The smell that makes your mouth water..

Well.. not exactly the best smelling snack on Earth. Behold, the most notorious snack in Chinese cuisine, the stinky tofu. You can smell this from a mile away if they made it properly. It smells literally like the combination of garbage (specifically compost) and excrement, I'm not exaggerating (yeah yeah, ew I know). Rumour has it that the way Ancient Chinese found the tofu has rotten in their kitchen, and since the village people were very poor, they just fried the tofu and ate it. I overheard this guy while waiting for the tofu that people used to submerge the tofu in leftovers hence creating the reeking smell. Of course, they no longer do this. 

The texture is like any other fried tofu, but despite the nasty smell, the tofu actually tastes better (and it doesn't taste like how it smells). You could either dip it in a sweet sauce (the black one) or the chilli sauce. For some reason, the nasty smell actually enhances the flavours of the tofu. This dish is not for everyone, I just happen to like it. For those brave souls out there, definitely give this a try! This is an experience you'll remember for sure!
