Origin of Mapo Tofu:
Mapo Tofu was founded in the first year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty. There is a store called "Chen Xingsheng Restaurant" by the Wanfu Bridge in Chengdu. The owner Chen Chunfu (Chen Senfu) died early, and the small restaurant was run by the proprietress. The lady boss had a slight numb face and was called "Chen Mapo".
