If you are a foodie, don’t miss Zigong’s delicious food. There are many choices of local food in Zigong, and you can choose according to your own preferences. If you like spicy food, don’t miss the following delicacies.

Beef series

Zigong salt dishes can be said to start from beef, because the mining and transportation of well salt are inseparable from cattle. Every year, a large number of draft cattle are retired or exhausted. Salt merchants will sell these cattle to restaurants or mortgage their wages to salt workers. Beef became one of the most readily available and cheapest ingredients at the time.

Faced with so much beef, Zigong chefs will naturally try various methods to cook beef. Boiled beef, roasted beef, cold beef, steamed beef, tripe hot pot, etc. It has been passed down as a classic. Among them, the boiled beef is top-notch, and even those who don’t understand salt vegetables must have tasted it.

Fresh Rabbit Tujia Cuisine

Address: Huichuan Road (next to Sophia Hotel)

This Xianlin Tujia restaurant was brought to me by a local friend in Zigong. A portion of boiled beef completely won me over and I am still enjoying it. Unlike other boiled beef I've eaten before, the meat in this store is obviously not marinated with very strong tenderizing powder, but the beef is just right tender and the spicy taste is much stronger. It's so addictive that I can't stop using my chopsticks. .

Fish eggs are also a special dish, completely different from the fish eggs I have eaten before. Not old or tough at all, very tender and smooth, but perfectly cooked. Served with fresh chili and ginger, it was fragrant and spicy, and a large plate of fish roe was quickly devoured.

Qiu Xiaochao

Address: No. 204, 2nd Floor, Pingqiao West Street, Gongcao Road

Qiu Xiaochao is also a legend in Zigong. His boss has an uncanny skill of cooking in seven pots at the same time. It used to be just a roadside stall, but now it has a store in Chengdu. The classic one is their cold beef, beef jerky, chili, chili oil, sesame, but it doesn't feel greasy and chewy.

Jin Kui Big Roast Beef

Address: No. 385 Huixing Road

Before coming to this store, I was quite puzzled. In my impression, Zigong people are addicted to spicy food. How can such a restaurant serving roast beef become an old brand and be promoted by everyone? I ordered a small roast beef and a steamed pork.

When I took my first bite, however, I noticed something wasn’t quite right about it. Why does roast beef end up with a handful of peppercorns? Why is the steamed pork noodles coated with spicy millet? Yes, it is really Zigong.

Rabbit series

People from outside Chengdu who like to eat rabbits should be impressed, but compared with Zigong people, Chengdu people are really willing to bow to the wind. I believe that every Chengdu person has at least one Zigong selling Lengtu in their circle of friends.

How much do Zigong people love rabbits? Because rabbits have many small bones, in order to make it easier for everyone to buy them and cook them at home, a special type of bone-cutting job was born in Zigong’s vegetable market.

Fortunately, his cold shrimp is pretty good. It dissipates heat.
