History and origins

Enormously popular throughout China, Yang Guofu Malatang is now known as one of China's leading fast food dishes. Its roots lie in the street food culture of the Chongqing region of Sichuan Province. Malatang originated as a dish where workers skewered ingredients and stewed them in a spicy soup on cold winter days. Born from the wisdom and palates of the common people, this dish quickly spread across the country thanks to its unique, addictive flavor, combining the numbing heat of Sichuan peppercorns and the pungent kick of Chili Pepper. In the early 2000s, founder Yang Guofu modernized this traditional dish and launched a chain that offers clean stores and consistent flavors. The chain quickly expanded across China and is now expanding overseas. It's also a hot topic in Japan, where customers can enjoy the authentic taste.
