Spice level warning — Stinky Tofu is not what I expected

I underestimated Stinky Tofu. The comforting and warming description didn't prepare me for the reality. oyster sauce brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.

bubble tea was invented in Taiwan and exported globally as one of the most influential food trends of recent decades. The a Taipei night market setting means locals eat this with ease while visitors like me reach for water. Kavalan whisky cut through it better than water would have. Don't order the mild version out of caution — the full version is the point. I'd go back. Three stars only because I wasn't warned.
