Three Ways to Enjoy Stinky Tofu

Have you ever tried stinky tofu? Many people are not interested in tasting this dish because of it’s offensive smell. People who tend to enjoy the dish are open minded and tend to enjoy fermented dishes. For Asians, stinky tofu is the equivalent to a blue cheese. Stinky tofu aka choudoufu, 臭豆腐, is a dish that goes all the way back to the Qing dynasty.

At Wonderful Restaurant we like it in a soup. If you crave spicy you have got to try this dish! We serve ours in a spicy, tongue-numbing broth garnishes with peppers and herbs.  Other popular variations are fried stinky tofu and grilled versions.

Stinky tofu is composed of a mixture of brine of salt, amaranth, and cabbage and then fermented for up to two weeks. Of course there is various variations of fermented but this a popular one among the Taiwanese community.

We hope you’ll come in and give ours a try! Let us know how you like it and how our version compares to others in the San Gabriel Valley!

About Wonderful Restaurant

Wonderful Restaurant is a landmark restaurant in San Gabriel. It has been in business over 14 years and was founded in 1988 by noted Taiwanese immigrant Charlie Feng. He is married to Juanjuan Zou, a noted Taiwanese singer in the 1970's. On the back of the restaurant memorable photographs of Chinese celebrities cover the wall. It is great to browse through decades of celebrities and autographs while your dining.

What are some of our best dishes you might ask? As a manager and sushi lover, I highly recommend the sashimi boat. It is great for groups and a great value for $75. You can easily feed five people or more and it is a great centerpiece of assorted raw fish. On the Taiwanese menu, I recommend trying the "three cup" chicken and squid dish which goes perfectly with some white rice and stinky tofu!

At Wonderful Restaurant, we are all about family style dining, which is why we are proud to offer the community two types of cuisine in one establishment. We even have two private rooms, perfect for get togethers. Each room has a television and the larger of the two rooms is sound proofed for karaoke! We are proud to offer something for everyone with our extensive and diverse menu.
