------"My
family name is Fu ?foreigners added
the term Mama." Mama Fu is a perfect native
of Kunming. Formerly a nurse, she opened
her restaurant after retiring from her job at a
hospital. She served only Chinese food at the
beginning, but was often asked by foreign
students studying in Kunming if she could cook them some Western food. Sensing
the disappointment of these home-sick foreign kids, Mama Fu started to learn
to prepare Western food from some cookery books and her Western cooking was
a hit.
------Apart from serving food to foreign students,
she also care much for them, always lending a helping hand. Her maternal spirit
moved many foreign students, and they began to call her "Mama Fu".
