The rundown little shops in Chengdu I take every partner to!

1️⃣ Hu Ji Snacks: Hidden in a demolition shed, their sweet water noodles are authentic! Only 8 yuan! 2️⃣ Mama's Pig's Trotters: Any trotter place in Chengdu is delicious – they're stewed until super tender! 3️⃣ Longhu Renjia Chuanchuanxiang (Chunxi Road branch): Must-try skewers in Chengdu! Their pickled veggie beef and garlic sugar beef are legendary! 4️⃣ Yulin Scissor-Cut Potatoes: Yulin Market is a must-visit! Full of affordable yet delicious street food! 5️⃣ Lotus Pond Pocket Cold Noodles: Grandpa's stall serves massive portions with free soy milk! 6️⃣ Four Tables·Jianghu Cuisine·Crayfish: Chengdu's #1 crayfish lives up to its reputation – huge and fresh! Their river prawns and Jianghu dishes are amazing too! 7️⃣ Maoji Heyi: Personally think it's Chengdu's top maocai! Spicy but fragrant, not overly heavy. 8️⃣ Tianxing Zhengyuan Hotpot (Haijiao City branch): Premium quality! Fresh tripe, duck intestines, and kidney slices you can taste the freshness! 9️⃣ Auntie Huang's Sweet & Spicy: Deep-fried goodies dipped in secret sweet-spicy sauce, only 20-30 yuan per person – been eating here since childhood! #Chengdu #ChengduFood #HotpotSkewers #Crayfish #StreetFood #BudgetEats #LocalRecommendations
