Tofu in NZ = Foul rubber-like substance...of questionable origins...
Tofu in SE Asia = Delicious. Silken tofu is where it's at! Especially Mapo tofu....
It's a bit like Euro vegetarian food vs Indian vegetarian food.
You feel sorry for the poor sods eating Euro vegetarian food. Whereas the Indian stuff ain't half bad.
Note - Im not a vegetarian...but when traveling through some of the more interesting parts of SE Asia, my risk avoidance strategy states:
Meat/ seafood = My dear friend the toilet bowl we shall never be parted
Tofu / Vege = probably ok
