Kung Wo Beancurd Factory

Kung Wo Beancurd Factory at 118 Pei Ho Street in Sham Shui Po, Kowloon, is a tofu shop known for silky tofu pudding served warm or cold. It sits in Sham Shui Po, one of the older working-class districts of Kowloon, known for its markets, fabric shops and local eateries, and it is a regular stop on food walks through the neighbourhood. The cuisine is Hong Kong tofu and soy-based snacks. The signature dish is tofu pudding, a soft, smooth set tofu served in a bowl and lightly sweetened with syrup or brown sugar, either warm in cooler weather or chilled in summer. The shop also sells soy milk, fresh and warm or cold, and fried tofu, which is crisp outside and soft inside. The setting is local and no-frills, with simple seating, a working production area and a steady flow of regulars. There is no dress code and the atmosphere is that of a neighbourhood shop rather than a restaurant. Noise levels are moderate. Soy milk and tea are the drinks, and there is no wine programme. The shop does not take reservations and operates on a walk-in basis. Hours run from morning to evening and should be verified before going. Prices are low, with a bowl of tofu pudding typically costing around HK$15 to HK$30, which makes it an inexpensive snack or dessert. Sham Shui Po MTR station is within walking distance, and the shop combines easily with visits to the nearby Apliu Street flea market and the fabric markets. Visitors who want to try a traditional Hong Kong tofu dessert in a local setting, away from the central tourist areas, often choose Kung Wo, and it is regarded as a representative example of the tofu tradition in Sham Shui Po.
