How it's used

Sweetened versions are the standard in Hong Kong, typically served with ginger syrup or yellow sugar. While savory versions exist in other regions, they are rarely found in local dessert shops. The texture should be extremely smooth and delicate, often described as melting in the mouth.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with 豆腐, which is the firm or soft block tofu used in savory cooking. Using 豆腐 to refer to the dessert will sound like you are eating plain, unseasoned cooking tofu.
