YouTofu , The Tofu Restaurant

YouTofu is a specialty restaurant located in Brgy Del Remedio (Wawa), San Pablo City. As you can probably guess from the name, Tofu is a predominant ingredient in most of the dishes. You're probably thinking TOFU? Ew! But let me tell you. I'm not a huge fan of tofu myself, but I was pleasantly surprised by how good these dishes were.

The first time I visited this restaurant was a few months ago. Try not to be put off by the location and by how the place looks. At first glance it looks like a hole in the wall on the side of a warehouse. Well, in lots of respects, that's what it really is. There's no aircon and the place doesn't look classy at all. But the place is clean and bright. But as soon as you taste the food, you'll most likely forget about what the place looks like and just marvel at how awesome the food is.

And the best thing is, the food is inexpensive. Food that tastes like this would cost double or triple in fancy restaurants in Manila.

It's amazing to find a place like this in San Pablo, which really doesn't have too many specialty restaurants like this. After eating there a couple of months ago, I still can't get the place out of my mind. So today I decided to have some dishes delivered here at home for lunch.

What I got was their Silken Tofu, Fish Fillet and Tofu, Fried Chicken Jellyfish and Century Egg, and Fried Rice and Egg.

The Silken Tofu (to the right of the Fried Chicken) is a particular favorite. It's whole tofu with this special sauce and century egg. It's AMAZING.

Vegetarians will find that not every dish here is meat free, as they do serve chicken, pork and beef, but there are lots of options for them that are meat free. I recommend one of the patola dishes. We had that the last time and it was terrific.

If you find yourself in San Pablo City, this place comes highly recommended from me.

YouTofu can be found in Barangay Del Remedio, beside the old Coca-Cola plant, in front of the old BLTB Terminal. There's a huge YouTofu sign along the Wawa road (going to Los Baños). You can't miss it!
