Taiwan Food: Deep Fried Egg Tofu 炸蛋豆腐

興利小吃
無骨雞 。 炸蛋豆腐
台中縣新社鄉中興村中興嶺71-1號

Well, I was here once before and loved this place. So, Mom decided to take me on the day I left. Xin She is right in the heart of mushroom country.
Of course, we had the fried egg tofu and it was great. The tofu is one of the best I have had. It was well worth the drive. It's crispy on the outside and oooohhhh so tender on the inside. While they give you a dipping sauce, I would suggest trying the tofu without the sauce first. Trust me, the flavor is delicate and ... well, it's hard to describe. 


We also had fried local grown mushrooms, a stirfried veggie I have to get the name of from Zoe and mushroom soup. Did I mention this is mushroom country? 

So we had a great meal then headed to a relatives house nearby.


On the way there we stopped at a local temple and Mom made some offerings.
They live in a farming area and neighbors grow fruit and raise chickens.
We had a ton of fruit and some pineapple cake 鳳梨酥.

 

My
relatives wanted us to try a local favorite. BBQ giant mushrooms 杏鮑菇。 
The mushrooms are done like Taiwanese BBQ corn, kind of.. And they are almost as big as corn. I was not sure of how to eat these things. So my aunt, who is only 5 years older than me, demonstrated for us.
It was a great time. I was nervous that I might miss my flight when we hit traffic on the way back. But that was just me being paranoid. We were fine. And I saw many spots on the ride home I want to visit next time.
I will skip back in time and review another restaraunt we visited earlier this coming week.
Search for this place on Google in chinese and you will find other posts.
Cheers,
