Owner Lady Wang sits watching that no one cuts the line to her fried golden cubes (4RMB) with chilli sauce and a sprinkle of cilantro. This is your ticket to try some great chou doufu. The dirty scent may drive you away (just as the whiff would drive you away from most good cheeses), but the deliciously mild flavour is much better than the smell suggests. No English menu.
