| - The stinky tofu. Oh man. Never have I ever, nor shall I ever doubt there is a glorious upside to every unattractive, unappealing, even gross offering. There is definitely more than meets the eye when it comes to "stinky tofu".
Think: kimchi, nuc mum, shrimp paste, preserved bean curd, curd, cheese, aged anything, balut... the good ol'king of foul odor that has render nations to surrender "Durian".
Stinky tofu is no more or less than any of the above mentioned. It's acquired. But my first introduction was rude and gross because maybe it was timing, maybe it was the actual product that was less than stellar.
At Mei's, they do Stinky Tofu justice. Sweet, crunchy with the perfect accompaniment of oyster sauce, it exudes jus the perfect amount of sweet funk that is actually pleasant and not in the least offensive. We had this twice, when we should have had this five more times.
Other stuff were decent but all I can and want to remember is their Stinky yummy tofu.
