I used to always eat there before i moved. They hands down serve the best guo tie (Pot Stickers) I’ve ever had in my entire life. I’ll always make absolutely sure to go eat there every time i went back to visit my relatives.

The video got some of the history wrong. He said Liu Bang is the inventor of tofu while subtitles say Liu An then shows a portrait of Liu Bang. Liu Bang is the founder of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu of Han. Liu An, Prince of Huainan, is his grandson and credited as the inventor of tofu.

My dad used to get me tofu pudding from the store when i was little. It was sweet and soft, and I miss it. I always thought it was just regular silken tofu until I ate silken tofu by itself from the store and realized the two were different

Local tofu factory across SE asia often get raided by authority of using formaldehyde, excessive/illegal gypsum powder, or bad (re:dirty) working condition. The use of gypsum powder has been controversial for a long time due to long term health effects, usually practiced by overseas chinese establisment. Local java tahu maker use CH3COOH as coagulant, hence got more firm and soury taste. Others used agar powder. And for Japan they used nigari (salt solution) as coagulant

The problem is that some gypsum isn't pure calcium sulphate but also certain mercury compounds which is quite harmful.

The "orange sugar" is just red sugar, a common Chinese sugar you can find (they sell a variety of sugar with different level of refining, you can try and see which one you like best). The secret ingredient is in the syrup that's cooked with ginger.

Cool, you can add some cardamon for flavour and it will taste like Indian sweet

It is sad but predictable, I would say he is using the old school way to run the business. At 3:00 said it himself, he could not tell the precise ratio of soybeans and water to make tofu, it only depends on the worker's experience to decide, and the family has been making tofu since his grandpa. It seems not very sensible.

Fresh tofu pudding does not contain any sugar. In Hong Kong they put sugar or syrup to sweeten it. Although nowadays you can buy in the supermarket in the cool section sweetened tofu pudding with many different flavors like almond, ginger and fruit flavors.
