Chen's Mapo Tofu (Shenton Way)

"This is the more affordable fast-food version of Shisen Hanten, managed by the same chef. The famous namesake dish is reincarnated as mapo don, literally mapo tofu on a bowl of Japanese rice. It’s more numbing than spicy, with silky tofu and ground pork. Dan dan mien is another favourite, with the choice between soup and dressed noodles. Szechwan popcorn chicken with a crispy crust and juicy centre packs serious oomph and is also worth trying." - Michelin Inspector

Found this spot after a bit of searching. I ordered the signature set meal, and the mapo tofu was genuinely the star of the show – really tasty and well-made. The noodles and sides were decent as well. While the food was good, I felt it was a bit overpriced for the portion size and simplicity of the dishes. It was an okay meal overall, but the price makes me hesitate to come back.

we walk in on a Sunday afternoon. ordered the sets. signature sets, comes with 1/2 & 1/2 of both mapo tofu rice and noodles., comes with vegetables, soup, and calamansi juice. spice level: 2 I personally prefer this. the other set, it's straight on 1 portion of mapo tofu on rice, vegetables, and calamansi juice. it's tolerable as I'm used to spicy food. For the first timer, please don't try it. spice level: 3 the gyoza with spice chilli was exceptionally as well. portions are good for sharing. service was excellent and fast.

Very delicious MapoTofu. The best hot &sour soup I ever tried too! Definitely one of my favourite restaurant at Paragon..

I ordered mapo tofu with ramen. The portion is more than enough for me. Tofu is very fresh and soft. The spicy level 3 is really very spicy and gives a good kick. Unfortunately the noodles were overcooked. I find the noodles too soft and they stick together so much I had a hard time mixing in tofu sauce. Maybe it’s a better option to go with rice. There is very little minced pork in the dish as well, perhaps this is just the way it should be.

Okay.. this can be addicting. Mapo tofu was very tasty and perfect with japanese rice to balance the spice and flavours (and tone down the salt). The Dandan mian was likewise a comforting bowl of umami richness despite the broth being on the watery side. The big surprise was the century egg and tofu. So simple yet so delightful with a play of sweet, salty and mala. Im glad I ordered the set.

Great Mapo rice, can select different spicy level, the lowest (original) spicy level is still quite spicy. The dinner price is fair, SGD 16 for Mapo Rice with drink.

Mild spicy level is just right for me. For those who want to try out may go for the level 2 first. Not a fan of Mapo tofu? There are other dishes on their menu as well. Remember to order onsen egg to go with your mapo don or mien. Try to reach before 11:45am as it tends to get crowded during lunch. Total damage: Two mapo don, one mapo mien and three onsen eggs at SGD43

Love how their combo menu lets you sample different dishes—super thoughtful! I went with level 2 spiciness, which hits the spot for chilli fans. Level 3 might be overkill with the peppercorn numbing. The mapo tofu with Japanese rice was a standout—so good. The Dan Dan mien was a bit dry and not as exciting in comparison. Plenty of other tempting dishes to try next time. The place gets packed with office folks on weekdays, so try to come early or later.

My husband was so excited to take me to this place when we traveled to Singapore. The location is in a mini mall like location in a business district, upstairs with some other small vendors. The staff was friendly. I'm a vegetarian and hubby heard they had a veggie version of this chef's famous mapo tofu so we ordered it. While it tasted ok, I was not blown away like I was supposed to be. The consistency of the tofu was softer then i prefer, the sauce good but nothing I would need to eat again. It's prob a great place for a meat eater, as is most Asian food.

It may be a distraction that MicheLEN-starred ShizEN HantEN's Chef ChEN would venture out with a fast food joint, but it's a boon for the mEN , womEN, and childrEN in the CBD. The reasonably-priced food is delish and fiery, and the menu quite long for fast food. The Bib Gourmand is well deserved!
