Discovering Hong Kong’s “Tofu Flower”! Simple Sweetness and a Soy Adventure
Warm Tofu Pudding
Hong Kong
- Food Travel Log
- Hong Kong’s tofu dessert, Tofu Pudding (Dou Fu Hua), is a must-try!
The tofu is warm, soft, and similar to yudofu (Japanese tofu hot pot), topped with sugar for a simple sweetness. The strong soybean flavor may not suit everyone, but for me, that’s what makes it an exciting overseas adventure.
Usually, people choose their food, but maybe food also has the right to choose its eaters.

- Tofu pudding is a popular dessert in China and Hong Kong, with a long history dating back to the Han Dynasty. It is generally enjoyed chilled, but the warm version is also notable, often served with sugar syrup or ginger juice. The softness of the tofu and the flavor of soybeans are its distinct characteristics, making it perfect for warming up in winter. As a street food in Hong Kong, it is easily accessible and deeply rooted in the local culture. Typically, it's served in simple bowls to be enjoyed quickly with a spoon at street stalls in Hong Kong. Bloggers who love culinary adventures look forward to not only the adventure of tofu pudding but also to the challenge of trying durian next. However, one might wonder if they're willing to take on the challenge of its unique aroma. If they find a forgotten durian under the bed, they'd probably quip, "Who wants to take on this adventure?!"
