飧 (sῡn), which means dinner, also refers to cooked food, and if you want to ask for directions, you must follow the misreading of "Pancan City" by Chengdu people.
Opened in 1925, the restaurant is the originator of pickled and marinated side dishes in Chengdu, and it is an out-and-out time-honored brand. What used to be a small shop is now a three-storey restaurant. There is a take-out window at the door, and if it is a traditional Chinese festival, the queue to buy braised vegetables can be more than ten meters, and the sales of dishes in the restaurant will also double or triple.
The lo-mei products in Panfang City are not spicy, and the aroma of the brine is more prominent. The characteristics are also outstanding, not only the spicy taste of Sichuan marinade, but also the aroma of sauce, wax and wine of Cantonese lo-mei. In order to ensure the taste, no frozen raw materials are used, and the livestock are not more than 8 hours from slaughter to use, and the perishable food of soy products and eggs is marinated in separate pots.
Braised pig's trotters, braised pork belly, braised pig's tail, sauced duck tongue, braised pork ribs, crispy rabbit, etc. are all remarkable dishes in Panfang City. Braised pork trotters are a must-order dish here, the marinade is fragrant, and it can be dipped in the mixed sea pepper noodles, which is suitable for chopping and adding vegetables or wine.
The braised pork pot helmet is even more affordable and delicious. In 1992, this snack was awarded the title of "Chengdu Famous Snack" at the Chengdu Food Festival, and in 2010, it was included in the third batch of municipal food intangible cultural heritage list of Chengdu. The braised pork in the pot helmet is fat and thin, the sauce is plump, the marinade is full of flavor, and the clerk will also add a spoonful of marinade to you, sandwiched in the white noodle pot helmet to eat, delicious and full.
The interior of the restaurant is relatively simple, but there are also private rooms. There are a total of 13 private rooms, the largest of which can accommodate 14-16 people, all of which are subject to a private room fee and need to be booked in advance. It is worth mentioning that Panfeng City has opened a small lo-mei shop at No. 151 Shuangjian Road (the intersection of West China Middle School), and customers in the vicinity can buy it directly without having to go to the head office.
