Many incense sticks have designed their shops in a nostalgic style to attract attention, and the most successful example of this is the side of the road. Whenever you walk into the side of the road, it is like traveling back to the 90s, the 3D wall painting restores the life scene of 30 years ago, old movie posters and red slogans can be seen everywhere, the doors and windows of the commissary are hung with common childhood snacks such as jumping candy, plum candy, and Mai Lisu, the tables and chairs are all painted blue, an antimony pot is placed on each table, and even the dishes are made of bamboo dustpans.

The unique decoration style is not the main factor in the popularity of the roadside, but the taste is the reason why many diners choose it. There are only two options on the side of the road: classic pot base and traditional pot base. The base of the classic pot is made with clear oil, which is more fragrant and less spicy than the traditional pot base, and the dipping method is to add the original soup to a dry dish mixed with peanuts, soybeans and chili powder, and after stirring well, diners can add other seasonings according to taste. The traditional base of the pot is butter, which has a strong spicy flavor and is suitable for diners with heavy tastes.

Skewers and dishes are the most common types of dishes in the skewer incense shop, but on the side of the road, you can't miss the steamed dishes. Brain flower is a popular dish in Mao Cai. The processing of the brain flower is a fine job, in this regard, the side of the road is done well, the brain flower has no fishy smell and blood, and the taste is dense and soft. The rabbit loin is the best choice for those with heavy tastes, the outer layer of the rabbit loin is covered with homemade chili noodles, which is full of dry and fragrant, and the rabbit loin is tender and flavorful, with strong spicy flavor and stamina.

Although it is said to be a skewer incense shop on the side of the road, it is not satisfactory in terms of skewers. Tender beef is the signature on the side of the road, the beef is hand-pickled, the portion is not much, and the taste is not as good as the tender pork slices of Li skewers and the ginger tender beef of Xiu Xiao skewers. In contrast, the county liver in the store is one of the few highlights, and it uses raw materials to make pigeon county liver, which has a crisp and chewy taste. Unfortunately, the county liver stock is often insufficient, and sometimes it sells out before the peak of the evening meal.

The side of the road is from Chengdu and has opened stores all over the country. The quality of the franchise stores varies, and in terms of environment, service and taste, the Chongqing store is slightly inferior to the Chengdu store. Restaurants often need to wait for a table, and diners can make an appointment through the WeChat official account.
