In the late hour on the corner of Grand St. D train station, this street vendor opens shop. Working from a Pathmark shopping cart, this guy hustles some steaming hot treats.

Out of the shopping cart you can find tea eggs (Wiki Definition), Douha (Wiki - tofu pudding), and water. The tea eggs are store in this huge paint bucket fill with this warm black tea ingredients which marinates it. I didn’t try the Tofu, but i seen people fought over it. One dollar gets you five steaming hot eggs and is conveniently transferred into double plastic bags to prevent take home spillage. I was told that the price were the same 10 years ago, I guess inflation has no effect on pricing here.

The egg white has a brownish tone and you can taste a hint of black tea and soy sauce flavor to it.

If you’re looking for a quick cheap snack and don’t mind the odd out of the shopping cart look. Give this vendor a try.
