Stinky Tofu (HOU)?

[smirkrevenge]

As a Houston resident, it is pretty surprising to me that there isn't an authentic Chinese/Taiwanese place that serves stinky tofu. With such an extensive Chinatown, you would think there is at least one...or am I missing out on a hidden gem?

I can see the Houston Health Department getting scared of that stuff.

For whatever reasons, the Houston Health Dept. does not allow restaurants to serve this. I was told it had something to do with the fermintation process.

The place that used to serve it in the Welcome Food Center, does not anymore. : (

Ay Chung, the Taiwanese noodle chain has a dry fried version of stinky tofu (in sauce). Kind of resembles (in texture) the fried salt/pepper tofu you see in some Chinese restaurants, and is not as stinky as the wet stuff. Ay Chung is at 9338 Bellaire.

there was a place, not sure if it's there anymore, on Bellaire in the strip center near the Welcome Food Center. sorry, the name escapes me, but perhaps someone else can help you out.
