Niuhua Bapo Malatang (Chunxi Branch)
On the streets of Chengdu, there are countless hotpot skewer shops. Now, we recommend Niuhua Bapo Malatang, which was established in 1988. Its taste is undoubtedly authentic and is loved by all local friends in Chengdu. Eating malatang in winter feels very comforting. You should first order their specialty dishes and then dip them in the broth to whet your appetite. Fried skewers are a must-try, with beef and pork belly each having their unique flavors. They are particularly fragrant and not greasy at all. If you can't get enough, you can dip them in dry chili powder. White flowers and crispy meat are also must-orders. The more you eat, the fuller you feel, leaving you completely satisfied.
San Bu Bai Cold Pot Skewers
The name of this restaurant is quite interesting. 'San Bu Bai' means 'not serving if the ingredients are not fresh, not serving if the taste is not good, and not boasting about itself.' This means the ingredients are guaranteed to be fresh every day, and the taste is guaranteed to be the most authentic old Chengdu flavor. They never boast about themselves and let their strength speak. All the dishes here are very good, and each one will make your mouth water.
Old Place Fried Skewers
This shop looks very ordinary, but the taste will absolutely shock you. Every day, many people come here because no matter where you are in Chengdu, food lovers will seek it out. Originating from Leshan, fried skewers are a new trend in the skewer world. Trying a different way of eating, you'll find that one stomach is simply not enough.
Chuan Yu No.1
The signature dish of the restaurant is the Love Spicy Chicken, which is also one of the most beloved Sichuan dishes among Chengdu locals. The name itself is a favorite, and the dish lives up to it. The chicken is cut into small pieces and stir-fried with hot peppers and Sichuan peppercorns over high heat, resulting in a numbing and spicy flavor that is absolutely authentic.
