Mapo tofu is one of the traditional famous dishes in Sichuan, which belongs to Sichuan cuisine and was founded in the first year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty. Next to Wanfu Bridge in Chengdu, there is a storefront, formerly known as "Chen Hotel". As soon as the owner died, the small restaurant was run by the proprietress, whose face was slightly numb and she was called "Chen Mapo". At that time, Wanfu Bridge straddled the river, and coolies often stopped here to make tips. Chen has a unique cooking skill for tofu, and the cooked tofu is full of color, smell and taste, which is deeply loved by people. Her own baked tofu was called "Chen Mapo Tofu", and her small restaurant was later named "Chen Mapo Tofu Shop". Nowadays, Mapo tofu has crossed the ocean, from a simple home-cooked dish to an elegant international famous dish.
