Must-eat food in Leshan

When arriving at a new area, the first thing that comes to mind is what good food there is, and the second thing to do is to find places to play. It would be best if both places are together so that you can eat and play at the same time, so that you can have a great time. Today's article introduces the must-eat snacks in Leshan, such as Qiaojiao Beef, Chuanchuan Xiang, Saozi Noodles, Bobo Chicken, etc. These are very famous local snacks. If you want to know more, you can take a closer look.

1. Beef with Crossed Legs

I personally think that the most famous food in Leshan should be the "Cross-legged Beef". This food was invented by an old Chinese doctor more than a hundred years ago. Why is it called "Cross-legged Beef"? Because when the old Chinese doctor was selling "Cross-legged Beef", the business was so good that there were not so many chairs, so everyone had to put their feet on the crossbar under the wooden table to rest. When boiling the soup of the Beef with Crossed Legs, the store will add more than a dozen Chinese medicinal herbs, so the soup of the Beef with Crossed Legs is different from ordinary beef soup. The taste is very special, and it also has the effect of strengthening the body. After drinking a sip of the soup, the whole person will feel relaxed and comfortable.

In addition to beef, you can also blanch various beef offal. Although the beef is served in clear soup, those who like spicy food can dip it in the store’s secret chili powder. The freshness of the beef offal and the chili pepper make it so delicious that I can’t stop drooling as I write.

The restaurant I prefer to go to is Feng Siniang's Qiaojiao Beef. This restaurant is considered to be the best Qiaojiao Beef restaurant in Leshan. The decoration is antique and the taste is quite authentic (it is said that the recipe was passed down from ancestors and has a history of nearly a hundred years). However, the biggest drawback of this restaurant is that if you go a little late at mealtime, you will have to queue because the business is so good.

2. String skewers

Everyone says that Sichuan hotpot is delicious, but this statement actually does not include Leshan. In our Leshan, Chuan Chuan Xiang is much more popular than hot pot. No matter how famous the hot pot is, it still cannot beat the Chuan Chuan Xiang restaurant if it opens a shop in Leshan. Chuan Chuan Xiang originated in Leshan. It is a kind of delicacy with Leshan "local household registration". There are Chuan Chuan restaurants all over the streets. It has a wide variety of dishes and low prices. It is very down-to-earth and can basically be said to be invincible.

When you come to Leshan to eat Chuan Chuan Xiang, you must take the beef in handfuls. When the red soup in the pot boils, put a handful of beef in and wait for a few minutes before taking it out. At this time, the beef is just boiled to the right degree and very tender. Dip it in our Leshan specialty dry chili noodles, and you won’t be able to stop eating it.

Now that we are in Leshan, if we want to eat Chuan Chuan Xiang, we must eat the authentic ones. In recent years, many chuanchuanxiang restaurants have opened in Leshan, and I have eaten at some of them. To be honest, the taste is really not good. The oldest chuanchuanxiang restaurant in Leshan is still the best, such as Leshan Bapo Chuanchuanxiang. Although the decoration is inconspicuous, the taste is really very good.

3. Saucy noodles

Many people say that when you go to Leshan, you must eat a bowl of tofu pudding for breakfast. I don’t think so. Tofu pudding will make you hungry too quickly. If you are going to Leshan Giant Buddha or Mount Emei after breakfast, it is best not to choose tofu pudding. A bowl of noodles is the most practical. You may say, who hasn’t eaten noodles? You can cook them at home! However, if you eat our Leshan dry noodles, you will not say that.

Noodle shops in Leshan may not have beef noodles or pork rib noodles, but they definitely cannot be without dry-saury noodles. The most common臊子 in Leshan is fried with pork and bean sprouts. The ingredients are simple, but it smells very fragrant when fried. Every noodle is covered with臊子. After eating, drink a bowl of bone soup, and there is no problem in holding on until noon. Zhangji Gan Shao Noodles is a noodle shop I have been going to since I started school. Even if I was almost late for class in the morning, I would still go to get a bowl and eat while running. It is quite fun to think about it now.

4. Bobo Chicken

Representative store: Leshan Tangji Bobo Chicken; Address: No. 142, East Street, Shizhong District, Leshan City, Sichuan Province

After writing for a long time, I finally wrote about Bobo Chicken. As the champion among cold-style skewers, Bobo Chicken has long been popular all over the country. In recent years, there have been many so-called Bobo Chicken internet-famous restaurants in Leshan. Actually, I don’t quite understand how they became popular, and the taste is just so-so.

The best Bobo Chicken has a clear and cool soup base. Even if it is a red soup, it has a layer of sesame seeds and oil. The dish is soaked in red oil and it is so fragrant when you bite it. It is fresh, spicy and very comfortable. My favorite is the old Leshan flavor of Tangji Bobo Chicken. Although the decoration of the shop may be ordinary, the taste is very authentic. If you want to eat there, it is better to avoid peak hours to avoid queuing.

5. Sweet-skinned duck

Representative store: Chenji Laolu; Address: No. 63, Renmin East Road, Shizhong District, Leshan City, Sichuan Province

By the time you finish eating the delicacies I mentioned before, almost two days will have passed. If you want to go home, don’t forget the sweet-skinned duck, a specialty of Leshan. If you come to Leshan and buy a sweet-skinned duck to eat, it's like you haven't been there. The most comfortable state of sweet-skin duck is that the skin is coated with sugar, but not too much, so it doesn’t taste too sweet, the meat is chewy but not dry, and even the bones are crispy.

There are also one or two sweet-skin duck restaurants in Leshan that are internet celebrities. I personally don't recommend you to buy from them. To be honest, most of the customers are from other places. They are famous, but the taste is just so-so. If you ask the locals in Leshan which sweet-skin duck restaurant is the best, nine out of ten will tell you it’s Chen Ji Lao Lu, which was featured on Leshan TV.
