Many famous snacks in Chengdu are named after their founders' surnames, such as Zhong jiaozi, Han steamed buns, Lai Tangyuan and Zhang Liangfen. "Central jiaozi" is different from jiaozi in the north. The stuffing is pure meat, mixed with sweet and spicy red oil and dipped in water, which has a unique flavor. Korean steamed stuffed bun tastes ordinary, but the meat is tender. Although "Lai Tangyuan" is famous, many old Chengdu prefer the fragrance of "Guo Tangyuan" to greasy.
"Braised pork pot helmet" is similar in form to the "meat buns" in Shaanxi, but the meat in the "meat buns" is minced meat, while the meat in the "braised pork pot helmet" is sliced meat with gravy, which is very fragrant. Before, I only knew that the "braised pork pot helmet" sold by Dandan Noodles concourse in Rome was the most authentic. In the past two years, a large number of large and small Guokui shops have sprung up all over Chengdu. The "Lelai Guokui" opposite the Third Hospital of Babao Street tastes very good. In addition to braised pork, there are many varieties, such as ear pieces, beef, three silk heads and so on, and the price is around 2.5 yuan.
You can't miss the "Three Guns". You can see that the master skillfully mashed the sticky rice dough in his hand along the chopping board and landed it on a plate filled with peanut powder, making three sounds along the way. I used to eat noisy "three cannons" in the Cultural Palace, but their noise came from the metal plate placed on the chopping board. Although it is not very authentic, it tastes good, soft and sticky, and can be dipped in a red pond.
If you walk in the streets of Chengdu, you will often see someone carrying a bamboo basket with a pole and banging on the iron plate while walking. The sound made by this piece of iron is the cry of "Tintin Sugar". People who sell sugar always say that chewing sugar melts in the mouth, which produces saliva and moistens the lungs, but I insist on biting my teeth every time I eat it, which is probably too hasty. Tang also has many specialty stores and records, selling sesame peanut candy, sweet-scented osmanthus candy, ginger candy and homemade desserts.
"Nine-footed salted duck" is a specialty of Pengshan area. It's delicious, crisp, salty and sweet. I ate it at my classmate's house for the first time, but I didn't have the courage to eat it, so I tasted it. Buy one and a half when talking, or enjoy it alone, or drink with friends.
"Bangbangji" is also a popular snack in the past two years, with many font sizes, and Liao Ji is the most famous. Brand bags are well packed, and all chain stores are decorated the same way, with bright windows and clean sanitation. It is said that the production process of bangbangji is very complicated, one of which is to beat it with a wooden stick, which seems to be easier to taste. I don't think the taste is special either, but I like Hu Ji's boneless chicken feet and county liver very much. The water they mixed was not mixed at home anyway.
When it comes to Chengdu snacks, the most important thing is to "string incense". "Chuanchuanxiang" and "Mala Tang" are agreed words, which accurately summarize the characteristics of this snack. For many people, eating skewers is more about eating an atmosphere: everyone is surrounded by a mandarin duck pot, braving thick sweat, blowing cows in the open air, picking up a handful of scalded beef, looking around, pulling the meat from the stick head into the oil dish, cooling it a little, then putting it in the peanut and sea pepper dish, rolling it and stuffing it into your mouth. Cool! Have another sip of Snow Beer or Lan Jian Beer, and turn your mouth exaggeratedly. It's so comfortable There is a string of Yulin in Chengdu, and Yulin Chuanchuanxiang is a household name in Chengdu.
Pork intestines powder has become the main snack after noodles in Chengdu, which is distributed in the streets of the city. The main famous ones are as follows.
(1) All the signboards of Chengdu pork intestines rice rolls are under the name of Shuangliu Baijia, which is said to be the earliest and most famous birthplace of pork intestines rice rolls in Chengdu. At that time, Lao Gaoman turned small fans into such delicious food. Now its Gaoji pork intestines powder has become a large restaurant, still serving 2. 5 yuan/bowl of pork intestines powder, while providing more pork intestines series dishes, the only disadvantage is that it is far from Chengdu;
(2) Qingshiqiao pork intestines rice rolls. The first place in Chengdu with pork intestines powder must be Qingshiqiao, where pork intestines powder is an old brand. Pork sausage powder is the most popular snack in Chengdu, where sweet potato vermicelli is cooked in a large pot of soup (basically cooked with more than ten kilograms of bonzi bone), various raw materials are added, and finally cooked white pork sausage is sprinkled.
(3) The fourth section of Hongxing Road, next to Suining Hotel, is said to be one of the three authorized by Lao Gaoman himself (I don't know if it changed because of demolition, if so, there is another one 50 meters along the side street opposite Suining Hotel. I thought the latter was more authentic before, but because the former is on the street, the business and reputation are much better;
(4) At the entrance of Gong Jian Club on Ma 'an North Road, it is also an old-fashioned pork intestines powder;
(5) It should not be written completely. There are too many delicious foods in the streets.
The strange noodles near Chengdu No.7 Middle School are also delicious (there are two companies linked together, one is called Xu Lao Eight Strange Noodles and the other is called Strange Noodles, both of which are delicious). If anyone wants to go, ask where Chengdu No.7 Middle School is. Most people know that No.7 Middle School is the best middle school in Chengdu.
