Stinky tofu often makes the headlines when stores have to close due to complaints about their smell.
The fermented dish is a common sight at stalls in Taiwan's night markets, and is sometimes considered the "national snack of Taiwan".
While we can't travel to Taiwan at this point, some will be happy to know that a new stall selling stinky tofu has opened in Newton Food Centre.
Here's a photo of the store front of Man Kou Xiang Stinky Tofu posted by The REAL SG Vegetarians 生活要素 on Facebook:

Another Facebook user Alwyn April also echoed the same sentiment, saying that the tofu is "less smelly" than the ones she tried in Taiwan.
She said that the stall could have reduced the "smelliness" of their tofu after receiving complaints.
