In early September this year, I attended a good friend's wedding party. They hired a Japanese catering company (@Noah's Cafe) to provide their wedding banquet food catering service. Their food were so good. One of the appetizer they served was Cheese Tofu. I was in love of this appetizer and I started to look for recipe. Since it tastes both sweet and savory, I chose to make it as a dessert. Cheese Tofu alone tastes so good. The appetizer that we had was served with almond, crushed peanuts, maple syrup, honey and baguettes on side. Instead of Maple syrup, I chose to use Brown sugar + Honey, sprinkle some Kinako (Roasted Soybean powder), and add almond slices. This combination gave a hint of Japan flavor. But I also tried the Maple syrup + honey and it was good too. It has a lighter flavor than my Brown sugar version.
