Went to learn Sichuan cooking at Chengdu. Very fun experience

their supermarket have sell many instant sauce for mapo tofu

wanted to buy bring back as souvenir cause its exotic taste but lastly decide not to

mala and zhajiang taste in china can be said is not suit for msian chinese tastebud

No need to buy back from China nowadays because you can find many authentic and commonly used ingredients in KV. Example you can get authentic Pixian doubanjiang because there is demand for it amongst the china restaurants and their communities living here.
Love Sichuan mala food.
