Sichuan is a paradise for foodies. When you think of Leshan, what do you think of?
Is it the delicious and sweet stilts beef, the smooth and delicious tofu curd, the fragrant Bobo chicken, the soft and fragrant leaf cake, or the sweet-skinned duck that is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside?
I went to Leshan a while ago, a place famous for its Bobo Chicken and Stilt-footed Beef. There are also a lot of other delicacies waiting for me to discover.
Traveling that is not for the purpose of food is just a hooligan~ Come and see what I ate this day!
The original Tiaojiao Beef was truly a delicacy of the lowest class people. It only had a ceiling, a pot, a square table, and not even stools. There was just a crossbar under the table, which only allowed guests to rest with their feet tilted up, so it was called "Qiaojiao Beef".
"Beef" ~ That bowl of soup is very particular. The soup is made by adding different nourishing herbs according to the 24 solar terms in China. It has the unique aroma of beef and medicinal food.
Take a sip, your mouth will be filled with fluid, and your lips and teeth will be fragrant.
The restaurant we went to eat: The essence of Feng Siniang's cross-legged beef is in its soup. The surface is covered with a layer of sesame seeds and fragrant red oil, and underneath the oil is the carefully brewed soup.
The base of the soup is local chicken soup. As for the things on the skewers waiting to be eaten, they are mostly local chicken and its offal. They are soaked in a juice composed of chicken soup, chicken oil and the best sesame seeds and vine peppers. They are fresh and fresh.
The oil is dripping without losing the pure fragrance.
The restaurant we ate at is an old restaurant that has dominated the Leshan Bobo Chicken Market for 10 years, called "Guzhenji", and it's located in the old park.
Tofu curd is not the main thing, but the soup is the protagonist ~ I chose beef for the red soup, hot and tender tofu curd, vermicelli and soup base, then topped with a bowl of thick beef soup, plus chives, celery, peanuts and other condiments
, and finally add the steamed beef, which is tender, crispy, fragrant, and spicy. It blends together and is super satisfying after one bite.
You can choose shredded chicken for the clear soup. The red soup is thicker, and the clear soup is fresh and sweet~ The cakes and steamed rice series are standard, but we didn’t order them. We couldn’t eat too much, and we had to leave our stomachs for the delicious food later.
A relatively famous old shop recommended by locals is called "Jiumei Phoenix Claw".
In addition to various flavors of chicken feet, there are also some other snacks, such as three-fresh ice powder and strange-flavored potatoes. You can try the same ones. However, it is very crowded, so be prepared to queue up.
Let me tell you a little more, there is a stall not far from Jiu Mei Chicken Claws, which was also recommended to us by the locals, called "Hua Jie Phoenix Claws", it is also super delicious, don't miss it.
After eating so many spicy and numb foods, come to a bowl of ice powder to soothe your taste buds. Hand-made ice powder is sold everywhere in Leshan. It is the most down-to-earth way to relieve the heat. This may be the most famous ice powder in Leshan, on Gulou Street.
In the alley, opposite Jiumei Phoenix Claw.
The ice powder contains fermented glutinous rice, small glutinous rice balls, white fungus and thick sugar water. It's perfect if you want to have a bowl of spicy food.
It is said that no duck can leave Leshan alive. Sweet-skinned duck is also one of the must-eat delicacies when visiting Leshan.
Wang Haoer and Ji Liuniang may be the number one sweet duck in Leshan. The queue outside the main store is really long ~ but they also have many branches. If you really don’t want to wait, go to the branch to buy!
My favorite is the crispy skin of the sweet duck, which is crispy and fragrant.
I have a question, why are most of the store names in Leshan called "XX Niang"?
I finally ate all the way from morning to night, and Leshan was even more lively at night.
Food Street: Zhanggongqiao, you will be dazzled along the way.
Let’s forget about calories for a while while you’re here!
A pleasant day of shopping and eating is over~ Do you have any recommendations or suggestions for the food in Leshan? Welcome to share it!
