Fucian Stinky Tofu (府前臭豆腐) @ Tainan City in Taiwan

I was wondering why I can't find this particular stinky tofu eatery at Tainan; has it closed down?! Turned out there was a change of name to 初味麵館, a noodle house even though noodles and rice options wer initially already available back when I was there early this year.

Whatever the case, I can eat stinky tofu every night when I was in Taiwan! On its own, tofu is a high protein food although my insane love for it was reserved only for its sinful, deep fried version

Without much customers on a Thursday evening, my serving of crispy stinky tofu in whole pieces didn't take too long to be served on my table; I timed about 6-7 minutes. 

As seen from the above, the insides of each piece of stinky tofu was "meaty" with the beehive pattern that resulted in a juicy, squidgy texture that should have complemented with the crispness from the deep-fried shell. Sadly, the excessive serving of sauce soften the texture, reducing the satisfaction as I bit through.

Saving grace was the pickled vegetables; one of the best thus far for the trip with the crunchy vinegar sour-sweetness that made it so endearing! Having eaten enough stinky tofu, I had to say that the pickled vegetables played an essential role for your virgin stinky tofu experience! 

See how much sauce there were!
