So Soft... So Sweet!
Restaurant : Kyotofu
Location : 705 9th Avenue (between 48th and 49th street), NY
Website : www.kyotofu-nyc.com
Tofu originated with traditional Chinese 'doufu', created by compressed soy, and cut into blocks. Variations range from firm(extremely dense) all the way to silken (extremely soft).
Funny enough, even though tofu originated in China... the Chinese refused to release their secrets of productions... It was the Japanese and Koreans who began to share it with the world.
Tofu can be used in so many ways...
And one of my personal favorites is as a dessert!!
Also known as "doufu hua" in Chinese...
A sweetened silk tofu often served with a sweet syrup, or fruits or creams.
Kyotofu is a adorable little Japanese tofu restaurant that opened up on the west side known for their delicious sweet tofu.
A couple weeks ago, I went with a few friends to test run their brunch!
So while keeping sweet tofu in the back of my mind... we dived into some delicious 'pre-sweet tofu' nibbles...
This is their Mac n' Cheese...
Quite tasty... creamy with a crunchy top.
I would definitely recommend giving this a try!

This is their french toast...
Comes with a shot of syrup and sweet coffee and some home made sausages.
Pretty good as well...
Definitely a nibbling portion... but hey, we are ALL saving room for dessert...

And the sweet tofu!!
Of course we ordered the 'Signature Sweet Tofu'
And I must say... it didn't disappoint!!
It was sweet, light and smooth...
Came with a cute little crunchy seaweed chip...
(Which was pretty much forgotten because of the yummy tofu)

Money : Cheap-Moderate
The prices aren't bad... but keep in mind this is more of a nibbling and dessert place... So dont come here expecting a huge filling meal that will leave you with a serious food coma...
But brunch does come with a free brunch cocktail!
Must Try : The sweet tofu of course!! And the Mac n' Cheese...
Type : Trendy and small... intimate. A good place for a small group of friends or a couple to grab a bite and sit and chat... The service is good and friendly... A very comfortable setting.
Reservations : I did, but I dont think its entirely necessary... Its a hit or miss...
Pro's
Very sweet and attentive staff... Good food... Intimate setting.
Con's
I wish they had MORE variations of the sweet tofu...
But who knows what happens in the future!
