"Ladder" is the staircase, which is an inevitable hurdle for Chongqing people living in the mountain city to travel every day. The old store of Tikaner Tavern is located in a bungalow on Jianxin East Road, because the entrance is lower than the road surface, you need to enter the store through a short flight of stairs, hence the name. Judging from the name, Tikaner is positioned as a tavern, but like many taverns in Chongqing, it sells wine and food at the same time, and the products are also characterized by "spicy and fragrant", so it is also a Jianghu restaurant for many tourists to check in.

The inspiration for the creation of Titchaer came from a trip to Nepal between the two partners, so the environment of the store also has a strong Nepali atmosphere. Exotic dark red frescoes, beige cushions and knick-knacks of various shapes are in harmony with the old environment. The area of the store is small, and it even looks cramped when there are many people. The old wooden tables and chairs, as well as the blue and white floor tiles, have the taste of Hong Kong films in the 90s; Large and small wine tanks are placed in the corners of the wall, and they have the uninhibited and uninhibited spirit of a Chongqing tavern. Guests sit around a square wooden table, drinking wine and eating meat in large bowls.

Due to the wine as a selling point, Tikaner's menu is mostly appetizers, but this does not mean that its products are discounted. Take the signature chopped pepper hoof flower as an example, this classic dish is a slow-cooked pork trotter with cooking wine, ginger and rock sugar, with local taro on the bottom and homemade chopped pepper and green onion on the top. After several hours of steaming, the pig's trotters are soft and rotten, and the spicy flavor of green and red peppers is integrated into the fat of the pig's trotters, which removes the oiliness and enhances the flavor. The spicy palm treasure is also a must-order at every table. Compared with chopped pepper hoof flowers, the spiciness of this dish is more present in the later section. The crisp texture of the chicken cartilage makes people can't help but eat a few in a row, and then the spicy strength of the dried pepper rushes to the back of the head, causing me to sweat profusely, so I have to pick up the wine bowl and drink wine to relieve the spiciness.

As a tavern, Tikaner naturally has a lot of wine. The Dongba wine brought back from Nepal has a unique smell that is rarely seen elsewhere. This mulled sake is made by fermenting corn in a bamboo tube, followed by a mixture of hot water and hot cola. The entrance is warm, there is almost no alcohol, only a mellow grain aroma; Although the corn has a cloudy dark red appearance due to precipitation, the taste is very pure, and it is refreshing to drink in winter and remove the cold. In addition to Dongba wine, the store also offers hawthorn, rose, passion fruit and other fruit wines, a pot of about two to three taels, sweet and sour

Tikaner and Chunyang are both popular Chongqing taverns. However, in terms of the production of dishes, Tikaner has more bold and warm charm of Jianghu cuisine, and the price is more affordable to the people. Many diners have reported that the location of the old restaurant is difficult to find, so it is recommended to find Daxing Village Station first, then walk 50 meters in the direction of Guanyin Bridge, and go down the stairs at a shabby white cloth with the name of the store written on it.
