Like meat, tofu us an acquired taste and needs to be prepared properly. There's no fat in tofu to make it taste like anything
Yeah i find that frying tofu in a fatty oil like olive oil helps a lot with making tofu taste better. Once you get a good "meaty" tofu its way easier to move to other styles of tofu, at least anecdotally speaking.
Sometimes I like to splurge and buy those pre-marinated tofus. I really like the texture of hard tofu. I don't miss the texture of meat at all.
If I wanted the extra work I would buy store bought. But I actually love cooking and want a tofu press. But it's convinient that it exists.
