Fan of Beancurd aka Tau Huay aka Douha aka Tau Fu Fah? We’ve got you covered here! Here’s 5 Beancurd eateries you must try! Including a famous one from Malaysia (Beans.Factory) that recently just opened in Singapore in January 2023!
First thing, if you’ve somehow never known about this sweet dessert, it’s known for its delicate, custard-like texture, the beancurd dessert is a canvas for a wide array of flavours and toppings! It’s often served warm, drizzled with a choice of syrups, from floral Osmanthus to rich brown sugar (My favourite). Toppings range from chewy pearls of tapioca to the crunch of roasted nuts and even Taro yam balls. Ultimately, Beancurd is enjoyed by many especially in both Singapore and Malaysia, either as a dessert or sweet refreshing side dish to combat the afternoon hot sun (especially if you get the shave ice version).
1. Beans Factory
Beans.factory is known to craft the perfect bowl of Beancurd dessert and something that is unique about them that is different from many other soybean curd dessert places is that other than their shaved ice desserts, the making process of their desserts does not involve the use of any cow milk.
They have 2 outlets in Singapore! One is located near Tanjong Pagar and another near Bidadari. There’s more than 10 toppings to choose from and different bases apart from the quintessential Beancurd pudding, you get Shaved Soya Ice (our favourite), grass jelly and their aiyu series to customise!
Noteworthy is that their beancurd is soy based only compared to those out there which uses milk powder, you’ll be getting the legitimate experience of eating a true Beancurd pudding. This also means their Beancurd is vegetarian friendly!
Can’t eat cold versions? Worry not, Beans Factory does offer warm Beancurd pudding as well, there’s also an unsweetened warm version that can be offered to those whom can’t consume sweetness!
The best part? Their signature soya shaved ice, if you’re a fan if this you know there’s no options, none at all for this before Beans Factory came along, the only way to get your fix is to travel to Johor! Now it’s within easy reach without having to travel across the border!
Their “Yam Yam on Soya Ice” (Bottom left of the collage photo) is one of the most worth-it dessert! Because Yam paste, or “Or Nee” is very hard to make and very expensive served in Chinese restaurants! The combination with their fresh Soya Shaved Ice is simply amazing!
Must Try : Other than their Beancurd Dessert, Seriously get their Signature soya shaved ice base, coupled with taro yam balls, you won’t regret it on a hot sunny day or even after a day of work to cool off!

5. Soylicious
Nestled in bukit timah market & food center (this place has lots of famous eateries!), the Beancurds produced here are more towards Beans.Factory style (without shaved ice of course, only Beans Factory offers that!).
Best part is the Beancurs are affordable and comes with generous toppings! You also might want to just have the simple Beancurd itself. On another note, there are not many stalls selling Beancurd coupled with Riceballs so it is one to get too!
Must Try : Beancurd with Riceballs, Traditional Beancurd or add with taro yam balls!
