1. Chen Mapo Tofu is a well-known shop named "China Time-honored Brand" by the state. In the early years of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1862), it opened in Wanfuqiao in the northern suburb of Chengdu. Formerly known as Chen Xingsheng Restaurant, the chef is Chen Chunfu's wife.
The tofu cooked by Chen is red and bright, and the beef is crispy and fragrant, hemp, spicy, fragrant, crisp, tender, hot and neat, which is very rich in Sichuan flavor. It soon became famous, and food seekers are eager for it, and literati and poets often come here. Some busybodies look at the pockmarks on Chen's face, so they play it as "Chen Mapo's tofu", which makes it a beautiful talk to leave without a path. Therefore, the restaurant was crowned as "Chen Mapo Tofu Shop". At the end of Qing Dynasty, Chen Mapo's tofu was listed as a famous food in Chengdu.
2. Husband and wife lung slices
A well-known flavor dish in Chengdu. According to legend, in the 1931s, near Shaocheng, Chengdu, there was a man named Guo Chaohua, who, together with his wife, was engaged in manufacturing and selling cold beef and lung slices. The couple personally operated them, walking around the streets and selling them with baskets. Because of their fine production and unique flavor, the cold lung slices they operate are deeply loved by people. In order to distinguish them from ordinary lung slice stalls, people call them "husband and wife lung slices". After the establishment of the store, we paid more attention to the materials, replacing the initial single lung with beef, heart, tongue, belly and scalp, and the quality of the second sister rabbit Ding Yi improved day by day. In order to maintain the original flavor of this dish, the name of "Couple Lung Tablets" has been used ever since.
3. Dandan Noodles is a famous snack in Chengdu. Roll the flour into noodles, cook them, and spoon the fried pork powder. The cooked noodles are thin, the marinade is crisp and fragrant, salty and slightly spicy, and the aroma is tangy and very tasty. This dish is widely circulated in Sichuan and is often used as a feast snack. The most famous one in Dandan Noodles is Chenbaobao Dandan Noodles, which was founded in 1841 by a vendor named Chenbaobao in Zigong. It was originally named after peddling along the street with a burden. In the past, Dandan Noodles, who walked the streets in Chengdu, used a copper pot to separate two compartments, one for cooking noodles, and the other for stewing chicken or hooves. At present, most of Dandan Noodles in Chongqing, Chengdu, Zigong and other places have changed to store management, but they still maintain their original characteristics, especially Dandan Noodles in Chengdu.
