📷 Land of Tofu - Shenkeng Old Street [original photos]

Tofu Lover's Paradise

It's about time I wrote a post about the city I live in, Shenkeng. Located on the outskirts of Taipei City, Shenkeng is a small town famous for its tofu. There's an old street here that features the typical shops found in Taiwan's tourism-driven old streets with tofu available everywhere including tofu-flavored ice cream and desserts.

This place is vegetarian friendly, as is most places in Taiwan, which is why I love it here!


A sign for skewered barbecue tofu, this place's tofu is my favorite out of the numerous restaurants here.

Walking down Shenkeng Old Street, one can still see old buildings, although mostly renovated.

So next time if you happen to be in Taipei City, drop by Shenkeng and enjoy a meal filled with tofu!



Hope you enjoyed this post! I strive hard to provide quality content :)

Thanks, I like that shot too, waited a while for the shot. Didn't have the patience to wait longer for a better shot :)

真怀念吃臭豆腐的感觉。

臭豆腐好吃啊!
新加坡吃不到嗎?

极少找到。有时临时街市会有但也是挺失败的。
听说只有这没机会去过的一家:
