I am trying my very best to share this location cause you MUST pay a visit to this little shop at Jalan Kampung Pantai in Melaka if you are a fan of soy. I am a super big fan of soy in particularly soy bean curd (aka taufufa). It's SO GOOD you'd wonder why you've been wasting those quota on those over rated by tourists mediocre soya bean.
Comparisons aside, let's focus on this one. This one is called tofu street, probably named after old time "tofu street"- a street name before the restructuring of street names in Melaka city. If you ever talk to the older generation and asked them where tofu street is, they'll most likely be able to direct you to the location with landmarks.
This business is literally called Tofu Street and is operating in this book store. So the next time when anyone say anything about going to tofu street, they are most likely refering to the business. Because tofu street don't actually exist on Google map, even though that's not the case to the locals (especially off the older generation). In fact, most of them wouldn't be able to tell you the name of the street, other than just calling it "tofu street".
There are several theory from a compilation of accessible resources tho not entirely reliable, to why it is called the tofu street. The biggest contrast in both tales is the presence of tofu seller as to whether or not the street was named tofu street after hosting operation tofu selling. There's very limited information within English medium but I'm sure there is a very interesting story to why the street is named "tofu street" but let's leave that for now.
This one is impossible to be tagged on social media for now (at least not within my capabilities), but look for opposite River One Residence. We are talking about silky smooth tofu and thick soya bean if not close to being creamy. I know I sound exaggerated but soya bean lover would know what I mean.
Lastly, don't forget to tapau some for later . I recommend chilling it in fridge before consuming.... It's refreshing to a whole new level. Hahahaha...
