What are the authentic specialties and snacks in Chengdu?
Chengdu’s authentic specialties and snacks include: jelly, egg cake, three cannons, dragon hand, Korean steamed buns, sugar-oiled fruit, pot helmet, fat rice rolls, etc.
1. Liang Noodles
The more famous one is "Zhanglaowu Liang Noodles", a famous old jelly shop in Chengdu. The jelly is wrapped in various delicious condiments, and you suck it hard with a "chi~ slip~" sound, and your mouth is filled with sour, sweet, salty and spicy food, which is simply irresistible.
2. Egg Baked Cake
The famous Chengdu snack Egg Baked Cake originated from the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. It is made with eggs, flour and brown sugar as the main ingredients. It has a crisp and refreshing taste. Be loved by people. ?
Three or three cannons
It is similar to the well-known "獍粑", but it is completely different from the traditional glutinous rice cake. The making of the Three Cannons is very interesting. First, you need to smash the three kneaded glutinous rice balls on the flat table with three pairs of copper plates. You will hear the sound of "Duang~Duang~Duang~", and then put the three glutinous rice balls on the table. Roll the bamboo dustpan filled with soybean flour into two circles and coat it with soybean noodles. Finally, pour brown sugar and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
4. Dragon Chaoshou
If you really want to call it chaos, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, dough wrapped with meat fillings is chaos. But if we talk about the taste, it is indeed much better than the ordinary Chaos. The reason is that the dough of Long Chao Shou is made of eggs and noodles, and paired with Sichuan-style soup, it will naturally be distinguished from the ordinary Chaos in terms of taste. .
5. Korean steamed buns
“There are Goubuli in the north and Korean steamed buns in the south”, which is enough to show the status of Korean steamed buns, a special snack in Chengdu. Although many stores have been famous as "Korean steamed buns" in recent years, but authentic Korean steamed buns are not available, this Chengdu-specific snack is still active in the streets.
