Tasting The Stinkiest Tofu In Taiwan-Stinky Tofu Challenge-Taipei

It's just something you have to try the first time you visit Taiwan-stinky tofu. Every local will ask you if you've tried it yet. That along with bubble tea and Din Tai Fung, dumpling house. Stinky Tofu is originally from Ahui Province, China. Brought over with other special and unique dishes to provinces and regions from around China throughout it's history and with even more of a fervent pace when Generalissimo Chiang Kai Shek and his KMT army retreated to Taiwan after losing the civil war in 1949. Stinky Tofu remains at the top of the heap of street food specialities and I believe locals love to see foreigners wince upon their first bite of the smelly bean curd. I joined Travelblogger Bruno Black and his English Club friends at one of Taiwan's most famous restaurants that specializes in stinky tofu-Dai's House Of Unique Stink in Xinyi District-Taipei. We sampled most of their famous dishes, including I believe the same ones TV Host of Bizarre Foods Andrew Zimmern chose when he visited in 2007. There's something strange about eating strong almost offputting food, it's kind of addictive. Like the fermented shrimp paste of Vietnam that as stinky as it is on it's own is absolutely delicious with cold rice noodles or tofu, (my opinion). Same thing we some of the tofu we tried. I think my favorite was the deep-fried. I loved the texture, crunchy inside, soft outside, stinky but wonderfully paired with sweet kimchi and chili sauce. The number 15 tofu paste was just a bit too much for consuming as a dish itself. Fun though to try with friends and see who can eat the most or last the longest without making a face.
