Stinky Tofu
If you have ever visited Hong Kong and walked down the streets of Mong Kok, you may have seen an individual standing behind a stationary trolley. You may have also had a strong scent stinging your nostrils. That is the smell of Stinky Tofu, A signature delicacy that defines the Hong Kong culture. The stinky tofu is a result of fermented tofu which is usually made with fish or meat. The rancid smell can be noticed from far away, often being described as smelling like 'rotten garbage' and 'manure', however, served with sweet or chilli sauce, it taste surprisingly nice.
Stinky tofu isn't only sold in Hong Kong, it is also sold in Taiwan. They serve it differently by adding a sweet and sour pickled vegetable.
