Tofu -- it's what's for dinner. Or so it seems when the spicy bowl of soon doo bu whacks you on the side of the head, and you have no choice but to give in to your desires. Fortunately, San Diegans have a plethora of options to choose from, and Tofu House north of Balboa is one such establishment.
With a name as enlightening as BOILED MYSTERY TOFU, I couldn't help but give in to my curiosity and order the pot of soon doo bu which promised to give me some ???. Because that's what it says on the menu.
The mystery tofu does not disappoint! At first glance I had no freaking clue what I was getting myself into. I'm almost positive that they just throw in the leftovers from last night, and I got to feel like a big man for chomping through the mystery dish. Not that it's any scarier than the secret sauce that gets squirted on to the Big Mac sandwich at McDonald's everywhere.
Honestly the food is kind of mediocre here. The soup stock used in the soon doo bu is rather bland, and the rice is not very tasty (pictured below). Considering the high level of competition on Convoy St., they had better step it up a notch if they want to stay in business. Right now the only thing that Tofu House has going for it is its location between a bar and Yogurt World; food-wise Convoy Tofu House a few blocks away does better for around the same price.
I was pretty happy that I got to play with a little bit of danger for $9 plus tax. It's probably just as unhealthy as the other soon doo bu offerings at Tofu House, but the added excitement clearly makes it a better deal than everything else there, even the soon doo bu with intestines.
Gasoline for car trip: $1.50
Boiled mystery tofu: $9.00
Injecting some culinary danger into my life: priceless
