Taipei Yongchun MRT Station - Highly rated locally, the charcoal-flavored tofu pudding is exactly as the store name suggests. On Uber Eats, it's called "Old Style Charcoal Tofu Pudding," made with genuine ingredients that are super refreshing to eat in the summer!
📍 Mixed Tofu Pudding (Mung Bean, Barley, Red Bean) NT$60
🌕🌕🌕🌕🌘
A very large bowl, the tofu pudding has a rich and dense charcoal flavor, and the syrup is not too sweet. The barley is slightly sweet, very fragrant, and has a nice texture. In the red bean toppings, there are also large red beans apart from the regular ones. The mung beans are a bit softer, making them less prominent.
Overall, the syrup is quite ample, very cold, and you'll feel extremely full and bloated after finishing a whole bowl.
I heard some customers ask for no syrup, and you can customize with the owner to have just plain tofu pudding with toppings.

▶️ Overall Evaluation
🔹 I really like this tofu pudding; the subtle charcoal aroma is very traditional, and it has a creamy, soft texture, though the bean flavor is less pronounced.
🔹 The syrup is not too sweet, but unfortunately, its ratio is too high, making the whole bowl watery. The price is reasonable, and the portion of the mixed tofu pudding is generous.
🔹 In the summer evenings, this place is constantly crowded, mainly with locals. If you happen to be nearby, it's definitely worth coming to enjoy a bowl of tofu pudding!
