Geocache Description:

Indeed, this cache is named so just because the CO is hungry again.

Shanshui Tofufa (山水豆腐花) is a Chinese snack made with very soft tofu. It is also referred to as tofu pudding and soybean pudding...


Tofu is thought to have originated in ancient China during the Western Han Dynasty. Chinese people have developed and enriched the recipes for tofu dishes on the basis of their own tastes, such as mapo tofu, stinky tofu, pickled tofu and uncongealed tofu pudding, etc. Similar to Wonton, CO’s another cache, tofufa has many variants including Northern Chinese cuisine eaten with soy sauce, Sichuan style without sugar, Hubei cuisine only served with sugar, Taiwanese style with lots of sweet toppings like cooked peanuts, Cantonese cuisine with sweet ginger, Malay style also named tow huay, Philippine cuisine served warm with a dark brown syrup called arnibal, Indonesian style called Kembang tahu, Thai cuisine called tao huai and Vietnamese style called tàu hũ nước đường. In one of the waypoints, you find North Point Town with local restaurants, including an old Chinese dessert shop famous for Tofufa though I am not sure whether it is made with Shanshui, aka. mountain water. Nearby, you may only find an authorized geocaching shop.


Near the GZ, you can find Pak Fuk Road Safety Town. Referring to our sister cache GC4K529_road-safety by samshlau, there are four Road Safety Towns in Hong Kong, located in Shatin, North Point, Sau Mau Ping and Tuen Mun respectively. Each of them provides a simulated road environment to enhance children's awareness of road safety. They are owned and managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department while lectures on road safety are delivered by police officers of the Road Safety Team.

The towns attracted more than 48,000 visitors of all ages in 2012. Every effort is made to make the visits more interesting and Road Safety messages more sustainable.

Attention: the coordinate is based on Google Map and seems there is discrepacy between it and OSM.
Be stealthy and bring your own pen. Happy caching!
