"Iron Cannon", "Fire Cannon", "Gun Cannon", so the name of the general name "Three Cannons".

Traveling to Chengdu, the regular attractions fast narrow alley, Jinli, Luodai Ancient Town are easy to see the three cannons. Frankly, locals are not consuming this much now (we usually buy more realistically priced patties to eat), but it's an interesting Sichuan snack. It's a lot more fun to play with, and it's still worth a trip to Chengdu.

The three cannons are sweet and savory, sweet but not greasy, and easy to crumble, and are also good to serve with tea as a refreshment. Not to be missed by those who like sweetness and the soft, crumbly texture of mochi.

Recommendation 2: Spicy rabbit head

Spicy rabbit head is one of the famous snacks in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, which is fresh and flavorful with excellent taste. The main ingredients are frozen fresh rabbit head, dried chili, ginger, refined oil and so on.

The rabbit is so cute, adding more chili is even better. Chengdu people like to eat rabbit head, of which Shuangliu mom rabbit head is particularly famous. This cuisine can be found in restaurants, night markets, stalls, and brine stores, which shows the great charm of rabbit head. There are two kinds of rabbit head: spicy and five flavors, but we recommend you to try the spicy flavor if you want to feel the most Chengdu flavor. Rabbit head has little meat and is mainly eaten for flavor, but the process is very enjoyable. Many stores are ready to pack service, and even vacuum, foreign foodies have a blessing. In addition to gnawing rabbit brain shell in some parts of Sichuan has a special meaning, foreign partners may wish to guess?

Recommendation 3: sugar oil fruit

Sugar oil fruit in the old days in Chengdu flower will be the most prevalent, because many people are holding a bamboo skewer of sugar oil fruit to eat while walking, enjoy the flowers to see the lanterns, and then formed a flower on the diet of another landscape. Sugar-oil fruit taste sweet and crispy skin, crispy and soft but not greasy is its characteristics and flavor.

Street stalls are more likely to see the sweetened fruit, and generally only sell this one product. It's a nice treat to watch the process of deep-frying the candied fruits. The choice of which one to buy the sweetened fruit is not particularly different, but eaten while hot taste is absolutely first-class. The sweet, tangy, crispy and crunchy texture is to die for. Although it is fried, but not a lot of fried food greasy feeling, anyway, I once on three skewers will not get tired.

Recommendation 4: Ice powder

Ice powder is a famous snack originated in Pengshan District, Meishan City, Sichuan Province, in recent years in a number of places popular, is a famous summer snack. It is cold and sweet, tender and refreshing, and it is a good way to relieve summer heat and cool down the fire.

The prevalence of hot pot has also spread this authentic Sichuan snacks to the field, summer summer or with hot pot is a perfect match. I have a friend from Hebei, every time I come to Chengdu to eat hot pot, I have to order three bowls of ice powder. Although the practice of ice powder is simple, but to do a good job is still quite difficult. The first thing is to control the degree of softness of the ice powder, too soft to form, too hard to chew. Secondly, the mix of ingredients is also very careful, the traditional basic only add brown sugar water flavoring, and then there are stores to add raisins, peanuts, hawthorn slices, sesame and other ingredients, and now more and more complex, mash, small dumplings, cinnamon, watermelon and other types of ingredients.

Recommendation 5: cold noodles

Cold noodles, also known as cold noodles, also known as "water noodles", originated in the Tang Dynasty, refers to cold noodles, the main ingredients are noodles, vegetables, ingredients such as chili oil, salt, monosodium glutamate (MSG), etc., but the practice of cold noodles is different from one place to another, and thus the practice and ingredients are also different, especially suitable for summer consumption.

Cool noodles are considered a snack in many parts of the country, and certainly in Sichuan. Sichuan cold noodles is of course spicy for the main, many stores will also add monosodium glutamate, sugar to enhance the flavor, and finally add the right amount of scallions. The cold noodles themselves do not require much, the important thing is to be able to blend the outstanding flavor of the spoonful of oil spicy. My favorite of all Sichuan cold noodles is this type of shredded chicken cold noodles pictured above, the addition of chicken adds to the richness of the cold noodle sensory experience.
