Greeting at the metro station we before come out to meet our lovely Tuk-tuk drivers. They will take us from then on to try along many of the local delicacies local people take pride in.

Chengdu Pancakes

The pancake has a history of almost 200 years but it’s getting more and more difficult to find nowadays. We take you to one of the best families who still carry on making pancakes – there are options of sweet, spicy and savory, you may also try out different combination with sauces to make your own style!

Chengdu Noodles

Known as “Dan Dan” noodles, it consists of spicy sauce containing preserved vegetable, chili oils, minced pork, minced peanut and scallions. “Dan Dan” means carrying bamboo baskets on the shoulders. The noodles got its name from vendors carrying noodles in baskets and sell along the alleys and streets in the ancient time.

Chengdu Dumplings

Commonly as "Wonton", the dumplings bobbing in this light broth are soft, tender and stuffed with delicious ingredients. Chengdu dumpling is a little similar to Wonton, also stuffed with pork and vegetables, and the difference is that the dough is thinner and served in a soup. Served in a spicy, sweet chilli sauce, vinegar and garlic Chengdu dumpling has a very different and rich flavour compared to Wontons.

Heart-Breaking Bean Noodles

The noodles is made by grinding different grains, such as rice and soybean, is one of the most popular snacks for Chengdu residents. The mixture of bean jelly with chilli oil, preserved pickle, coriander herb and other spices makes the bean jelly taste hot and spicy but delicious. You may challenge your self by choosing different levels of spiciness but it’s totally up to you. Since it could truly come to a point that it’s too spicy that one can break down in tears – the name explains!

Sticky Rice Dumplings, Clay-pot Chicken, Mopo Toufu, Kongpao Chicken and more…

Having a visit to a bar for a few drinks will be a perfect way for your evening explore – the food journey ends in Chengdu’s most famous and colorful bar area along the river, you may explore the area and have a few drinks with you travelling buddies before heading back to the hotel.
