Soya Beancurd - the new fad!

Gui ling gao - Turtle jelly and Soya beancurd ($1.80 each)

While there wasn't any surprises about Dessert First Turtle jelly, i took a first sip of their signature Soya beancurd and was immediately reminded of the craze about the dessert that took its source from the Old Airport Road.

Quite unlike our firmer and coarser traditional Soya bean, the new recipe that's gaining its popularity is smoother, milkier with a tinge of milk powder and malt taste. Like pudding, it is eaten chilled. And as the beancurd burst in my mouth resembling to slurping semi-solid Soya milk, i know i'm hooked!

A word to describe it is "Shiok!" 

Understanding what's the fuss about this new food fad, i found an interesting article about the fight of soya beancurd dessert at the Old Airport Rd Food Centre, read here if you are interested - there are 5 stalls in this single food complex! We might go there, right Ric ;)
