Taste Good Soya Food

This is my go to place for hot soy bean pudding. When you go in, there is this elderly woman scooping the pudding from a big pot. The price of $ 1.25 is reasonable for a pint of it. It comes with a little container of sugar water.
Please note, this establishment looks dirty and old. However, my family and I never got food poisoning from here.
My friend wanted their flat noodles with small dry shrimps. The lady told her they were sold out. I’m not surprised, their prices are cheap. Also, all their items seem fresh.

When I imagine a hole in the wall, this is it.
I don’t speak Chinese. I’ve never bought fresh tofu before. But I gotta say, $ 1.20 for four large squares of tofu (which cooked up great, by the way) seemed like a great deal. It was $ 1.25 for a baggie of fried tofu cubes, which were also delicious.
The woman was friendly enough, though I’m not sure if she understood my question (or didn’t really care).

This is a older establishment that has been on the block for as long as I can remember. I think that they are still in business because they cater to the buddhist temple next door.
Anyway, if you are a regular, they know what you want and «try» to speak english to you. I can speak chinese, you know lol.
I get their soy drinks and soy tofu pudding.
I do think that they should work on their soy drinks.
The sweet ones aren’t sweet.
I really think that they should manage the freshness of their food too.
The tofu has got smaller over the years and the flat noodles must be consume within the day that you buy them. They start to spoil and smell funny the next day and end up in the garbage.

best dou-​gan ! crisp sometimes cracking corners and still moist centre. their prices for bean sprout and fresh tofu are pretty good, about the same as the hawkers further up 8^th ave (give or take a quarter). it’s a bit dirty though and the woman who usually works there always tries to charge extra (she thinks because dougan isn’t listed in english i don’t know. sorry, i can read it*) However, the guy who’s there sometimes has never tried the white person price thing…
Anyway, they also sell rice noodle and other stuff typical of this type of place — think a Tung Wu co. you can walk into, (btw, Tung Wu is awesome too, but in terms of dry tofu they don’t come close… it’s packaged and not that much of a step up from standard commercial fare– this place air dries theirs in the back, hence the crisp flake factor.
*in case you’re wondering: 4 = $ 1, 5 =1.25
