Merlion and killer Tofu

Who said Tofu has to be boring?  The sizzling Tofu platter at Merlion in Southern Village (Chapel Hill) may be the best tofu I've ever had. Dark, spicy and smoky yet it still manages to be incredibly crispy!  Amazing. Tom and Jen's duck and shrimp dishes, while tasty, did not compare to this mighty tofu dish.

Their appetizer sampler was also first rate. Crispy spring rolls, fried coconut shrimp and meaty samosas were a big hit.
