Eat delicious tofu in Boston

Share

 

There is an amazing restaurant in Boston called 久久台北 = jiu3 jiu3 tai2 bei3 = long [duration of time] + long [duration of time] + Taipei. Actually, 台 officially means "your" and 北 means "North", but 台北 = Taipei = the capital of Taiwan.

This restaurant is unbelievably good, at least 100 times better than any restaurant in Boston's Chinatown.

The best thing I had there was "three cups tofu". Not only was it delicious, I could read the characters because they are simple: 三杯豆腐 = san1 bei3 do4 fu0 = three + cups + tofu. Here is a picture:

If you live in the Boston area, I strongly recommend you get hungry and go to 久久台北. You will not be disappointed.
