I’m from Changsha and I LOOOVE stinky tofu! The best is when you can smell the stall from down the street. So delicious
Yeah. The stuff in Guiyang has been the strongest I’ve smelled so far. In a of places it barely even registers as stinky.
Yeah when it’s made elsewhere they tend to tone it down a lot. And often it’s not as crispy ):
Are you telling me I’ve reached peak stinky already (barring that carion stuff I ate in Dali)? That would be sad… 😞
