Shenkeng Tofu Street
Stinky Tofu

Stinky tofu, or chòu dòufu (臭豆腐), is a form of fermented tofu that has a strong odor. Some say it is reminiscent of strong body odor. Popular in Taiwan as a street food dish, the traditional method of producing stinky tofu is in a brine of fermented milk, vegetables and meat. You can tell right away when you walk by a stinky tofu stall, whether in a subway station or at a night market. Despite its pungent smell, which earned it the nickname of the “blue cheese” of tofu, it is delicious. For the best stinky tofu, visit the old Shenkeng Tofu Street on Shenkeng Street in Taipei, Taiwan.
