Stinky tofu, also known as chòu dòufu, gets its strong odor from the fermentation process it goes through. The brine used in the fermentation process can include vegetables, meat, shrimp, milk, and tea leaves, and is often exposed to air for months to allow natural microbial fermentation to take place. The fermentation process can take anywhere from a few days to several months, depending on how potent the tofu is desired. Major bacteria strains that contribute to the fermentation process include Bacillus sphaericus, Enterococcus gallinarum, Acinetobacter spp., and Corynebacterium spp. . A 2012 chemical analysis found 39 volatile organic compounds that contribute to the smell and taste of stinky tofu, with indole, the main compound, having an intense fecal odor.

your food court is so big, i'm jealous. Our mall used to be filled with stores back when i moved to the area in 1993, now only half of the stores are still occupied. food court keeps changing as well. Bird's broken glasses are no longer broken, and the music sample was very good.

Hi meimei. The stinky tofu gets it funk from the fermentation they use. The longer it fermented in brine which contain many items such as cabbage, tea leaves, may include meat and shrimp. The longer more funky. Much love ❤. I love all your vlogs and channels

Eataly in L.A. (Century City) has two restaurants, the market, the deli counter, dessert counter, pizza shop/counter and, coffee counter. When you visit Southern CA again, stop by and see how it compares. There is another Eataly in Vegas, as well as NyC and, Chicago.

I like the cannoli and the hazelnut chocolate cookies at Eataly. I also get some of the more unique items at their grocery and their to-go salads. The Pizza and Pasta restaurant upstairs is expensive, but I had the Uovo Croccante during a special meal deal week earlier this year, and it was amazing and worth the extra charge. The pastas I had at the Vegas location were always reliable too.

Bun Appétit is one of the greatest bougie donut places in the area (Dough Wei Me in UC is also really good). I'm glad you tried the Everything Donut, which is one of my favorites (as a sugarblood, I eat way more of the savories than I do the sweet stuff, though I take bites of my P2's). Their Kimchi Spam puff and Cheddar Jalapeño scone is fantastic as well.

Valley fair is my local mall, and imo eataly is good for the actual grocery section like all of those meats and cheeses you showed. The sandwiches & pizza look tempting but I’m not interested in an expensive cold sandwich or pizza slice that’s been sitting out for who knows how long. The gelato there is fine, not quite as good as the Venchi one you got but much faster line, and the dessert case next to the gelato is ok but not as good as other patisseries, especially for the price. The Terra restaurant at eataly was genuinely awful the one time I went. Horrible slow inattentive service and bland, extremely overpriced pasta. So I’m probably not gonna give their other restaurants a try. My partner and I only go there for the Italian groceries.
