Lucky Smooth Tofu
1015 days agoOh no, old man food alert! I bet you are wondering what has gotten into me to be reviewing two old man food products in a roll. Well, I have absolutely no idea. As I said before, I went to Sheng Siong and when I saw the Sichuan Soya Bean Curd, I could not help myself. And for this silken Tofu, well the same thing happened. I just looks so tempting for me to buy. And this is smooth tofu, unlike the soya bean curd which I had never eaten before, it is something which I always enjoyed eating. It is smooth, does not contain any strong flavours, easy to consume, cheap and nutritious. What more can you ask for a food?
The price of this Tofu is about 50 cents. Yes, even the humble Tofu is getting more expensive day by day. I remembered the time when Tofu pieces cost about 10 cents each. But those times have long gone and we are now stuck with overpriced Tofu. If you are thinking of making your own Tofu, you should go do it. From what I read, it is pretty easy. But you do need some specialized equipment and some time. Basically it is just soya bean milk and some coagulant like calcium sulfate is added to mix and you will see curds forming – you get tofu.
For the less adventurous, we shall continue our little review on this Lucky Smooth Tofu!
I am guessing that Taufu Lembut is Malay for smooth tofu? The packaging is pretty normal. In fact, most of the Tofu packaging looks the same. Perhaps they should follow the Japanese and start having better designs for their Tofu? I mean, just look at the dazzling array of Tofu they have in the supermarkets nowadays. Something different to catch the eye of the consumer perhaps?
Oh, the brand is typical of us Chinese. We like the word “Lucky”, so we name everything Lucky. lol!
Ahhh…the ingredients are Soyabean, GDL, Calcium, Antifoam and water. From what I know, GDL is Glucono Delta Lactone which is used to make silken tofu. That means that this smooth tofu is never press and it allowed to set in the container itself. That means that it is cheaper and easier to make, so why it is still so expensive?
Made in Malaysia. Although the weight is 300g, we must note that this is mostly water. In fact, it is just Soya Bean Milk that has been harden/firmed. Oh, this smooth tofu has no preservatives. Good for health conscious folks like me.
What the hell? The serving size is 100g while they have yet another table for 100g consumption? Something is very wrong here. Or is it because it is compulsory to have the 100g table in every nutrition table? I have no idea but I still think it is stupid.
There you have it, the end of the little review. Tofu is good. Go eat some.
