Chengdu natives reluctant to share the hot pot restaurant big reveal

Last week, I went to Chengdu with Ms. Guagua and Ms. Jiuyuan. As a fake Chengduer who has been away from home for many years, I naturally took up the task of a tour guide, and the hot pot was definitely on the agenda.

For traditional hot pot, I preferred a small store in a residential area. However, in order to emphasize the advantage of my local people, I decided to arrange some extra Chengdu hot pot, which is rarely encountered by foreign friends, and let's call it fancy hot pot for the time being.

In fact, in Chengdu, chicken, fish, rabbit, frogs, and even bean curd can be turned into the main character of the hot pot. So go to Chengdu in addition to the traditional hot pot, a variety of fancy hot pot is more local characteristics of the choice.

Combining my 20 years of experience living in Chengdu, and stalking, begging, and coercing my Chengdu friends, I've finally come up with this list of hot pot restaurants that Chengdu natives can't be bothered to bring out (at the end of this article). These restaurants are delicious and inexpensive, and the lowest per capita consumption is only thirty. After taking Guagua and Jiuyuan to test a few of these restaurants, I'd like to share with you these hot pot restaurants that the people of Chengdu are also lining up for.

Opened in the neighborhood is flavorful!

In the past two years, Chengdu has seen a wave of old hot pots, usually in the form of community stores, small stores, ordinary environment, but the flavor is "Ba Shi to board". And the locals crowded in a small hall, eating a unique city of fireworks flavor hot pot.

Youth Hot Pot

Hours: 10:00-23:00

Address: Baiyun Street, more dam each

Youth Hot Pot is considered a Yulin community hot pot in the rising star, the main store in Yulin, the city center is a branch, not far from Chunxi Road, hidden in the old residential areas. Originally thought that the new branch must be a bit more elegant, did not expect a small storefront, the table adds up to a **** but seven or eight.

The pot base to be slightly spicy, just up when the pot is full of butter and chili peppers, Guagua and nine yuan students saw once suspected that the store is not a mistake. As a wandering Chengdu traveler, see this thick butter can not help but tears, this is the hot pot well, the face of those outside a thin layer of red oil is what things.

Add water and fire, in fact, the flavor of the youth hot pot pot base is relatively mild, as the shopkeeper himself said, is "spicy with sweet".

After the bottom of the pot boiled under the dish, dry gonorrhea must point out, under the pot a little bit of cooking can be eaten, eat up is crunchy texture, cooked for a long time on the "rake", not good, in the field of hot pot store basically can not eat. Dried cauliflower is also very good, but unfortunately when we went there is no longer.

Fresh Duck Blood is also a must, red duck blood in the stainless steel bowl shaking, like just solidified on the. A brain into the pot, do not stir, turn on the high heat to boil, until the duck blood floating on the surface can be fished up to eat. That fresh, that tender, that flavor, recall can not help but swallow saliva.

Spicy Beef Slices look very heavy, but in fact under the pot of chili noodles will fall, thick code material just let the meat more flavorful, cooked to the color to fish up to eat, otherwise it is old.

His crab meat stick, lunch meat, rake chicken feet are very good, the only thing we do not recommend is tender pork slice, flour wrapped too thick, eat too smooth not like eating meat. The other love to eat what point what it, hot pot of happiness is so simple ah.

Hongshe, Zhengyuan, Wuliguan, and Xu Ji Junmei are all community hot pot leaders that have emerged in the past few years, and are widely acclaimed. Jagged Girl, Huang Xiaoshan are not as well known as the previous ones, but are my friend's private collection of favorites.

Chengdu's hot pot restaurant updated iterative very quickly, there are a number of stores opened at the beginning of the flavor is good, popular after the start of the franchise on the road to capital, rapid expansion but ignored the quality. These are still focusing on hot pot, there are outlets are also self-managed, in the "best flavor appreciation period", after a few years, it is hard to say.

Of course, if you have requirements for the environment, the Chengdu people love to eat large chain hot pot restaurant I also recommend a few by the way: Sichuan Jiuxiang, Bashu Dazhaimen, Chuanxi Bazi . These are the Chengdu hot pot representatives with stable output, many branches but the quality has been online.

The rabbit is so cute that it must be used to cook in a hot pot

Chengdu people love to eat rabbits, which is an indisputable fact known to all countries, spicy rabbit head, rabbit diced in red oil, hand-torn roasted rabbit ...... In the many ways to eat rabbits, the most family-friendly way to eat rabbits must be the rabbit hot pot, which is also the most Chengdu characteristic kind of hot pot in my opinion. It's also the best Chengdu hotpot in my opinion. If you don't mind eating rabbit, make sure you put rabbit in hot pot on your agenda for your trip to Chengdu.

Yangji Xiongqi Zhonghe Rabbit

Hours: 10:00-22:00

Address: 300 Gongjiqiao Road, Shuangliu District

Rabbit is a relatively fishy meat, and the fresher it is, the better it is. It is not allowed to kill live birds within the third ring road in Chengdu, and all live birds are killed and then transported in. If you want to eat freshly killed rabbit in hot pot, you have to go out of town, and this restaurant in Shuangliu, Chengdu, is arguably ahead of the vast majority of rabbit hot pots in Chengdu in terms of rabbit freshness.

Because we were staying at the Intercontinental at the Global Center, which is very close to the restaurant and a ten-minute taxi ride away, we dropped off our bags at the hotel and went there. At 5pm on a weekday, the store was already 70% to 80% full, and it wasn't long before the line started to form.

In Simone's guide to sit down and order, most of the rabbit hot pot in the city is sold according to the portion, but this is a freshly killed, so it is sold according to the only, three girls order one will be completely enough.

Now kill now do, waiting time will be longer than the general rabbit hot pot, during which you can go to the next door to a bowl of ice powder, is a lot of small bubbles of hand rubbing ice powder, delicious, to solve the spicy.

After silently swallowing a lot of saliva, our rabbit was finally served. A big pot of red, look at the delightful, just about to reach the chopsticks, next to the Simone reminded Simone, you have to boil before you can eat it.

His pot base is very full of flavor, it is recommended to eat a couple of mouths and then decide whether to add salt and oyster sauce, afraid of spicy point of an oil dish, not afraid of spicy directly hit the pot in the original soup to eat up enough flavor. The store's spoon looks unique, is specifically used to play the original soup, very convenient.

After the fire boiled, quickly fish a chopstick rabbit up, rabbit meat is over the oil once again for frying, so the meat is very tight, not easy to cook scattered, strong spicy flavor dispersed rabbit fishy, eat up very addictive.

After eating the meat, you can get down to the dishes, the pot itself has a lot of bean sprouts, the store will also send twelve dollars of optional vegetables, according to their own preferences on the point. Gua Gua students recommend the green bamboo shoots strips, cooked in the spicy pot of green bamboo shoots more fresh and sweet.

By the time we finished eating, there was a line out the door. As the store is more lively and noisy, the witty boss at the door of a microphone, there is no need to run back and forth, sitting on the bar to the microphone roar a voice on the line, Chengdu people are lazy lazy so style, love.

The city has also been popular for a while. Chengdu has also been popular for some time Ba Ram (hang) rabbit , a non-spicy version of rabbit hot pot, using boneless rabbit tenderloin down to the soup pot, eating the freshness of rabbit meat. Currently, there are nearly ten chain stores in Chengdu, so if you can't eat spicy food and want to try rabbit hot pot, you can try it.

The average person can eat more than fifty

In the fancy hot pot, I remember that the most popular in Chengdu is the cold pot fish buffet, which costs only fifteen dollars a person at the beginning, and the fish and vegetables are supplied in unlimited quantities. Cold pot fish does not mean that the fish is cold, but that the fish is cooked and served in a pot. Fish is easily dispersed when cooked for a long time, so when it first comes up it is left unfired, and you eat the fish that is already cooked in the pot before turning on the fire to blanch the vegetables.

Brothers Pike Fish

Hours: 11:00-15:00, 17:00-23:00

Address: No. 6 ShuiMianHe Road, Steel Pipe Factory, District 1

There aren't many cold-pot fish buffets in Chengdu these days, and most of them are near schools and old neighborhoods. This cold-pot fish buffet, which is weighed by the pound, is located in the Steel Pipe Factory area, a neighborhood food hub in Chengdu (where the popular Xiao Shun Liver Skewers originated).

Although it's called Brothers Pike Fish, the iconic character of the restaurant is the owner's wife. The beautiful, stylish owner is very enthusiastic, and after asking how many people will eat, she quickly picked up a big fish from the pool, weighed it, and sent it to the back of the kitchen. Waiting for the process to help us play good seasoning, and then help scoop up the original soup after the fish pot came up, simply can not stay idle.

Generally this hot pot, Chengdu people's default is to play the original soup in the pot as a dipping plate, this restaurant does not have a new style of soup ladle, using a soup ladle and a funnel with the way, to eat spicy to play some more red oil, can not eat spicy to play some more soup base.

We went to eat at noon, there are few people, do not have to wait for a place, the fish is also on the fast. The pot is served up don't be scared by the dense pepper, actually eat more mild, numbness and spiciness are relatively light, very friendly to foreign friends.

The pike side of the fish scientific name pincer fish, is a kind of spiny less tender meat cheap know how to fish. If you want to talk about the disadvantages, this fish has more fat under the skin, eat more will be tired, according to the head to count if one person a catty is enough.

After eating the fish, then open fire hot dishes. More than a dozen common hot pot vegetarian dishes all unlimited free supply, recommended rice cold noodles and well water tofu . The food is fresh and doesn't lose its quality just because it's free, which is probably another reason why the neighborhood is so popular.

But since the restaurant was recently recommended by a food blogger on Jitterbug, a lot of people went there, and the queue was very heavy at night. In fact, chengdu currently survived opened more than five years of cold pot fish taste is not bad , you can find a nearby (unless you want to meet the beautiful boss lady).

Chengdu's old net red hot pot, on the review of the list of must-eat, so a lot of foreign tourists who will eat will also seek over. Opened in Chengdu Ximen Fuqin neighborhood of the old alley, along the street are all kinds of food. Although the store has been expanding, but the flavor has been online, the queue of the feast has also been maintained, so people love and hate.

Old low tables and stools, greasy ground, the environment is typical of the fly museum, but the people of Chengdu never care about these, each table is full of people, eat a lot of good fun.

A small pot of 88 yuan, which in addition to chicken and a lot of side dishes, enough for three girls to eat. The pot is full of pots, Simone will be the first time for you to play the original soup, no need to open fire can be eaten directly. It's the same as cold pot fish, you can also call it cold pot chicken.

The chicken is made from black-bone chicken, which melts in your mouth after being pressed in a pressure cooker, but the chicken is not the main attraction, it's the side dishes that are the main attraction, konjac, bamboo shoots, taro, snow peas, and mushrooms. . All of them are so delicious in the red oil.

Chengdu people call taro, very cute. The taro in this house has also been through the experience of the pressure cooker, super soft and sticky, and after the clip rotten mixed with the original soup dipping plate especially flavorful, melt in the mouth.

The bamboo shoots are crispy, the konjac is Q, not enough to eat can also be added separately, even the store itself is posted on the wall, telling everyone that the side dishes are the specialties. Of course, some of the regular hot pot sides are available, but it's recommended that you finish the pot before adding more.

Here's a tip for not waiting in line, order takeout. You can order all the side dishes you want, and the restaurant will pack them up in one pot.

Of course, the thrifty residents of the neighborhood take their own pots and pans to serve, and then they can cook the food at home in their pots, which is a great way to live.

Luzhou Bean Blossom with Pickled Vegetables

Hours: 11:00-23:00

Address: **** and Road **** and the village of No. 8, Annex No. 4

This store is open next to the University of Sichuan, and very close to the Nine Eyes Bridge, more than ten years of old store redecorated, the environment is already good in today's recommended hot pot restaurant.

Douhua hot pot pot only "Douhua Department", what meat Douhua, three fresh Douhua, excellent Douhua, the name may sound a little unclear, in fact, can be understood as a combination of Douhua + a variety of ingredients, a few people on the point of a few pots, all the ingredients are mixed in a pot on the end of up.

Soybean flower and soy milk are unlimited and free.

Unlike the pots covered in a thick layer of red oil and no soup in sight, the pots at Bean Blossom Hot Pot look very healthy when they are served, and are the kind of balanced nutrition that mom and dad would praise.

The light bean curd hot pot retains the freshness of the ingredients themselves, while the traditional skill of Chengdu hot pot, spicy, is taken care of by the dipping saucer. If you want a bit of a kick, roll the ingredients in the dipping saucer a few times, and if you can't handle the spice, gently flick the ingredients through the dipping saucer for a bit of fun, and you'll have a century-long reconciliation in front of the bean curd hot pot.

The pot of bean curd will melt in your mouth without force after entrance, with a little bit of brine flavor, it is the kind of ancient flavor, eat kindly. The longer the tofu is cooked, the fresher all the ingredients are drilled into its pores, and the whole thing becomes even more delicious.

After the pot of vegetables, I personally strongly recommend that you must point a pea tips , which is the most tender part of the pea shoots, is the white moonlight of all Chengdu people, in order that it can even take the initiative to ask to eat mandarin ducks pot. After pouring into the pot, it can be scalded for a few seconds and then pulled out. Eaten alone, you can taste the fragrance of the beans and the sweetness of the vegetables, and when dipped in the dipping sauce, the sweetness will be emphasized even more, and the freshness of the tenderness is unbelievable.

Lastly, I'd like to remind you that the amount of ingredients in the pot is sufficient for a single order of the base (a nod to Chengdu's affordable prices), so don't start impulsively ordering blindly, as it's easy to waste.
