CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- In Chongqing, a paradise of fine food, there is such a strange place called “till the end of the community”. As the name suggests, it hides in the deep enough and unexpectedly area, but makes the local taste of Chongqing.

Savvy foodies never mind the strange locations of communities, because the communities mean the qualifications, fair price and lively atmosphere.

The northeast barbecue near the Fusion City is very popular among the customers nearby. Different from the Chongqing-style grilled food that is cut into pieces and then mixed with spices, northeast-style grilled food is served with the sticks.

The grilled streaky pork in honey sauce has a special burned smell, and the spicy and hot fried potato slices are crispier like snacks. Of course, it also offers Harbin red sausage and northeast dumplings. If you are bold enough, you can also challenge the grilled cicada pupae.

Address: Fusion City Langfeng in Rongjing Road, 290m from the Liyuchi Station Exit 3A of Line 10

Opening time: from 17:30

Paniuyou (Zhigang Avenue Store)

It hides in a branch road of Zhigang Avenue in Yangjiaping. You may never know this special store without the guidance of an acquaintance. It is a small street alley, but has the most authentic taste of old Chongqing. It is located on the second floor of a simple building in an old community, surrounded by residential buildings constructed in the 1950s and 1960s.

The beef tallow of hot pit boiling in the old iron kettle gives off the aroma of food. The base soup is moderately spicy, neither too hot nor too mild.

Its flagship dishes include stewed beef, pig’s large intestines and tendons of beef. The broth absorbed by the beef makes you experience the flavor ‘explode’ in your mouth. The tendons are tender, pliable and smooth, while the intestines are soft.

Address: beside the fruit stand of Minzhuercun Vegetable Market in Zhigang Avenue

Opening time: 11:00-14:00; 17:00-23:00

Xuyao Dry Chili Pepper Chaoshou

The chaoshou is large in size, and there are 8 chaoshou in one-liang (50g) serving. The shrimp chaoshou has an entire shelled shrimp. The chaoshou mixed with dry chili pepper and chopped green onion is delicious. The chicken soup with Tricholoma matsutake is also tasty with the radish pickle.
