Tofu fans had a bite of an eight-ton tofu at an event in Huainan city, East China's Anhui province, on Tuesday.

It took more than 50 workers seven hours to complete the super-large tofu, which is 3.64 meters long, 3.62 meters wide and 0.4 meter tall.

Huainan city is home to tofu, which was invented in the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-24AD), though mapo tofu has become a popular Chinese dish at home and abroad.
