When talking about Chengdu, everyone’s impression of Chengdu’s food is spicy, but there is another snack in Chengdu that is not only not spicy but also sweet and delicious, and that is the sugar-oiled fruit we are going to talk about today.

Today I will take you to take a look at Tangyouguozi, a memory shop belonging to the post-90s generation in Chengdu.

In Chengdu, many people call sugar-oiled fruit swan eggs. The reason is very simple, because the shape looks like a swan egg, which is a famous snack in Chengdu. When the swan eggs are made, the outside is very golden and shiny, and the outside is crispy.

The inside tastes very soft and glutinous, and the taste is sweet. After eating, there is still a sweet taste in your mouth.

Because the sugar-oiled fruit is fried, the heat is very important. If you fry it for a long time, it will become greasy when you take it out and let it cool. If you don't fry it for too long, it will not be crispy on the outside after you take it out.

Therefore, although there are many sweet and oily fruits on the streets of Chengdu, only a few are famous.

Some sugar-oiled fruits require adding brown sugar twice during the frying process, and they also need to be constantly stirred and rolled to prevent them from sticking together and to make the hollow of the sugar-oiled fruits continue to expand into a round shape.

The ingredients for Tangyouguozi are glutinous rice, brown sugar, and sesame seeds. After they are made, they are threaded with bamboo skewers. They are somewhat similar to the Tanghulu we eat. Tangyouguozi is sold very cheaply in Chengdu. There is a signature on it.

There are four or five of them, and they only cost 3 to 5 yuan.

The sesame seeds on the surface not only give people a very delicious feeling, but also taste very crispy and soft after biting into it. The fruit is hollow and does not taste particularly greasy.

In fact, this kind of food has been around for more than a thousand years, in the Song Dynasty. Before, people would sell it at flower festivals. Many people like to wear it with bamboo sticks and eat it while eating.

While looking at the flowers and looking at the lanterns, the sugar-oiled fruit has been passed down.

This became a beautiful food scene at the early flower party.

If you go to Chengdu, you can not only see it in the streets and alleys, but also often at temple fairs.

Next, I would like to recommend a few sweet and oily fruit shops that will not make mistakes.

When I was a kid, the name of this store will bring back my longing for Tangyouguozi.

But this store is not selling from a cart like before. Instead, there is a thermal cabinet at the door of a small courtyard. The sugar-oiled fruits in the cabinet are golden, and you can buy a bunch just by passing by.

The second one is Mengjiaxiang Tangyouguozi, a small stall at the entrance of Mengjiaxiang, where the chef frys sugary oily guoszi every day.

The outer skin is very crispy. The fruits here must be eaten while hot to feel the crispiness. The glutinous rice inside is sticky and fragrant and soft when chewed.
