We love hearing about Chowhounds’ favorite foods in the city. This instructive thread is devoted to tofu pudding.
What is tofu pudding, precisely? According to soupçon it’s a Chinese dish made from fresh tofu with a gingery syrup served over it (for sweet) or chile oil (for savory).
kathryn recommends "the combo tofu window and florist" Soy Bean Chen in Flushing, while soupçon suggests the nearby outpost of Xi’an Famous Foods for a savory version. Click on over for a primer and to find out where to get your hands on some.

Discuss: Is douhua / doufuhua 豆腐花 / tofu fa / tofu pudding served & sold in the outer boroughs?
I am totally hooked on Salty Tofu Fa served inside the Tofu store on the corner of Bowery and Grand. The ladies want to insist on serving you the sweet style so insist on salty and it's well worth it! Scallions peanuts 3 types of soy and a dollup of chili.
