The outer skin of stinky tofu is crispy, while the inside is juicy with an excellent flavor. The pickled cabbage is a bit sour but helps cut through the richness, and the specially made chili sauce is a must-try. It offers great value for money.
The store's space is small and crowded, creating a strong sense of congestion, like eating fast food, with a quick table turnover rate, indicating its popularity.
"21 Stinky Tofu" on Yizhong Street is considered one of the more famous stinky tofu shops in this area. Although there are quite a few stalls selling stinky tofu nearby, this one is probably the most well-known. It used to be incredibly crowded, but now it feels like the hype has died down a bit—perhaps it's going out of fashion?
The stinky tofu itself is quite good; the outer layer is fried to a crisp, while the inside retains some moisture, so it’s not dry. It’s juicy and has a nice texture, making it above-average fried stinky tofu. The pickled vegetables are on the sour side, which balances the dish and makes it less greasy, but if you're not a fan of sour flavors, it might not be to your taste. The portion size is standard, enough to satisfy a craving.
The dining environment is quite lacking, with a space that's shockingly small. Eating there feels a bit like having fast food – you’ll want to finish quickly and get out soon after sitting down.
Overall, the stinky tofu tastes fine, the frying technique is good, the pickled vegetables are sour but unique, and the environment is a downside. But if you're just looking for a simple stinky tofu meal, it’s still worth considering. However, whether you’ll have to wait in line depends on luck.
Every meal time, it's always full of customers, absolutely packed! This shows how good the food must be! (The turnover rate is very quick)
The stinky tofu is very crispy, and it's very juicy when you bite into it. ☺️
The kimchi is refreshing and delicious; those who like spicy food can add the boss's special chili sauce (highly recommended!)
A portion of stinky tofu costs 55 yuan and comes with 5 pieces. It's quite affordable, and every time I go to Yizhong, I have to visit this favorite spot!
