Mine always turns an awful shade lke it really disagrees being put in hot oil.Rabbittrickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15049844078063122122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15897188.post-11440369511345530102009-09-25T17:40:53.427-05:002009-09-25T17:40:53.427-05:00YUM. I love mapo tofu. So simple and so delicious. Everyone makes it differently, but it always manages to speak to the same comfort need in one&#39;s belly.

However, it&#39;s pretty good for Boston, and the shaved ice is still awesome. If I came back, I&#39;d be tempted just to order the shaved ice. :) I LOVE May&#39;s Cafe too. It might actually be my favorite Taiwanese place in Boston. :) Good home cooking. :)Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11228099508714697864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15897188.post-89922555990713517762009-09-23T14:40:11.006-05:002009-09-23T14:40:11.006-05:00my, you are a speedy blogger! those pictures are phenomenal!<br /><br />you know, i really wish i like jojo, but for me, it&#39;s just ok. their food is on the greasy side and i don&#39;t like how they try to sell you a bunch of appetizers beforehand. we&#39;ve done take out a couple of times and it&#39;s horrible. i like may&#39;s cafe instead! <br /><br />-cindyMehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03034044905967259243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15897188.post-86118699885320992442009-09-23T07:27:01.991-05:002009-09-23T07:27:01.991-05:00oh my goodness. hahah i have yet to make eggplant that tasty : ) i love how the sauce is so glossy and mahogany-y and the eggplant jewel-toned with the purple and green contrast. i love your blog by the way. i was poring your entries yesterday. you&#39;re an amazing cook! i&#39;ve never been to jojo taipei. gonna have to check it out.keyihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00181392414718761112noreply@blogger.com
