Last weekend I went to VP Tofu in Monterey Park for the first time since the COVID restrictions started.
They are only allowing in 2 people at a time, and you can no longer grab soy milk out of the cold case. You tell the employee which flavors you want and they get it for you.
They are also not frying tofu to order unless you specifically ask or have a particularly large order. I think it’s to prevent a backup of people waiting for tofu. I ordered a 10 piece plain fried tofu and it was given to me pre-packaged, shrinkwrapped on a foam tray. Still good but just something to note if you prefer the just freshly fried stuff.
Like the pandan flavor better than the regular soy milk.
Got pandan tofu pudding, some bánh cam and black sesame bánh bao chỉ (or “mochi” as it’s called on the label). Their bánh cam ball is way too big compared to the amount of the mung bean filling inside, but it’s fried sweet dough, so I ate it anyway. I prefer less hollow space inside bánh cam.
