Ice noodle is a specialty snack of Sichuan, which is very popular in Southwest China, and many people have been amazed by the sweetness and deliciousness of ice noodle when they first came to Sichuan.
Ice powder in Sichuan first appeared in the late Ming Dynasty in Wuyang, Sichuan (present-day Pengshan County), and is said to have been discovered inadvertently by a girl named Wang Weiyuan. On her way up the mountain to pick pears, she accidentally dropped plant seeds into her scented bag, and when she washed it, she found that the pulp was overflowing. A moment of curiosity and a brave attempt brought this delightful flavor to light. It is even better when eaten with the addition of brown sugar.
Initially, ice powder was only found in Pengshan, and by the middle of the Qing Dynasty, ice powder and the legend of its discovery gradually spread throughout Sichuan, popularizing it to this day.
Ice powder, is made from a plant with the scientific name of false sour paste. Native to Peru. During the Age of Sail, it traveled across the ocean to Sichuan, along with sweet potatoes and potatoes.
On weekdays, most people do not recognize this inconspicuous weed. In fact, not only become a gourmet food, fake sour paste flowers are also very beautiful.
I am ashamed to say that, as a veteran ice powder lover, if not to write this article, I also know nothing about the true face of the false sour paste flowers.
The flower has five petals, so I decided to pick the TOP5 Sichuan ice powder I've eaten.
On the Sichuan-Vietnamese road, in each city, I first mark the location of ice powder store in the city, time is limited, and visit the store as you like. Usually, I would choose the store's signature product or the whole family ice powder to taste. I ended up including 40 in the list.
Scoring criteria:
Below 3: Failed
3: Average or unimpressive.
3.5: a drop of deliciousness
4: on-the-spot than praise
4.5: highly recommended
5: top of the Sichuan
The rating is based on my own subjective feelings, just for reference.
Since it is not a specialized store, the omission of missing is inevitable. I also hope to throw a brick to attract jade, welcome friends from all over Sichuan to share more of their own private collection of small stores, I have time to explore again.
TOP 5
No.1 Leshan - Skewer sister fancy ice powder
Keywords: mother-in-law
Street snacks, once opened into a chain store, quality control has become extremely difficult. But the quality of the string sister head office is really good, never turn over. The price is also very affordable. A 8 yuan "mother-in-law" ice powder, has transcended the positioning of the dessert after dinner. If you are not a big eater, you can eat a bowl of 80% full. As the saying goes, "mother-in-law love Lang, children love sugar", here with very solid ingredients, a large patty cake, although it does not look good, but the taste is excellent. The overall rating is first, and it's true.
No.2 Guang'an - Bing Bing
Keywords: dried jujubes
The first time I ate it, I was amazed. The crunchy dried jujube has a very prominent texture, and with the smooth ice powder, supplemented with common ingredients such as red beans, hawthorn slices, raisins, and mochi, the eating experience is more three-dimensional. I gave it full marks on the spot, even ignoring its boringly harmonic store name. Unfortunately, when I went back the next day, the texture of the dried jujubes had become soft and even a bit hard to bite into, and while the flavor was still great, the inconsistent quality was worrisome.
No.3 Guangyuan - Missy ice powder
Keywords: visual
This store can be said to be one of the most pursued along the way, the store environment is minimalist, whether it is the design of the price list or the ice powder product collocation, it looks like a very texture. Glass bowls and small iron spoons, end up heavier than the ordinary store, looks more advanced. Dragon fruit and taro balls enrich the color scheme, and a small slice of lemon is the finishing touch. It was lunchtime and the owner was making mochi by hand. You can feel the heart of this small store.
No.4 Anyue - Yangji Handmade Ice Powder
Keywords: popping beads
This store is in the heart of Anyue County, offering a wealth of choices for pairing. Very generous with sesame seeds, popping beads are hidden in melon seeds, diced watermelon, and patty cake cubes, which explode in your mouth from time to time, making it a special experience. Our group at the store to eat ice powder, learning idioms, leaving a sweet memory.
No.5 Xichang - Binhe Road old ice powder
Keywords: cost-effective
Street by chance to meet the old two, two clone stalls, selling ice powder at an amazing price of 2 yuan. The lowest price in all of Sichuan. The quality of the ice powder is not muddled, and the boss is always willing to add more mash. The appearance after inserting a straw is ordinary, but compared to those fancy Netflix milk tea, this ice powder and Xichang hot summer more match.
Afterword
As a veteran ice noodle lover, my ice noodle journey is still not over.
In Leshan alone, there are still a lot of old ice noodle stores that I haven't been to.
And as the provincial capital of Chengdu, I did not mention one here, wait until the future of the accumulation of enough, and then dedicated to recommend.
This private list can't be exhaustive. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good look at this, but I'm sure I'm going to be able to get a good look at this. I also welcome friends from all over the world to continue to recommend, have the opportunity to add.
Overall, the quality of ice powder in Sichuan province is relatively average. In addition to giving me diarrhea or having a noticeable lack of heart, basically I think it's all above the passing line.
Ice powder is easy to make, and in addition to the traditional hand-rubbed ice powder, it is now common to find ice powder powder in supermarkets. It can be said that there is almost no threshold.
However, there have not been many innovative attempts by ice powder shopkeepers.
We had a dinner table to talk about a lot of ice powder auxiliary ideas, but also want to wait for the opportunity to run an ice powder festival. July in the player music mini ice powder festival, several ice powder are poor, still need to practice.
Taiwan's street food pearl milk tea, in this era of consumer upgrading, the birth of countless net red brand. With normal inflation, I wouldn't be surprised if someday the net red iced powder somewhere can also be sold for 20 to 30 dollars a bowl with various gimmicks.
I'm happy to see more stores doing more experimentation. I'm also happy to see ice powder being loved by more people.
There's a simple happiness in ice cream.
I've eaten a lot of ice cream, and I'm really not tired of it.
Do you like icy noodles too?
