What's the name of this TOFU dessert?

I'm eating "Taho", a sweet silken tofu dessert from the Philippines and other parts of Asia!

Thanks to the Chinese who introduced these to the world. Yes different places adapted and make them differently but ultimately it is Chinese in origin. In Malaysia they are called taufufa (from Cantonese 豆腐花 dau fu faa) and in Kelantan it is also called pati soya (lit. soy essence). Malaysians usually just have it with plain white sugar syrup or plain brown/palm sugar syrup, especially the Malays, Chinese puts a bit of ginger. Occasionally you'd find the tofu itself pandan-flavored too. In Indonesia it's called kembang tahu (lit. "tofu flower" in Javanese) or tahwa/tauwa (from Hokkien 豆花 tāu-hoa) and other than ginger sometimes they're perfumed with lemongrass as well.

In Viet Nam, it's close to your Taho. We call it "tào phớ". This dish is as same as yours and we sometimes see a lady selling a cup of tào phớ outside of the school gates.


Edit: THANK YOU FOR ALL THE LIKE 😍😍😍 THIS IS TOO MUCH 😅😅😅

We call it tau fu fah 😄 usually served with palm sugar syrup. I've also seen pandan syrup being used

[TheGajeHolic]

here in Indonesia, we have similar street food called kembang tahu. It's tofu skin in sweet ginger broth. the one with tapioca pearls look interesting. I'd like to try it someday 😊

[misosoup]

In china some people actually call it doufunao. In areas like Sichuan they eat it spicy and savory. The ones I've had have just brown sugar syrup on it served hot.

I've had it with the translucent tapioca pearls and also the brown tapioca pearls. But its one of the things I miss the most living in the Philippines.... that and FRESH baked Pan De Sal that I didn't have to bake myself. LOL.

It’s “tào phớ” in Vietnam! I’ve also seen places calling it “tàu hũ” as well, just not in Hanoi. The traditional version only has tofu and sugar syrup (often with jasmine/ginger flavour, I think the jasmine version is more common?) Nowadays it’s served with all kinds of toppings, from boba to jelly

[khiehoonjones]

I love this desert! It is called taufufa in Cantonese. The tapioca balls are delicious with pandan flavor. I live in California but born in Malaysia and my ethnicity is Chinese. I love, love, the desert on this shorts, it is a delightful dessert. ❤❤❤👍🏻👍🏻😇

[ivysn]

guys, it’s because of chinese immigrants BOTH in philipines and vietnam any country in south east asia everyone is commenting how this is similar to indo or this is similar to vietnam the topping varys but regardless the silken tofu BASE is from southern chinese immigrants nguoi triều châu or người quảng (cantonese and teochew in cambodia thailand singapore etc and hokkien esp in PH immigrants) im Chinese viet and trying to preserve this apart of Chinese diaspora.

[sidewalkslam]

In singapore, we call it "Tau Huay" which is Hokkien dialect for Dou Hua! Some stores here make the tofu itself in different flavours like Pandan or Rose (Bandung), and sometimes even Chocolate. But the original flavour is still more widely found and loved.

Depending on the region, in China it's either called Dou Hua 豆花 or Dou Fu Nao 豆腐脑。In the south it's served sweet, whereas in the north it's being served savoury.

[DiabPink]

Taho with strawberry or Ube syrup. I miss Baguio so much😢

[lasunsdb]

In Indonesia we called it Tauwa/Tahwa/Kembang Tahu depends from many region. Usually we served it with sweet ginger broth and peanut as topping. Its make me really felt nostalgic

[EmilyEmilyEmily]

I was born and raised in Tokyo and was pretty much raised by an amazing woman from the Philippines and she made and fed me lots of Filipino food (obviously lol) ! I remember eating something like this all of the time but like you said, I remember the tapioca balls being more translucent and also more white. I love your videos and they help me give names to lots of dishes I ate growing up but forgot, if that makes any sense. Thank you !!🙏

[SunRs_St]

It looks like flan with Boba balls on top 🤩 (I hope I didn't offend anyone an ifbi did I'm sorry it wasn't my intention)

[ArnoldDantes-ul]

That's called taho because i am from phillipines 🇵🇭 ❤

[chippedrednailpolish]

I’m Vietnamese and we called it “tàu hũ” which literally mean tofu 💀. After reading the comments it’s really cool to see different region of Vietnam called it differently for the same dessert. The one I grew up eating didn’t have tapioca balls tho, only tofu. Also funny story when I was young, I ate so many of it that I ended up throwing up so ever since then, I haven’t eat it again lol

[shyramohsin]

it exists in malaysia too, and we call it tau fu fa! it's a chinese dessert, but malays grow up eating it as well. i've realised malays and chinese eat/serve it differently though. us malays are used to it being either room temperature or cold, and my chinese friend and many chinese spots i've eaten it at serves it hot. hai di lao's is cold though, and without syrup. for malays, we don't eat it with any toppings, but i've definitely eaten some that add different toppings on top! different varieties of chewy textures!

[Lavender_designer]

Kinda looks like Flan with boba on top looks so good 😋🧋🍮

[Kamunanyabro]

In malaysia its called tau fu fa we usually just eat it normally tofu and brown sugar syrup
