For some really strange and morbid reason, I've had this tau huay / soya beancurd craving for the longest time ever. It's been on and off for a couple of weeks and I was too busy (ok fine, too lazy) to walk over for my favourite beancurd at...........
I can still remember the first time a friend of mine brought me here for tau huay, I was blown away!!!!!!! It wasn't too sweet, neither did it have a very paste-like taste to it. It's exactly how tau huay has always been described to be, smooth and silky. I almost said melts in your mouth but not in your hands but then I remembered thats for M 'n' Ms! Hahaha. Well this week alone, I satisfied my tau huay craving finally and not just once but TWICEEEEEEE! :D
Hahah my two tau huay-crazed friends who very lovingly dragged me for tau huay after hearing me whine about it for the 100th time! Oh and one special thing about Rochor beancurd is the entire concept of the place! You have a choice between an airconditioned room on the second floor OR the back alley where they put out tables for us to sit!
I personally love sitting at the back alley, there's just something about sitting in the back alley (even though there isn't any aircon), it's really cosy and really perfect when you're with a group of friends and all you guys wanna do is sit down and catch up over tau huay!
Check out our grub for the night! I always have the cold tauhuay (you can have it either cold or warm) with soya bean milk added on top for that extra oomph and milkiness! Smooth! And then we had more! You tiao or fried dough fritters are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. You dip it in coffee, in milo and in our case, in tauhay! It becomes mushy and soft, soaking up the tauhay and you quickly bite/chew on it and it tastes sweet and heavenly! Fwah!!! Are you hungry already??
And Rochor Beancurd sells not only youtiao but this other pastry called.. butterfly bun, not sure if you guys know what's that but it's really good and certainly not a butterfly! The bun is shaped like a butterfly, that's how it gets its name. And you think only the tauhay and youtiao are good here? Well, they sell really yummy egg tarts! It's comparable to the KFC egg tarts which I'm absolutely addicted to but that's another story for another daaaaaay!
Now I'm off to pinch on the extra box of tau huay in my fridge! No, I'm not sharing. <3
