Mapo tofu originated in Chengdu😋

#Register for TripBest July Hotel Tester #Chengdu Travel #Chengdu Food Mapo Tofu first appeared in Chengdu, Sichuan. It is said that during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, a restaurant owner nicknamed Chen Mapo with a pockmark on her face created a tofu dish that was widely favored by diners. This tofu dish that has survived to this day and is even more famous overseas is "Mapo Tofu". Chen Mapo Tofu Restaurant has become a century-old Chinese time-honored brand. How can you miss this Chengdu signature dish when traveling to Chengdu? If you want to eat Mapo Tofu, you must go to the time-honored Chen Mapo Tofu Restaurant. This restaurant has many branches in Chengdu. This time we went to its flagship store. When we arrived at the store, there were already people waiting outside the door. We waited for about 30 minutes before we could be seated. Mapo tofu is a must-try, of course. In addition, there are many other Sichuan specialties on the menu. This Mapo tofu is spicy and fragrant🌶, and the tofu is tender and has a bean fragrance. It is indeed a signature dish👍🏻. We also ordered garlic pork, liver and waist stir-fry, and bean soup pig's feet, which are all classic Sichuan dishes, especially the pig's feet soup. The meat is smooth and full of gelatin. Speaking of the environment in the store, we were arranged to the lobby on the second floor. This floor is mainly booths. There are many big red lanterns hanging in the store🏮. The decoration is full of traditional western Sichuan flavor. The walls between the basement and the second floor are full of awards and title plaques that the restaurant has won over the years🏅. For diners, this is a guarantee of confidence. Address: No. 10-12, No. 10 Qinghua Road, Qingyang District, Chengdu
