste of soya bean I suggest you order the豆腐instead of the豆卜. Anyway both of them are good, and the meat on top of the 豆腐and 豆卜are tinged with fermented orange skin (a culinary treasure out of fecund imagination of the southern Chinese) which tasted so delicious indeed!

Supplementary Information：
I am really sad that nowadays a lot of those traditional small scale business are being gradually swept out of Hong Kong, due to redevelopment of old district and high rental as a result of tourists coming to HK from the mainland.

A great little store with a limited variety of excellent tofu options. Mainly Tofu-Fa (a chinese dessert item served both hot or cold), Soy milk, Deep fried tofu, pan fried tofu with fish paste and they also sell tofu by the blocks. I had the Tofu-Fa and it was very smooth, very fresh with a bit of added sugar. The pan fried tofu with fish paste was also excellent. Truly one of the best tofu places around.

Tasty Afternoon Snack
2011-03-16

Dating back to when stores specialized in one item, this soy product store sells almost any soy-related food product and makes for a great place to stop for a tasty afternoon snack after wandering around Ap Liu Street.

The main items revolve consist of:
Soy milk
Soy gelatin (curd)
Fried tofu with fish paste

Since this is a specialized store, everything has a much stronger soybean taste than the factory-produced items. Even though there's probably nothing that will scare novices, come with a local to try a variety of items.

Seating is very basic on folding tables and round stools but that's part of the charm.

The soy curd came in a very generous portion with sweet sugar syrup base. If it's not sweet enough for your already, you can add "yellow sugar" from the containers sitting on each table. It's very filling, so get it to share if you want to try other things. The soy curd was very firm and had a slight soybean taste, a good sign that it was made from a high percentage of soy beans, rather than gelatin.

The fried tofu with fish paste is also a specialty and was nicely pan-fried with a crispy skin, but soft tofu on the inside, as well as fish paste on top. Add some of the sweet chili sauce for a real treat.

For less than $20 per item, this place is a steal, although not offering the best environment.

love it! I wish all these old-style shops will stay around forever.
A simple bowl of tofu fa, a simple glass of soy milk is enough to charge you up or even make your better.
I could spend hours just watching the staff work in the little room at the back and their speedy services.
Their newer, cleaner store is closer to me but I'd still come here.
Sometimes, the atmosphere and ambiance can make a dish taste better....
