Just when you think you're sated, this Sichuan Shangri-la bestows you with another boon. At Mapo Tofu it's not just about tofu, but their sumptuous feast. Their forte also includes the expert marriage of spices, wafting into a simple though neat room adorned with tables and slapdash servers. Their genius locale and superior spread hoists it into a league of its own. Start this Sichuan safari with sliced conch steeping in roasted chili vinaigrette; string beans with bamboo shoots and pork are an incredible item; and braised fish, tofu, and cellophane noodles carry a fiercely flavorful chili broth. Camphor tea-smoked duck; dan dan noodles with pork; and wok-tossed prawns with spiced salt and Sichuan peppercorns are stunning, flavor-ridden plates.
