Recommended reason: Fengdu fermented tofu is famous for its unique fermentation process and spicy taste, and is a great match for rice.
Recommended way to eat: Serve directly with rice, or use it in stir-frying or mixing with noodles.
3、Fengdu slag pepper
Recommended reason: Hot and sour pepper, also known as slag pepper, tastes sour and spicy, and is particularly appetizing. It can be fried with sausage, bacon, eggs, or made into hot and sour soup, all of which are very delicious.
Recommended way to eat: stir-fry bacon, mix with cold dishes.
4、Fengdu Rice Cake
Recommended reason: When you see some aunties carrying a big bamboo basket and repeatedly playing “hot glutinous rice cake” in the loudspeaker on Fengdu Street, don’t miss it! ! Fengdu glutinous rice cake is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. It is often eaten with brown sugar or soybean powder and is the favorite dessert of locals.
Recommended store: Fengdu Old Street snack stall.
5、Spicy wonton (small noodles)
Recommended reason: Hu La Ke wonton is a classic Fengdu wonton with a thin skin and a relatively soft texture. The meat filling is also delicious, and paired with the fragrant Hu La Ke, a bowl of it is very satisfying. Hu La Ke noodles are much inferior in comparison, but I think the overall taste is very good among Fengdu snacks. Outsiders may find it hard to get used to it, but once you fall in love with it, you will love it for life.
Recommended store: Find any store in Fengdu County, any one of them is delicious. PS: Don’t eat near the train station or bus station.
