Tried "urban-hiking" from Bedok to Bugis, along the MRT track path. Quite fun. Stopped at Bugis Food Street to try out the Old Tu Kee Smelly Tofu 老涂记臭豆腐. Ordered the mixed (pickled vegetables plus Cumin powder). Cost (if I remember correctly) SGD6 for 5 pieces of tofu. Hmm... Anyway, the smell. The smell is not the strong stinky type but has a lighter aroma with (I think probably) some herbal ingredients when fermenting. I may be wrong, but it does smell smelly-good. Tofu is fried to a good crisp, and internal quite soft. Quite nice! The pickled vegetables are nice, and works well together with the chilli sauce on top of tofu. But the cumin powder , while very nice, is poured onto a tad too much, and tends to snatch the focus away from the tofu. End up scraping quite some cumin powder off left uneaten. After a good protein-filled breakfast, I took the train back home.
