Been trying to find the best sweet bean curd in town. Tried 4 so far. This is my favorite. Where?Stanley Street, Central. You have to walk all the way to the end of Stanley street from Central, past the pedestrian escalator, past the 'street vendors'. it's a small storefront on the left of the street.

Where?
Stanley Street, Central. You have to walk all the way to the end of Stanley street from Central, past the pedestrian escalator, past the 'street vendors'. it's a small storefront on the left of the street. It is very easy to miss! Which is what happened to me when I first walked past it, because it seemed to be serving proper dinners instead of being a specialist in soy bean products...which is what the restaurant name conveys. Sweet bean curd (warm) $7
$7. I had to get over this. You cannot buy proper food with $7 in HK nowdays. I am fortunate to have found youu . Had plans to eat a nice, hot sweet bean curd but Mrs. owner said they'd run out. They'd put the stock in the fridge already. But they did it only a short while ago so she asked if I'd mind. Hell no. At $7 a bowl anything goes. She was extremely nice, and so was Mr. owner, who prepared the take-away for me - poured in a bit of ginger syrup, and gave me a small packet of cane sugar. So thoughtful - they didn't add the cane sugar into the bowl directly because who knows I might not like cane sugar. Then again I might not like ginger syrup either but I suppose that's something they insist on, to give the bean curd the right flavour.
Why do I think it is good?
Because it was silky. Had a mild beany flavour (already the beaniest among those I've tried). Pleasantly sweet - ginger syrup not overpowering. And most importantly - no grainy residue in mouth. Hm, the word 'grainy' might not be the most accurate description...what I mean is, the feeling in the mouth you get after eating cooked (kidney or borlotti) beans. Or hummus.
Conclusion:
So. If you're looking for a healthy dessert after a meal, consider sweet bean curd at Daily Fresh Soybean Milk. Look no further! There's a Chinese sweet soup speciality shop a block away (along the escalator) but I've tried that, and will advise against it.
