What is the perfect city? A thousand people may have a thousand answers. Whether it is the prosperity of a modern city, the simple and elegant old streets, or the endless stories told on the road, these are all things that people often recall. The most pyrotechnic place in a city is often closely related to the food on the tip of the tongue. Food may be the simplest and most direct memory of a city for many people. As a "land of abundance", Chengdu has attracted many domestic and foreign tourists. As a foodie, you must miss this city with a strong fireworks atmosphere. It not only has rich and diverse food culture, but also has literary and artistic feelings that many people appreciate. Let you not forget for a long time. This time, Xiaobian takes you to check in Chengdu, and walks through the fireworks and literature and art in the world to appreciate the charm of Chengdu together.

1. Oyster Hero·Self-service Roast Oysters: Unlimited amount of raw oysters will be delicious

In Chengdu, you can choose to eat hot pot, jelly noodles, maocai, or cold cakes, glutinous rice cakes, etc., but these are originally Chengdu's own local delicacies. If people want to eat something different in Chengdu, oysters are a good choice. If you like to eat raw oysters, you must come to Oyster Hero·Buffet Barbecue. The raw oysters that arrive by air that day will be salvaged and transported and then washed to the table, ensuring absolute freshness. The most exciting thing is that you can eat as much as you want, with less than 100 per capita consumption, completely realizing seafood freedom.

The environment of Oyster Hero Store is spacious and bright. If you choose to sit near the window on the second floor, you will find that people are busy downstairs, and you can leisurely enjoy the taste of the "sea" above. It is really a great pleasure in life.

I grew up in an inland city and rarely eat this kind of seafood and other foods, so I always thought that the taste of oysters was too strong and I didn't catch a cold. However, the oysters I ate at the Oyster Hero Buffet Barbecue this time directly refreshed my understanding of oysters. Especially garlic oysters. Wash the fresh and fat oysters and place them on a roasting plate. Bake for 10 to 15 seconds, add the garlic and then bake for 5 to 7 minutes. When large oysters meet the delicate garlic, the juice seeps out little by little as the food temperature rises. After it bubbles, it will almost become ripe. A bite of raw oysters and the aroma of garlic are really delicious.

Golden Shell is a seafood delicacy that I have never tasted. The name is very interesting. The shell that really looks like gold holds the meat, and there are vermicelli and garlic on it. Add it with one chopstick. It's so happy. I can eat a lot of them.

In addition, in the Oyster Hero Self-service Barbecue, you must order a pot of steamed seafood. There are too many things in it, including harbor shellfish and sea red. Are these unheard names? If you want to eat these steaming seafood well, you must first sharpen your utensils. Because these seafood viscera contain bacteria, you must cut off the excess parts with scissors before eating them. In addition to removing internal organs, steamed seafood should also be combined with different bases, dry dishes, seafood soy sauce, and Korean seasonings. Each of the three different seasonings has its own flavor. After eating this and then tasting that, it fully satisfies the taste buds. demand.

Because seafood contains high protein, you must eat it according to your own conditions to prevent gastrointestinal discomfort caused by eating too much high protein. If you feel that you are not full at this time, you can choose to eat something else. It would be good to roast some vegetarian vegetables or pork belly (Recently, the price of Second Brother is so high that you can eat enough here). I really don't want to roast it anymore, so I can also choose to eat the staple food directly, such as fruit clearing, steamed dumplings, and my favorite seafood porridge. There are large shrimps in it, which will warm my mouth and stomach after eating.

I ordered plum wine this time, which is brewed with plums. It melts immediately in the mouth and has a sweet feeling. There is also seafood, ribs, beef, fruits, and desserts. It feels so great to fill a large table and eat as you please!

2. Fisherman, Fish, Cobblestone Fish Hot Pot: Eating delicious food in a retro environment

Chengdu has always been known as the "Land of Abundance". In addition to the comfort and slow pace of local life, there are also diverse delicacies. There are many hot pots. Meal after Meal, you must definitely need something special. This is why we chose the location. Fisherman, fish and pebble fish hot pot on Zhimin Road.

The fisherman's shop has retro decoration, and different varieties of fish are kept in the fish tank at the door. They are eaten and killed now, ensuring the taste of the fish very well. The wall is made of blue bricks, and some white lime is deliberately applied on it to create the effect of old people. The old photos hanging above remind us that we are far away from that era. The coir coat worn by fishermen when fishing hangs in the shop always reminds me of an ancient poem,"People come and go on the river, but they love the beauty of perch. You look at a leaf boat and haunt the storm." It is true that in ancient times, when conditions were not good, it was not easy to make a living on the river.

Since life was hard in the old days, we must live a good life. Although this time we were in a hot pot restaurant that mainly focused on fish, we ordered the recently popular long-legged frog hot pot. Frogs are also called frog. Considering the benefits to the environment, most of what we eat now is farmed. Frogs are also rich in protein, with particularly high phosphorus and calcium content. Traditional Chinese medicine says that it is particularly good for spleen deficiency. Frog is fresh in spring and fragrant in autumn. This season is a good time to eat.

Fisherman's frogs are freshly killed. The bottom of the pot is made of pebbles, and then the beautiful frogs and spices are poured in. The temperature of the pebbles is used to ensure the freshness of the frogs. After serving the classic hot pot soup base, bite it down in one bite. The tender teeth of the frogs are about to melt away, which is very delicious.

The bottom of the red soup pot is slightly spicy, so we must add the specialty snacks in the store. I especially like the steamed orange buns in the fish dumplings. In the small steamer, there is a steamed bun like an orange in it, and the orange skin is dotted with some green fruit stalks. It is delicious and beautiful.

The most interesting thing is the drink. In addition to being delicious, the name is also very interesting. The drinks made in the store are made. The blue one is what I drink is called "Sea and Sky One Color", and the red one is "Berry Flying Color Dance". Take a sip of spicy hot pot pot bottom, take a sip of cool and delicious drink, don't be too happy.

Many people love spicy food, but they are afraid of getting angry. I am the same. So after eating hot pot, I recommend everyone to eat the "lotus root porridge" in the store. Lotus roots are found in many places. They are usually stir-fried or stewed in soup, but they are used to make porridge. To be honest, this is my first time to eat it. chopped lotus roots, put red beans and other ingredients in it and cooked carefully. The porridge tasted delicate and smooth. I want to have another bowl after eating one bowl.

Winter is here, eat a long-legged frog hot pot and have a sip of lotus root porridge. Haha, I hope we can all grow long legs after eating it. It's very comfortable.

3. Chengdu eaters: Come if you are not afraid of spicy food

Before arriving in Chengdu, I had heard about Chengdu diners on a certain voice. When I first entered the store, wow! Sure enough, many people came here because of their fame. I took a photo and clicked a card. The overall decoration of the store is elegant and exquisite. Before I even walked into the store, I already felt a spicy and fragrant smell wafting out. Well, this is the taste of Chengdu.

I usually eat a lot of beef and a lot of boiled meat, but I have never tasted the steamed duck boiled beef from Chengdu diners, so I ordered it because it is still the signature dish here. A ceramic mandarin duck bowl is filled with red peppers on one side and seasonings such as onions on the other side. When preparing, first everything is put in place, and then the waiter sprinkles the oil on the spot. When the cooked hot oil is sprinkled, the aroma comes out immediately. The red soup is spicy and garlic, and the clear soup is a typical non-spicy taste, with the flavor of fried beef with onions. One dish, two bites. It's so novel.

There is also grilled fish fillets with green pepper, which is a dish that I think is very delicious. I took a look and saw that there are one on every table. Looking at the many green peppers, the strange thing is that it is not spicy. It has the fragrance of green peppers, but it is not spicy. There is also lemon to freshen up, which is slightly sour in the spicy taste, which is very appetizing.

Because we ordered the fish, we were also given a free pickled cabbage fish soup. When it was cooked, it was served and cooked freshly on the table. Tomatoes, vermicelli, and cabbage. The base soup is sour and fragrant, which is spicy and delicious.

The staple rice has its own unique characteristics among Chengdu customers. When I served the steamed Konggan rice cooked in Xiaozao, I really thought I might have ordered the wrong one, but when the service staff helped mix it, the aroma overflowed directly. Inside, bacon sausage and potatoes are rich in ingredients, which are delicious and nutritious.

I have eaten fat beef in hot pot and stewed duck tongue, but this is the first time I have eaten it roasted. The roasted beef is tender and tender, and it is served with peppers and other dips. I still want to eat it one bite at a time, but the duck tongue does not seem to have much meat, but it should not be too tender when peeled off. I still want to eat it.

In addition, I also especially like the sugar-oil fruits in the store. The sugar-oil fruits are made of glutinous rice, brown sugar, and sesame seeds. The glutinous rice flour is made into balls, fried in a cooked oil pan, and then wrapped in white sesame brown sugar. In one bite, it has a continuous soft taste and is very delicious. The shape is also very cute. The winding vines are wearing fruits one by one, like a tree in winter with fruits formed on it. Haha... I ate the fruit of a tree today.

It's very good to drink some Sydney juice in winter. It nourishes the lungs. The Sydney juice from Chengdu diners is poured into a retro thermos pot. The waiter will bring it directly to the pot. It's very delicious. I drank several cups in a row.

Chengdu's eaters satisfy my desire to eat food. I can also buy what I eat in the store as snacks. The store has QR codes that can be purchased after scanning them. I also carried a lot of them back to serve as companions for my friends. gift.

4. Roadside: The world of fireworks on the street

The world needs popularity, which is the steaming smoke of fireworks, and on the roadside is a boiling, lively restaurant with strong smoke of fireworks. The retro decoration environment, the small shop painted on the wall, the 28 bicycles parked by the wall, the slogan "One couple only has one child" on the wall, and even the few children painted on the wall who jump on rubber bands make me burst into tears. When did we lose ourselves while growing up? The decoration style here really makes people go back to their childhood in a second.

Hot pot has a history of thousands of years from the Southern Zhou Dynasty to the present, and flourished during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. When Emperor Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty ascended the throne, a "Thousand Old People Banquet" was held, and the number of hot pots used reached 1550, which was shocking. For modern people, eating hot pot is a steaming way to party. In the early years, people started eating hot pot on the roadside. This kind of market-based eating method eliminates the sense of distance between people and people, so today, all of us When friends get together, they always choose hot pot, which feels like getting closer.

I ordered a slightly spicy specialty pot bottom on the roadside. The store would serve it with different dry dishes and dips. It would be very refreshing to eat after rinsing and dipping. Remember certain points of duck intestines. Put them in a pot and take them out. They are crispy and chewy. There is also tripe. Put fresh tripe in the pot and rinse for 9 to 15 seconds. Only when the tripe is taken out will the tripe be crispy and chewy will it taste delicious.

After ordering these, remember to go to the freezer and get your favorite skewers. It's very convenient. In the self-service way, vegetables and meat are neatly stacked in categories, and the varieties are particularly rich. Different from many shops that taste bad and are not very sanitary, the pot bottom and bamboo sticks on the roadside are all disposable and will never be used again. This kind of store is really good. It tastes good and ensures hygiene.

After eating, remember to serve it with a cup of hawthorn juice. It is freshly squeezed. In one bite, it will be sweet and sour, especially like the taste you drank when you were a child.

It is said that the food cannot be let down, and the service in the store cannot be let down. I originally wanted to cook it and eat it casually. On the contrary, the enthusiasm of the boss and service staff dispelled this idea. They have always given me Amway what kind of dipping ingredients to match it. What food is delicious, and I am very enthusiastic.

The roadside gave me the feeling of returning to my childhood and satisfied my appetite. Everything was comfortable and comfortable. I will come again next time.

5. Deji Braised Kebabs (Oak Forest Store): Shake kebabs, drink and talk about life

Last year, a certain video website published a column "A String of Life", which is the Chinese version of "Late Night Canteen". People have gotten rid of their busy life during the day and can finally eat meat and drink in large bowls at night. At this time, a group of friends are together. Chatting together makes life enjoyable and poetic.

Traditional barbecues are night market stalls, where the smoke can't disperse and there is dust everywhere. However, Dili Braised Kebabs (Oak Forest Store) really has no worries in this regard. If you use cans to stew it, you can't see it at all at the door. It's a shop for making kebabs. There is an oven half a person's height in the store. The service staff said that they must maintain continuous roasting at 250 degrees. When the pickled ingredients are put in, they will not be exposed to the open fire. They are healthy and smoke-free, and the stewed taste is even more delicious. No wonder there was no dust at all as soon as we entered the store. A friend joked: We were having a barbecue in a cafe.

In addition to the good environment, the taste is also very good. Deji Barbecue has been selected as a brand on the must-eat list on an Internet for two consecutive years. Before eating the barbecue, remember to have a refreshing cold dish first. What I ordered is QQ fish skin. The cut fish skin is mixed with various seasonings, put red peppers inside, and celery leaves enhance the fragrance. The soon-to-transparent corn looks like crystal jelly under the lamp. It is delicious and beautiful.

The dips in the store should also be mentioned. Different dips, the refreshing appetizing taste of seafood sauce, the strong aftertaste of soybean sauce, and the sweet and sour taste of plum sauce. The "dry dishes" and the "wet dishes" are separated. Different sauces are paired with different ingredients, seafood sauce is paired with vegetarian dishes, plum sauce is paired with pork and chicken, etc., and soybean sauce is paired with mutton and small potatoes. According to these matching methods given by the store, the taste is even more delicious.

In addition to the common things that can be roasted, even cucumbers can be roasted. Cucumbers have a high moisture content and are not easy to be roasted. If they are roasted dry, they will lose the original flavor of cucumbers. If they are roasted for a while, they will not have the flavor of barbecuing. The cucumbers roasted in Deji Barbecue were very delicious, and I ate several skewers in a row.

There are many ways to eat bullfrogs. This is the first time I have eaten the bullfrogs here. It is like a person has reached heaven. The skewer bullfrogs should not taste too tender and complement the white sesame seeds on them. I don't care about losing weight or not. Eat it first.

To make kebabs, you have to make kebabs. Remember to order plum meat. You must order single pieces. Cut the fat and lean meat into pieces. When you take it out, you can see the gravy flowing with oil, and the aroma of oil and meat are mixed together. Start eating directly. The exciting lamb chops are said to be from new Zealand. They are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. When the waiter helps remove the meat, take a bite, it will be chewy and delicious.

Chengdu is a city with rich nightlife. In the barbecue world, beer must have a name. While eating the barbecue, drinking beer in one gulp and burping, it's a great life!

6. Jiyu·Thai seafood hot pot: tom yum soup and desserts are better matched

Hot pot has a long history, and there are several kinds in China alone. Beijing's pork shabu copper pot is tender and smooth; Chaoshan's beef hot pot has juicy meatballs full of tenacity; Yunnan's mushroom hot pot has a rich variety of fungi and delicious fragrance; Sichuan's spicy hot pot has crisp and tender tripe. In Chengdu, if you are tired of eating the local hot pot taste and want to change your taste, then I will definitely recommend Jiyu Thai Seafood Hotpot, Sawadika.

There are two types of signature pot bottoms in Jiyu. This time I ordered the Dongyin pot bottom and found that the taste was very authentic. I asked the waiter and realized that it took several steps to make this pot bottom. First, make ginger, Thai pepper, lemongrass, lemon leaves, mint leaves and other spices into bags and place them for later use. Then put the parsley that has been washed and prepared in advance into the pot, and then add the previously prepared bags. After boiling for a while, add their tom yum base material, and finally pour in coconut juice. Only then will it be considered successful. No wonder the taste of the bottom of the pot is so strong.

Some restaurants, although located in Chengdu, which is famous for its love of spicy hot pot, make the flavor of Southeast Asian hot pot and make it so authentic; some restaurants clearly make Thai seafood hot pot, but the desserts are also so delicious; In some restaurants, the desserts are delicious and beautiful, but there is no limit. Such a perfect restaurant is Jiyu·Thai Seafood Hot Pot.

There are too many things you can eat in Jiyu Restaurant. The exotic flavor of curry shrimp, the delicacy of seafood, and the sweetness of green vegetables. After eating these, you need to have a glass of "cold water"."Cold water" is a drink in Jiyu Restaurant. Don't pack it too nice. It's small, sea blue in an exquisite little bottle, like a perfume. It's so beautiful.

If there are girls present and you don't drink, you can have a special cup of "red pomelo C". The goblet is filled with red pomelo color. A large piece of grapefruit is in it with mint leaves on it, and ice cubes., a mouthful full of vitamin C, delicious and nutritious.

Everyone said that they loved her, so they took her to eat Haagen Dazs. Of course, Haagen Dazs also had in Jiyu. When eating hot pot, I felt that it tasted so strong and had a taste of Haagen Dazs. The sweetness was hard to explain!

In addition to delicious food, the environment is elegant. There are seats for two and parent-child seats where children can take children. The rabbit pudding in the store is definitely what children like. On a white plate, there is a little rabbit lying on the rabbit, vividly depicting the rabbit's timidity vividly. It's perfect for bringing children. If it's not enough, the waiter will take the initiative and ask if you need it? Very sweet.

Inside, I especially like the lava burst pulp pearl cake. When it is served, I can't tell how different it is from ordinary cakes in the store. Ordinary cakes are surrounded by a layer of transparent paper with a bow tied on it, and the outer layer of packaging. Once you remove them, you leave the pulp in an instant. It's very interesting. Take a bite, and the sweet taste melts in your throat. The taste is really amazing.

What opens the coconut shell is mango glutinous rice. Inside the coconut shell is yellow and yellow mango on one side and glutinous glutinous rice on the other side. The glutinous rice combines the flavors of mango and coconut and is very delicious.

If you don't think these are enough, you should have a seafood rice. The rice rice with clear grains and the shrimp can be seen. It has the fresh aroma of seafood. It is delicious and full.

After eating, I walked out of the restaurant, and there were still many diners waiting. Sure enough, the best always had to wait for. I really blew up Jiyu Restaurant!

7. Sichuan Museum: Take you to understand the different Chengdu

To understand a place, it is best to go to a museum, which carries its past, witnesses its present, and will also lead its future.

The new museum of the Sichuan Province, built in 2009, is located in the Huanhuaxi Historical and Cultural Scenic Area in Chengdu City. The area of more than 88 acres has a total of three floors, which are: the first floor of Sichuan Han Dynasty Tao Art Museum and other museums; the second floor of Bronze Pipe, Ceramic Art Museum, Zhang Daqian Art Museum, and Painting and Calligraphy Museum; the third floor is Tibetan Buddhist Cultural Relics Museum, Arts and Crafts Museum, Sichuan National Cultural Relics Museum.

Everything in the museum is for laymen to watch the fun and experts to watch the tricks. What makes me very interesting are some things in the Bronze Museum, such as some antiquities from the Western Zhou Dynasty, such as this container with a narrow mouth, wide shoulders, and a big belly. The flat bottom container with ears. The ears are made of an animal. The ones with a lid are called "Lei"(the pronunciation is the same as "Lei")."The Book of Songs·Zhou Nan·Juan Er" said:"My aunt drinks the golden Lei to protect me from eternal love." This is the container. Thinking about it, many literati and literati in ancient my country couldn't leave wine, and only my country was the one who made it easy to fill wine with such a strong artistic sense.

Everyone's works can follow the trajectory of that person at that time. For example, the Zhang Daqian Art Museum on the second floor of the Sichuan Museum. Zhang Daqian's life has been legendary. He was a bandit, made counterfeit paintings, and became a monk. He was born in Neijiang, Sichuan in 1899. He went to Chongqing at the age of 15. He met bandits on the way and worked as a consultant in a bandit's nest. In 1917, he and his brother Zhang Shanma went to Japan to learn dyeing and weaving. When he was 21 years old, his fiancée passed away and became a monk and took the Buddhist name" Daqian". When he returned home the night before shaving, he held an exhibition of his works when he was 26 years old, and he became famous! After visiting paintings by the ancients, in 1941, he went to Dunhuang to copy murals. I saw Zhang Daqian's paintings at the Sichuan Museum. From the beginning of the paintings of ladies to the later Dunhuang paintings, they all paid great attention to skills. At that time, it was not possible to use compasses on the disc behind the Bodhisattva in Dunhuang paintings, but it was still painted lifelike. It can be seen that the skills are average, and friends who are interested in traditional Chinese painting can go and have a look.

There are many Buddhist statues and implements in the Tibetan Buddhist Museum, and everything has traces to follow. The cultural relics in the Arts and Crafts Museum are exquisite. Shu embroidery, Shu brocade, and snuff bottles are all made of details that make people intoxicated. The blue and white porcelain in the Ceramic Art Museum is still fired during the misty rain such as blue sky. They were all quietly waiting to discover their beautiful eyes.

Museums are the eyes of a place, with everything in them. We are traveling through time and space to have a wonderful meeting with people from ancient times. Cultural relics see through the vicissitudes of the world. I wonder if we can see the vicissitudes of the world through cultural relics.

Tickets: Free tickets, limited to 4000 tickets per day

Address: No. 5 Qinghua Road, Qingyang District, Chengdu City

Opening hours: Every Tuesday to Sunday (the museum is closed on Mondays on national holidays)

Summer: 09:00 to 21:00 (ticket collection stops at 20:00)

8. Jinli: A dreamlike world

"Shu Annals" say that Chengdu has a vast expanse of fertile land."People follow floods and droughts, but they don't know about famine. There are no famine years. The world calls it Tianfu. Before I arrived in Chengdu, Chengdu only existed in my imagination. The keywords such as land of abundance, giant pandas, delicious food, and slow pace were destined to be a fireworks city. However, when I arrived in Jinli, I realized that even if there was a lot of noise outside, it was still literary and artistic.

Jinli is a folk street. Tea houses, inns and stage may inadvertently feel like traveling to Sichuan thousands of years ago. The stage lanterns under the banyan tree are still red and dazzling. When someone is singing above, the performance changes their faces. The shouts below seem to never stop. Many opera fans will probably use the phrase "This song should only be in the sky, and the world can hear it a few times" to describe the play above. On the stage, there are many characters, and below the stage, there are vast crowds of people. The people on the stage are acting out the stories in the script. Do the people off the stage have their own scripts?

The old man holding a cigarette pole by the roadside was probably a real Chengdu native. The busy Jinli had nothing to do with him. He only smoked cigarettes leisurely. He never went to Sichuan when he was young and never left Sichuan when he was old. Judging from his enjoyment, he must be reluctant to leave Chengdu. I have long heard of the optimism and humor of Chengdu people. A tourist was hit by an earthquake and a storm in Chengdu. He was still standing on the street shivering in the early morning. The boy next to him was still chatting on the phone: "Oh, the earthquake still has the whole package!" Looking at the expression of the smoking old man, people know that there are no worries or disputes here. Life has forced people to move forward, so why bother yourself?

Folk culture lies in inheritance. Walking in Jinli, the ancient street in the east is the Wuhou Temple. This side is away from the solemnity and vicissitudes of the Wuhou Temple. The noise and prosperity are the excitement of inheritance. The ancient banyan trees are vicissitudes, and between the light and shadow is Du Fu's "Looking at the red wet place, flowers are heavy in Jinguan City", and "Jincheng has silk pipes growing day by day, half into the river wind and half into the cloud" probably the beauty of Jinli. Only when you arrive will you know it, and I am also looking forward to your arrival here.

Address: Within the First Ring Road of the Central District of Chengdu City, there are direct bus routes 1, 57, 304, 306 and 335

Postscript:

The writer Qi Qunian once wrote such a sentence, whether it is New York, Tokyo, Beijing or Shanghai, you can say, if you love him, take him there, because it is heaven. If you hate him, take him there, because it's hell. But for Chengdu, I think I can only say, take those you love and hate and go there, because there is the world. Chengdu people love to eat and play, and are naturally optimistic. Chengdu is destined to be a city with a strong atmosphere of fireworks. Jinli and museums run through ancient and modern times. This is a city with fresh literature and art. If you can, I also hope you can taste the food here and feel the different flavors of Chengdu.
