I got exposed to Tofu after I moved to Singapore. It is a good option for vegetarian because it has protein. There are different type of Tofu I always buy the harder one.

What a healthy curry ..I am loving that whole bowl ..
So divine. Indeed tofu is popular over here and lots of types. Perhaps why we hardly use paneer. I love the wholesomeness of the meal as well.
Spinach with tofu great combo
