The authentic "Bunkeng" tofu was first made by a Chinese immigrant by the name of Ong Kino, who came from [[Anxi County]] (Traditional: 安溪縣; Simplified: 安溪县), [[Quanzhou]] City (Traditional: 泉州市; Simplified: 泉州市), [[Fujian|Hokkian]] Province (Traditional: 福建省; Simplified: 福建省), the [[China|People's Republic of China]] (Traditional: 中華人民共和國; Simplified: 中华人民共和国), in the early 20th century.

Ong Kino started making tofu for the consumption of his family members, but afterwards he started to sell the tofu to his neighbours. Increasingly, more people came to like the tofu and a business was established due to this. In 1917, Ong Kino's only son, Ong Bunkeng (Traditional: 王文卿; Simplified: 王文卿), came to Sumedang and inherited his parent’s business; Ong Kino and his wife decided to return to their hometown in China.

When Prince Soeriatmadja of Sumedang was on a journey to [[Districts of West Java|Situraja]] subdistrict, he stopped by "Tahu Bunkeng" to taste the tofu. He made a remark in [[Sundanese language|Sundanese]]: “Geuning ngeunah ieu kadaharan teh, moal burung payu geura” (roughly translated as “This tastes so delicious, many people will surely buy it”).
