1.Chengdu Hotpot
Chengdu people eat hotpot just like drinking water! The red oil in the pot is bubbling, and the tripe and yellow throat can be eaten after just seven or eight dips, which is crispy and tender. The sesame oil and garlic sauce is the soul, and it is so spicy that your mouth is numb but you can’t stop eating. The hotpot restaurant is still crowded at two or three in the middle of the night, and it is very lively to play finger-guessing games and drink. After eating, the smell of hotpot on your clothes will not go away for three days!
2.Chengdu Chuanchuanxiang
The poor relative of hotpot, but equally delicious! Beef, liver, and spareribs are all skewered on bamboo sticks, thrown into the spicy hotpot, and taken out shiny and slippery. After eating, I counted the skewers to pay the bill. I thought I didn’t eat much, but the skewers piled up like a mountain! Cheap and satisfying, students love it the most.

The noodles are very chewy, the meat sauce is fragrant, and the peanuts and bean sprouts are mixed together, which is spicy and fragrant. The small bowl can be eaten in two bites, and you have to lick the peanut residue at the bottom of the bowl after eating to satisfy your appetite! A bowl in the morning will make you energetic all day long, and you will continue to eat it even if it is so spicy that you sweat.

The dumpling skin is so thin that you can see the filling, and with the sweet and spicy sauce, you can’t stop eating one after another.
