What authentic food and shops are recommended for traveling to Chengdu?

Chengdu is the capital of food, and food is everywhere. In Chengdu, there is a word called "fly restaurant", which refers to those restaurants with low prices and narrow sidewalks and describes them as small and cheap. The food in the "fly restaurant" is not necessarily the best, but it must have mysterious attraction and special taste, which makes people want to stop. A bowl of cowpea noodles, snow-white hoof flower soup and a plate of hot roasted brain flowers can make people cry and roll up their sleeves to eat. Then what else?

1. Pan Xiangshi (Chunxi Road Branch)

In the city, many tourists don't even know the second word "year", which is the same as "sun". Established on 1925. At the beginning, the founder took a big dustpan and sold it at Jinjiang Theater in Huaxing Street. In today's words, Pan Xiangcheng was Hermes in the barbecue stalls of that era and was deeply loved by the upper class at that time. Nearly a hundred years later, Pan Xiangcheng is still in Huaxing Street. The whole building is very domineering, and the windows are full of people from morning till night. The receptionist at the counter has been indifferent for decades. It is said that every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, customers queuing to buy ducks occupy half the street. When Nicholas Tse, a popular idol, came to Pan Xiang to queue up to buy braised dishes, he was full of praise, which indirectly led to his fame and attracted many young people.

2. Roasted waist slices opened by jiaozi store.

The roast tenderloin opened by this jiaozi store is really a favorite of tenderloin lovers. Even if you don't like tenderloin slices, you will love them once. The boss's way is quite barbaric. It is also difficult to make an appointment on WeChat when opening the door. The most important thing is not to order too many waist pieces, because one piece is really big (about the size of a palm). Their waist pieces are really fresh. After the barbecue, give their boss his own secret kimchi. Hot and sour pickles and tenderloin collide. Not too cool!

3. Tian Yu Hotel

Tian Yu Hotel, founded in 1985, is also a famous fly restaurant in Chengdu. Near Chunxi Road, tourists occasionally come to punch in. The environment in the store is very simple, and some old photos have also witnessed the 30-year history of Tian Yu Hotel. Lotus root bone soup, the signature of the town store, was sold out when we arrived at the store. We said we could wait. The waiter waited for half an hour in surprise! Sure enough, it did not disappoint us. This soup is very good, and lotus root is very pink. How delicious! All kinds of dishes are not expensive and feel very grounded. After nightfall, the store was very lively, and most of the people who ate were locals. Ordering two or three kinds of small wine steamed vegetables is particularly pleasant, and you can eat very full at around 50 per capita.
