I’ve been on this crave for Jollibean’s beancurd since those days when beancurd & pancakes speciality shops started sprouting all over the island. Now, there are also Mr Bean and Pin Le – to name a few. In my personal opinion, Jollibean has gotten the right formula for their beancurd – texture and taste wise. Mr Bean’s is a tad too tardy and Pin Le is like, CMI.
In my childhood days, my parents used to buy both beancurd (tao hwey) and soybean milk (tao hwey shui) from our nearby wet market as part of our breakfast spread. I supposed these were considered to be nutritious food for growing up kids and also a very chi-na kind of food. In fact, soy products (e.g. tofu and soy sauce) are very much eaten by Asians (especially Chinese and Japanese). But I digress. I used to mix tao hwey with tao hwey shui (instead of the syrup) and ate them together. I must say that the combination is sooo delicious!
In today’s Singapore, the wet market hawker stalls are fast being taken over by foodcourts. And beancurd is seldom sold in foodcourts. Instead, beancurd and soybean milk are now sold separately by small franchise shops normally located at the basement levels of shopping centres.
Yang’s mom does great beancurd too. Hers is super soft and with lots of TLC. However, between Jollibean’s and my mother in-law’s beancurd, I still prefer Jollibean. Just a matter of preference, that’s all. Nothing personal ok. Please don’t let her know hor. Not nice you know. 
An easy way for me to keep Ling happy is to feed her a lot of bean curd.:)
Ling, so how much do you think I can extort from you for not spilling the beans with ma? Two tubs of Mr Bean toufu? :-)
Wa… i tell your mother-in-law ah… tsk tsk tsk… LOL
