End of an Era: Visiting Boh Geh Uncle Canteen One Last Time

Sitting outdoor under the trees As bus 117 rolled through Seletar, Singapore's modern aerospace hub, I took a moment to just look out the window and enjoy the unusually serene greenery. My destination was 398 Piccadilly,  home to the legendary Boh Geh Uncle Canteen or Canteen 398 . I wouldn't have rushed down this week if not for my dad. He had forwarded a picture of the canteen from a friend's group chat with a urgent reminder: 'Go visit and record down the place before it's gone!'

Food Review | 臭豆腐 Stinking Toufu from Pasar Malam

Well... Because we miss the taste, decided to try it since there is pasar malam aka night market at Woodlands, opposite Admiralty MRT.
I simply love the box because it is so Taiwanese.  Simply must have a shot of it.  But the main cast is inside this cute lil box.
Upon ordering, already no stinko smell.  A bit disappointed. Especially him.  When we got home, we tuck in.  I taste it as sour, vinegary, not crispy, no crunchy sound from my mouth.  Verdict: It is just the normal taste of fried toufu.  Very disappointing.

Ya... We can't expect much from pasar malam standard.  Still, the best stinking toufu comes from Hong Kong and Taiwan.  At least for the moment because we been there before.  Looking forward to the next trip.  TBA.
