I don't always make it to the fresh tofu spot (Wo Chong tofu in Chinatown) but when I do, it's such a treat.

The firmness and quality of the tofu they sell in the trays at the counter is different from the ones they sell at the grocery store. So many other varieties as well.

I usually combine that with a trip to the Chinese bakery, and (good) tofu is my favorite food.

When I can't make it to Chinatown, they also send trays and bags of fresh tofu to the Vietnamese and Khmer markets near me in the TL. I have to fight old ladies to get them sometimes.

I think the food scene in SF Chinatown should get more accolades than it does. There’s been so much growth in good new stuff, younger people taking over family businesses (like at 606); doing trendy new things (Four Kings). There’s the high end Chinese food I love (Empress Boom, Mister Jiu) and the super low key local Chinese bakeries (Yummy Bakery, Garden Bakery, etc).

There are the good grocery stores (Sun Kau Shing) and amazing snack shops where you can get different instant noodles in single packs (Pang Kee). There’s a great tea store (Red Blossom); a good matcha place (Maiko). There’s locally made tofu (Wo Chong. You get this at grocery stores but they have more types here); 150+ yr old artisanal Chinese sausage and cured meats businesses (Mow Lee Shing Kee). Good quality dried goods that I need for my soups and congees (Chung Chou).

Personally I prefer the *type* and density of Chinese foods in Chinatown vs the west side Chinese spots that people like. I also just much prefer the urban density here.

Yaowarat Road at night
The #YaowaratRoad in #Chinatown #Bangkok - an urban melting pot of movement, light and structure. The true character of this vibrant metropolis is revealed in black and white: chaotic, dense, lively.
The urban heart of Thailand is reflected between cookshops, neon signs and dense buildings. A tribute to the city that never rests.
