Tau Fu Faa

Tau Fu Faa, or sweet tofu soup, is one of those deceptively simple Hong Kong food whose potential for satisfaction far outweighs the complexity of its ingredients. It looks eerily similar to the Philippine favorite tofu dessert Taho.

Visit the countryside, particularly in the Lamma Island area, to discover the best sweet tofu soup in town. It's amazingly smooth and soft, added with generous amount of lightly sweet syrup and then sprinkled with yellow sugar. This is crucial as the sharp sugar sweetness compliments the musty soya taste of the tofu.
