Zhonghe District, New Taipei City｜蒸功夫 現蒸臭豆腐

The stinky tofu is fragrant and delicious ~ super delicious with rice noodles🫡

The name of this place already speaks for itself. 蒸 “Jheng” rhymes with 真”Jhen” and when their shop name is read out loud it reads out as “Jheng Gong Fu” which literally means Steamed Kung Fu. But when you read the name, it rhymes with “Zhen Gong Fu” which means real skills, or real Kung Fu- Fresh steamed Tofu. The Chinese word for “steam” rhymes with the Chinese word for “real” or “true”, this play on words to represent their steamed stinky Tofu is the tip of the iceberg in the shops amazing dishes. The founder and head chef takes the craftsman approach in creating a vegan based broth, and of course when you have good homemade food it gets sold out quick. Everything on the menu is made to compliment the main highlight of this shop. Flavors, texture, and aroma are second to none. If you already understand stinky Tofu’s niche like the European equivalent of cheese, this shop’s main attraction represents a local flavor. 身為在加州出生的僑生（爸媽是越南的華僑），我將大的過程只有聽過臭豆腐，第一次來到台灣完全不能接受，直到我女朋友介紹一家我可以習慣的味道，我開始常吃。我一去到深坑才發現滷的臭豆腐-更好吃。所以我找到蒸功夫之後，我夠膽說這一家是我吃過最 top的臭豆腐。 Shoutout to the owner!
