✨ AI Quick Take
上贊麵線臭豆腐 (Shang Zan Vermicelli & Stinky Tofu) has operated in Tucheng for more than 20 years, growing from an early food cart into a storefront now carried on by the second generation. Stinky Tofu is fried in two stages—first cooked through, then crisped outside—with a choice between regular and extra crispness. Assorted Vermicelli Soup brings oysters, pork thick soup pieces, and Braised Pork Intestine together in one bowl. Brave diners can touch the shop’s fire-breathing chili, but start with a tiny amount; brother here is not responsible for wiping your tears.
上贊 began with a small cart. After more than 20 years it gained a permanent shop and passed to the second generation. The core combination remains clear: freshly fried Stinky Tofu, a bowl of vermicelli with several toppings, and perhaps extra Braised Pork Intestine if appetite allows. The danger for an old shop is having nostalgia and nothing else; two-stage frying and house chili keep this one’s identity where it matters—in the food.
● Stinky Tofu
Stinky Tofu is fried in two stages. The first cooks the tofu through, and the second adjusts the crispness outside, producing a clearly crunchy shell while preserving the holes and softness within. Choose regular or extra crispness when ordering. Eaten with pickled cabbage, its tart sweetness and crunch catch the richness of the fried tofu.
● Assorted Vermicelli Soup
Assorted Vermicelli Soup gathers oysters, pork thick soup pieces, and Braised Pork Intestine in one bowl. The vermicelli is smooth, and the thickened broth clings to every bite. Oysters bring the sea, the pork adds substance, and the intestine contributes braised aroma and chew. Taste it plain before deciding on vinegar, garlic paste, or chili; that is better than seasoning it beyond recognition the moment it arrives.
● Braised Pork Intestine
Braised Pork Intestine can be eaten apart from the vermicelli to focus on the braising liquid and springy texture. Processing leaves a moderate fatty aroma, and the braised flavor grows as you chew. Share it with Stinky Tofu or vermicelli; if adding chili, one dipped corner is enough to judge.
On a first visit, pair Stinky Tofu with Assorted Vermicelli Soup. Choose the tofu’s crispness, taste the vermicelli plain, and add Braised Pork Intestine separately if still hungry. Add the fire-breathing chili in stages, and use the pickled cabbage between bites to refresh the palate.

📌 Editor’s Wrap-Up
上贊 grew from a small cart into a storefront and then passed to the second generation. Its story of more than 20 years lives in two-stage-fried Stinky Tofu, fully loaded Assorted Vermicelli Soup, and forceful fire-breathing chili, rather than hanging only on the wall. It is a short walk from Haishan, and one dry dish plus one soup makes the fullest order. Add chili slowly; you can return to an old shop many times, so your tongue need not meet its fate in one visit.
