Since I dearly love tofu custard desserts, and get my hands on one whenever I get a chance, I thought I’d do a comparison of tofu custard desserts I ate on this trip. Would love others’ opinion as well.

Kung Wo in Sham Shui Po has been around since 1909, and sells all forms of soy-based food, e.g. tofu, dried tofu skin, soy milk, tofu custard. We got the tofu, soy milk and tofu custard that evening.
The tofu custard was very smooth, and came with a bag of yellow sugar for liberal sprinkling on the custard. The tofu was notable for its soy-iness, often absent from most renditions of tofu custards. The tofu fragrance came from the slow stone-grinding of soy beans, which helped retain the aroma. It was one spectacular bowl of tofu custard. I somewhat regret that we only got two bowls to go that day. Should have gotten like half a dozen to slowly enjoy. If not for the fact that tofu custard doesn’t travel well internationally, I would have brought them home .
The tofu itself was also notably soy-iy, just like the custard. Even the parents appreciated the aroma. Thumbs up from them.
