Prawn Bee Hoon and Stinky Tofu @ Liuhe Night Market in Kaohsiung [Taiwan]

Our primary priority upon arrival at Liuhe Night Market was to have dinner and two competing makeshift food stalls next to each other drew our attention; would it be the rich wok-hei tze char or the pungently fragrant stinky tofu?! 

The granny with her decades of experience firing the work was definitely a sight to behold and Alex was captivated by her skill, cementing his desire to have a bite of at  least one of eighteen dishes on the menu! 

Well, I was tempted but I am craving for stinky tofu. 

So, why not try both of them at the same time?!

Prawn Bee Hoon - at just NT$100 (about S$4) a plate, I was impressed with the more than ten prawns mixed in with the bee hoon. p.s. more starch than bee hoon although not an issue for me. 

With that massive fire underneath the wok, I am expecting an intensely rich wok hei that begged me to return. Reality was that it's the sweetness of the dish that caught me off-guard. Alex loved what he had whereas I am happier with the crunchy prawns. 

Stinky Tofu - served on a plate wrapped with a plastic sheet, I must say the operator must have hated washing dishes! Now, when this was served to my table, I honestly couldn't catch even a faint whiff of the stinkiness! 

The stinkiness puffed out with a bite through the tofu! Aroma aside, the taste was sadly pretty blaned and I needed the saltish spicy chilli to elevate the flavour. Saving grace was the cold cabbage that was crunchy with my preferred vinegarish-sweet marination.
