Egg baked cake

Egg cake is the most popular nostalgic snack in Chengdu on the Internet. Its main ingredients are eggs, flour, sugar and baking soda, and it is cooked in a non-stick pan (without oil). Egg baked cakes, no matter the recipe or the method, are not like traditional Sichuan snacks, but like foreign products. If you're looking for a close relative, it's probably more like a French crepe.

The crust of the egg cake tastes faint with a custard flavor, and the taste is mediocre compared to the dazzling Western-style dessert shops. But the stuffing has been eaten by Chengdu people to a new level, Lao Gan Ma, cold pork ears, sour cowpeas, and spicy beef are all used as fillings, and Chengdu's mix and match is simply heartbreaking. Egg cake merchants are largely in the business of tourists, but they don't care about whether foreign tourists can accept it, and these strange combinations are more stimulating for young people to consume, regardless of the taste, which at least gives a glimpse of Chengdu's tolerance for food.

Diners who don't want to take risks can choose salads, cheeses, creams, jams, etc., with crispy skin and soft and smooth middle.
