Taiwan - Stinky Tofu mission

My first article will be about the food I especially stopped for in Taiwan, on my way to South East Asia.

Stinky tofu (臭豆腐 in Chinese, Pinyin: chòu dòufu): Is a fermented tofu with strong odor.

All the story began when i was watching the Bizzare Food with Andrew Zimmern where he reached his limit with stinky tofu. That made me curious. the guy was able to drink or eat intestines, insect,warm blood but he failed on Durian and on this one.
I took the chance to stopover in Taiwan on my way. Just after flight and a shower I headed to the most famous and biggest night market The Shillin Nightmarket. There is such a variety of all kinds of foods, I had a little problem actually to find it. But finally. Got it!!



Actually the smell was not so bad or rotten i was told. This one was a fried one. There is another one cooked with pig blood which should have had worse odor. Honestly I expected worse and it was a nice surprise that finally tofu had a taste.
