Mok Kau Moon came to Hong Kong from Dongguang nearly 60 years ago, dreaming of a better life. He settled in the island village of Mui Wo where he eventually began to farm his own soybeans to make tofu to sell for a modest income. Today, Mok still makes fresh tofu each morning to sell as the sweet Cantonese dessert known as doufu fa. Each morning he picks soybeans from his small backyard farm. Mok insists on cooking over a wood fire and making his own ginger syrup, not just for the authentic flavors produced, but also for economical reasons.
