Tofu, also known as bean curd, is very popular among Chinese and well-known around the world. Under the administration of Kunming, capital city of southwest China’s Yunnan province, Chenggong District has long enjoyed a reputation for making tofu in old-fashioned ways.

On December 8, a tofu-themed festival kicked off in Chengong. Today, let’s take a tour to the festival to “taste” the Tofu dishes. But be careful: you may be drooling over the “delicacies”!

Tofu can be stewed, steamed, fried or cooked in a number of ways. On the festival, you can try numerous mouth-watering tofu dishes: soft silken tofu, tofu pudding, soy milk, Asian dry tofu, you name it!
