After a week of eating in Chongqing, I will tell you how Chongqing people spend their day.

Yesterday Dragonfly arranged something for everyone. Surprise! Some people actually say that Chongqing is not suitable for tourism? , as a result, many people responded that there is nothing to do in Chongqing. Indeed, for most people living in the city, it is not easy to take a vacation, but they end up climbing mountains and hills every day, which is more tiring than going to work.

For people who don’t have a good sense of direction, 5D Chongqing is even more unfriendly. Sometimes they can’t even follow the navigation. The reason why everyone is keen to travel to Chongqing is largely due to its food.

When I went to Chongqing, I couldn’t visit the tourist attractions. What motivated me to go out every day was to look for all kinds of hot and delicious food to make up for my lackluster stay in Hangzhou. So I spent a week in Chongqing with Dragonfly a few days ago. We split up and collected some "food" near Jiefangbei and Guanyinqiao business district for everyone. Friends who are going to Chongqing in the near future can collect them.

A Chongqing native told me that eating hot pot every day is a legend, but eating noodles every day is life. Speaking of Chongqing food, everyone’s first reaction must be hot pot. However, for a noodle lover like me, Chongqing’s noodle restaurants are more attractive to me.

Chongqing people never pay attention to the environment when eating small noodles, so you can see plastic benches lined up in front of popular noodle restaurants in the morning, and people lying on the benches Noodle-eating Chongqing people. A bowl of noodles is the beginning of the day.

Flower market bowl of mixed noodles

Business hours: 7:00-20:30

Address: No. 85, Minsheng Road

There is a Noodle Association in Chongqing. Every year, Chongqing people vote to rank noodle restaurants. This restaurant ranks among the top five noodle restaurants in Chongqing. Because it is located in Yuzhong District, where tourists are concentrated, there are many fake copycat shops opening nearby to make money from tourists. Just look for the fat aunt in a flowery shirt at the door.

I ordered two or two bowls of mixed noodles. Looking at the toppings lined up at the door, I couldn’t help but add a side of beef, which cost 31 yuan a piece. , it’s really not cheap.

The full name of bowl of noodles is peas with mixed sauce. I think the most delicious way is to mix them dry. The peas here are not the kind that are cooked. , each piece is distinct, but the entrance is waxy. The beef was mediocre. It cost four yuan for more than ten yuan. I don’t recommend it.

For noodles in the Sichuan and Chongqing regions, whether it is soup noodles or mixed noodles, the base is at the bottom of the bowl, so it is very important to stir it up before eating the noodles. In a shop like Huashi Wan Zamian, which has a lot of tourists, there is even a special notice telling everyone how to mix it. It can be said that it is well-intentioned.

Gao Pangmei Noodle Shop

Business hours: 7:00-19:30

Address: No. 139, Zhongshan 3rd Road

This store was originally called Fat Girl Noodle Shop. Because there were too many imitators, the word "高" was added. The location of Fat Girl Noodle House is easy to find. It is right in front of Soong Ching Ling's former residence. The dining area is very small and you can basically sit in the open air at the door to eat.

The portions of their noodles are relatively small. It is recommended that you order a small portion to try the same bowl of mixed noodles and beef noodles as I did.

Beef noodles are his signature, and they are divided into two types: ordinary and premium. Ordinary beef is pure sirloin, while premium beef has meat and tendons, and is stewed so soft that it falls apart when picked with chopsticks.

Although it is a noodle soup, there are a lot of condiments at the bottom, so be sure to stir it up before serving. It looks like red oil, but in fact the numbing taste is greater than the spiciness, and the more you eat, the more delicious it becomes. A bowl of noodles will soon be full.

There are two kinds of peas in Chongqing Wan Zamian, one is distinct, and the other is like Pangmei’s, which is completely turned into pea puree. Same status.

I personally prefer the one from Fat Girl’s, because after stirring, the peas can be fully integrated with the noodles, adding to the thick texture of the noodles. The noodles at Fat Girl's are thin noodles, which can hold the condiments better, and the dry-mixed bowl of mixed noodles tastes very delicious.

Thick noodles with less oil is a characteristic of Fat Girl’s family. Basically, a bowl of noodles will be full of oil after eating. If you usually eat light food, it will feel a little greasy. It is recommended. Pair it with a glass of their iced soy milk.

Wangwu Bench Noodles

Business hours:

Address: No. 85 Jiefang West Road, Yuzhong District

It is a very small store with no normal tables. You eat on the high and low benches at the door, one for each person. After ordering, just sit and wait, and the maid will bring the noodles to you.

The specialty of this noodle shop is the Hu spicy shells. Hu spicy shells are made by choking dry red peppers in a pot until they turn black and then crushing them. They look black. Huhu, with a little bitter taste, but those who like it will find it more fragrant than ordinary spicy oil.

I ordered a bowl of vegetarian noodles. The noodles are thicker. When you take a bite, there is a special burnt flavor in the spicy aroma. It is spicy but not dry. It not only enriches the taste but also adds layers of spiciness. It really has a unique flavor.

Everyone says "I have never been to Chongqing" "What are you talking about? Jianghu", it's all about Jianghu, and Chongqing's Jianghu restaurants will definitely have to pull the plug.

Jianghu cuisine appeared in the 1970s and 1980s, and is a more local and folk home-cooked dish. There is no system in cooking methods, it’s basically whatever tastes good. In addition to the old hot pot, Chongqing people’s dinner consists of Jianghu cuisine.

Chunyang Old Tavern (Guanyinqiao Branch)

Business hours: 11:00-14:00 / 17:00-22:00

p>

Address: B1, No. 10, Yancheng Building, No. 4, Jianxin West Road (there are also two branches)

There are many Jianghu restaurants in Chongqing called their own pub. Chunyang Old Tavern is a very authentic Jianghu restaurant with a thirty-year history. The store environment is not too elegant, but it is clean and bright. There is also a "parking guide" carefully posted at the door, indicating that there are not a few local diners coming to eat.

We purchased a meal for two as a group, which was actually just right for three people. This store also has a nine-square set meal on the group purchase, which is suitable for one person.

The group purchase packages are basically signature dishes. Every dish is delicious and can be ordered quickly!

The peppercorn chicken is very tasty. The chicken is fried tender and fragrant. Fresh peppercorns are used. In addition to the numbness, it adds an extra layer of umami flavor and does not feel numb. It would be too abrupt, and friends from out of town would be friendly.

Garlic shrimps are steamed and braised. The shrimps are fresh enough to be seen and eaten. The vermicelli inside is even more delicious. It is served with minced meat and garlic paste. It is no exaggeration to say in the mouth: it is really delicious. It tastes better with rice

The roasted tofu pudding is slightly inferior to the above two dishes, but the taste is not bad after adding bean sprouts and chopped peanuts. Green stir-fried vegetables may be the most indispensable dish for Zhejiang people. After eating heavy dishes, it is really refreshing to eat vegetables.

If it is a tavern, then there must be all kinds of wine in the shop. The homemade fruit wine here is not high in alcohol content and is suitable for girls. There is also sweet-scented osmanthus wine that you can buy home.

Business hours: 11:30-22:00

Address: No. 7, No. 32, Linjiang Branch Road (branch There are a lot of them, 13 in one ***)

Although it is said to be a time-honored Jianghu restaurant, it actually prefers fusion cuisine and is rarely visited by locals. It is a "tourist-friendly" restaurant. . There are also many food stalls from other regions in the store: Inner Mongolian barbecue stalls, folk clay pots, special fried food...

After grabbing some food, there were already many people sitting at the door. There are fewer people queuing up, but I guess there are more tourists. The "head" in Tang suit at the door was very imposing, arranging seats and strategizing. The store has a large space and a nice environment. For "late" diners like us, if we don't want to wait for a table, we can choose to share a round table with other guests.

Dragonfly, Tudou and I ordered four dishes. The large dishes were so large that a round table was even a bit cramped. To be honest, both Tudou and I thought the Jianghu cuisine was so-so, but Dragonfly, a slightly spicy Jiangnanwei, ate it with gusto and thought every dish was delicious.

Spicy chicken is eaten by looking for chicken among the red chili peppers. The chicken skin is more delicious than the diced chicken. The diced chicken has been fried without the chicken flavor, like in Eat oil residue. But among this plate of chili, I think the most delicious thing is the twist, which is spicy, sweet and crispy!

Come here, of course the rabbit will eat it. The rabbit meat of Overlord Rabbit is very fat, but not very fragrant. I don't think it is tasty enough for my heavy taste.

I was a little surprised by the tea-flavored duck and stir-fried vegetables in the set meal for two. It felt like the dishes in Hangzhou private restaurants, not spicy at all, but a little sweet. The tea-flavored duck has no duck smell or greasiness, and the meat is hard and chewy.

In general, Yang Jilong’s reputation is outstanding, probably because there are too many diners from all over the world, and there are many fusions in dishes and tastes. If you want to eat authentic Chongqing Jianghu cuisine, it is not recommended to come here. But for out-of-town friends who don’t like spicy food or are traveling with their parents, Yang Jilong Mansion is very friendly.

After all, it is a time-honored brand, its blind spots are not amazing, but it does not step into the trap

Wuyi Road Yujie Maoxuewang

Business hours: 11:00-21 : 00

Address: No. 264, Wuyi Road

Maoxuewang is known as the originator of Jianghu cuisine. This restaurant specializes in Maoxuewang, not far from Jiefangbei. Wuyi Road. At noon on weekdays, the restaurant is packed even before meal time, and temporary tables and chairs are set up at the entrance for diners to dine.

The dishes are all matched and you cannot choose by yourself. The ordinary ones are ten kinds of vegetarian dishes, and the exquisite ones are ten kinds of meat and ten vegetarian dishes. They are sold according to the size of the portion. I eat it alone. I chose the cheapest regular small portion.

After cooking, it was served in a stainless steel basin as big as a washbasin. The portion was so large that it felt like even three girls couldn't finish it. In terms of taste, it is numb and spicy, which goes very well with rice.

In addition to the basic Xuewang, there are also ham sausages, crispy sausages, hot pot noodles, cabbage, bean skins, potato slices, lotus root slices, kelp, fungus, bean sprouts, Vegetables such as winter melon are very abundant. The vegetables are cooked to a crispy state by default. If you like them cooked, you can ask the boss to cook them for a while.

This is a very inconspicuous little shop on Wuyi Road. The owner is a maid and her signature is cold cakes. Pour the iced cold cake with brown sugar water, and then add a spoonful of soybean noodles. Before eating, you need to wet the bean noodles with brown sugar water and stir it before eating.

His cold cake has a soft and glutinous texture. It is not the QQ bouncy kind, but it is made of pure rice, without adding anything else. It's very close to Sister Yu's Maoxuewang mentioned above. You can pack a portion to eat Maoxuewang, which is very spicy.

Business hours: 8:30-22:30

Address: No. 82-98, Lime City

This store is also a time-honored store in the Jiefangbei business district, on the ramp next to Riyue Square.

Bean curd rice is also a relatively unique food in Sichuan and Chongqing, and bean curd rice is the core of bean curd rice. In Chongqing, tofu pudding is neither salty nor sweet, but eaten with spicy and fragrant dipping water.

In addition to bean curd rice, various steamed and cold dishes are also included in the bean curd rice. Glancing at the menu, vegetarian dishes cost 5 yuan and meat dishes cost 10 yuan. The prices are just like the prices ten years ago. The serving speed is also very fast, because most of the food has already been prepared, so it can be served immediately after ordering.

The taste of cold dishes is quite different. I recommend you try the green pepper preserved egg. The green pepper looks very dry but is actually moist in the mouth, while the preserved egg is a kind of soft-boiled egg. The whole The vegetables are sour and spicy, very refreshing.

Duya Old Hotpot

Business hours: 11:30-22:00

Address: No. 203, Heping Road

There is an old hotpot hidden in the Jiefangbei business district. It is located in a semi-underground corner. The environment is just like a standard fly restaurant. It is shabby. In the summer, there will really be flies surrounding it. That kind of thing, if you mind, proceed with caution.

There is no mandarin duck pot to choose from, and the spiciness of the pot base cannot be chosen. They are all prepared and placed on the table, and the fire starts when people sit down. The taste is indeed that of an old hot pot that gets better and better the more you cook it. The most important thing is that the bottom of the pot is free! The bottom of the pot is free! The bottom of the pot is free!

The dipping sauce is very simple, just minced garlic and oil, without cilantro or chives. If you don’t like spicy food, I suggest you have half a bowl of egg fried rice as a base before eating.

Homemade luncheon meat is highly recommended. I can eat one portion by myself. The large meat particles are visible to the naked eye, not the kind of luncheon meat that is full of starch.

If you can tolerate spicy food, you can’t miss the spicy beef. Don’t put it in the oil dish after boiling it. It’s best to eat it directly, it’s numb and spicy.

Others, such as smoldering pork sausage, smooth pork slices, and braised quail eggs, are also signature dishes. The portions are not large, so you can order them all.

Nan Hotpot (chain)

This is a relatively clean old hotpot in Chongqing, especially the new store opened at the back, which has a retro and nostalgic style , the environment is much better than the fly house.

You can see large chunks of butter at the bottom of the pot. This is also one of his main selling points. Five pounds of butter is a portion of the bottom of the pot, which is not boiled yet. It smells very good.

Be sure to order the chicken feet. The chicken feet have been braised and are relatively soft. They are then blanched in a pot. They are spicy and flavorful and melt in your mouth.

The braised pork sausage is also a must-try. It is very chewy. As soon as you put it in your mouth, the aroma of butter, brine and pork sausage explodes in your mouth. I like it.

Although Nan Hot Pot has changed from a small shop to a popular hot pot in Chongqing in recent years and has opened many branches, there is one thing to say, the taste is still guaranteed, everyone You can choose to dine nearby, there is no need to go to those old restaurants.

The family looks shabby, but is a bit sophisticated Jianghu Restaurant, this restaurant is Tudou Assistant’s favorite in Chongqing and is only open at night. It's very easy to miss when passing by. Don't doubt the path under your feet, just keep walking.

The environment in the store is really casual, it was converted from a residential building, but the posters on the wall are very cute, giving it a contradictory aesthetic unique to Chongqing.

There are basically no tourists in this store. It is a fly restaurant that locals love to eat. Friends who are not afraid of spicy food can come and try it.

The fruit wine is 15 yuan a bottle. Come and have a meal. One pot per person is required. I ordered the passion fruit flavor, which is rich in fruit flavor and light in wine flavor. I poured it into a mini cup and sipped it in sips. It was delicious.

Because I came to eat alone, I didn’t order big dishes like chopped pepper hoof flowers and spicy palm treasure. But I took a peek at the big dishes on the next table, and they looked really good.

The crispy oyster mushrooms I ordered were wrapped in batter and fried very fragrant. I couldn’t taste the mushroom flavor, but it felt like eating meat. It was a delicious fried food. .

The pork tenderloin with sesame seeds is stir-fried with dried tofu. The tenderloin is thick, the dried tofu is chewy, and the spiciness is very high. I was sweating profusely after eating it.

It was too spicy, so I ordered a coconut milk sago filling. The coconut milk filling has a really strong milky flavor, without any flavor, and is sweet and mellow. Coconut taste.

Feng BBQ

Business hours: 17:00-3:00 am

Address: No. 1, No. 98, Kaixuan Road

It was rated as the best barbecue restaurant in the Jiefangbei business district. When it was time to eat, the roadside was full, and the store had to open another store across the road.

The characteristic of Chongqing barbecue is that after it is grilled, it needs to be cut into pieces with scissors and then mixed with seasonings. However, my friends in Chongqing told me that you must not cut the skin and tofu skin when grilling. , to be eaten on skewers.

You must order the grilled crucian carp. The whole crucian carp is covered with kimchi particles. The fish is grilled so tender that you can poke it open with chopsticks. There is also a lot of seasoning stuffed in the belly, which is very delicious.

There are twenty skewers of beef in a handful. The beef is very tender and delicious when roasted. However, it shrinks seriously after roasting. There is only a little bit of meat in each skewer. Not satisfying.

Their roast duck intestines and brains are specialties. If you like food, you can try it.

There was a shop selling ice powder, cold shrimp and other ice drinks at the door. I bought a cup of mung bean paste, but the lady boss kept saying that there was not enough sugar in it, so it might not be good. drink. I bought a cup and tried it and it was quite delicious. It is the kind of "not very sweet" mung bean paste that modern young people like. I recommend everyone to have a cup when eating barbecue.

Huang’s BBQ

Business hours: 18:00-2:00

Address: No. 5, Songshi 1st Lane

The barbecue stall recommended by a friend in Chongqing is near Huayuan Station on Line 6. Although it is quite far away from Jiefangbei, Guanyin Bridge and other places, it is indeed an atypical Chongqing barbecue worth making a special trip to check out.

All of their tinfoil bowl series are delicious, with similar tastes, with kimchi particles and pickled peppers added, making them sour, spicy, fresh, fragrant, and numb. . The pickled pepper fish is highly recommended here. The fish is very large, with more meat and fewer spines. It is quite enjoyable to eat.

Brown sugar glutinous rice cake is also a rather magical way to eat. I have never seen it elsewhere. It should be the only sweet barbecue in Chongqing. It is burnt on the outside and waxy on the inside. Sprinkled with soybean noodles, delicious.

Potato powder is also a unique way to eat in Chongqing barbecue. It is actually baked in a tin foil bowl. It is very delicious and spicy. It is recommended to order it. Just slightly spicy is fine.

For other regular skewers, just order them according to your personal preference. Anyway, they are quite delicious.

To make it easier for everyone to find food, most of the shops recommended today are close to Jiefangbei and other business districts.

There are really too many delicacies in Chongqing, and I haven’t had time to explore more delicacies (also because Chengdu girls who have stayed in Hangzhou for a long time are a little bit unbearable) . Friendly reminder to friends who cannot eat spicy food to bring gastrointestinal medicine and always say "slightly spicy, thank you".

If you are a Chongqing Zai'er, please leave us a message in the comment area. You will definitely take your friends from other places to eat delicious food.
