After lunch, I decided to visit the Bean Factory for dessert. This time I buy their Peach Resin Tofufa which cost RM7.90 per bowl.
Tofu fa is actually called Douhua, the other name for this kind of dessert are tofu pudding, soybean pudding, or tofu brains. It is a Chinese snack made with very tender tofu.
In Malaysia, it is more commonly known by its names tau hua or tau huay in Hokkien, or by the Cantonese name (tau fu fa), with the Cantonese variation being more common in Malaysia.
In Penang, the common term is tau hua. There are a few ways this dessert will be served either with a clear sweet syrup alone, with palm syrup (Gula Melaka), with ginkgo seeds suspended in the syrup, or in a sugar syrup infused with pandan.
Here are pictures of my Peach Resin Tofufa.
Is there egg in it? I think I’ll read up on tufu fa. This is the first time I’d hear of it.
I hope you enjoyed it.
