Fresh tofu pudding in Tai Po Market

Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

This is the kind of dessert whose appeal depends on freshness and texture more than decoration. The tofu pudding looks delicate and barely set, with a simple presentation that leaves nowhere for the base ingredient to hide.

A market stop like this also says something about Roger's way of eating through a city: make room for the everyday specialties between the larger restaurant meals. The modest bowl becomes a sharper memory because it belongs exactly where it was found.
