Tofu is the kind of food I didn’t fancy as a kid, but I began to love it as I grew older. Now, it has become one of my favorite foods.
I guess maturity plays an important role in this change. As we get older, we become more aware of what foods are healthy for us and make conscious decisions about our choices. It may not be the case for everyone, but for me, it matters what I put in my body and the quality of nutrition it provides.
And that's what I had for lunch: a nice slab of tofu that was slightly deep-fried and then sautéed with other delicious ingredients. The texture of deep-fried tofu is particularly appealing because the exterior remains firm while the inside stays soft and creamy. This type of tofu has an interesting texture, being slightly solid and somewhat gelatinous. Meanwhile, the skin absorbs the flavor of the sauce and seasonings. It also helps that the chef added minced pork, green beans, and mushrooms, which made the dish tastier and more nutritious.
The other dishes I ordered were sautéed pork strips and scrambled eggs. The combination of these three dishes was very filling and satisfying. I enjoyed every bit of the flavors from the different dishes.
One of the dishes was scrambled eggs. The amount of onions the chef added made the dish taste sweeter. I love the type of onions used in this dish. They don't have a strong aroma or flavor but add a nice texture, crunch, and sweetness.
I would definitely come back to enjoy this type of egg dish again soon.
The hawker food stall that I went to is the Original Taste food stall at Crawford Lane. There is a long queue every day at lunch time!
