Ah Sen Stinky Tofu Oyster Vermicelli Introduction
Located in front of the Tudi Gong Temple in Jiji Township, Asen Stinky Tofu has been a well-established shop for over 40 years. Former County Magistrate Lin Zongnan and Councilor Chen Jinlun never miss a chance to visit whenever they are in Jiji! Asen Stinky Tofu uses soft tofu, made fresh daily without added preservatives and old frying oil! The tofu is soaked in herbal medicine for two hours and then deep-fried until crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. In addition to the unique flavor of typical stinky tofu, it carries a healthy concept. The texture is crispy on the outside and smooth inside, with a flavor profile not found in regular stinky tofu. It is paired with delicious pickled cabbage made from select highland cabbage and a self-made dipping sauce free of preservatives, leaving you craving for more! Another highlight of Asen Stinky Tofu is the famous Oyster Vermicelli. By around 4 PM each day, the pots are nearly empty. The secret to the deliciousness of their Oyster Vermicelli lies in the handmade vermicelli, and the oysters are fresh, not soaked in water, and can be eaten raw. They sell out daily and restock the next day. If it’s not delicious, you don’t have to pay. If a guest can eat ten bowls in one go, you won't pay a single cent! When visiting Jiji, don’t forget to give it a try!
