Lime City Plum Skewers
Li Chuanchuan is a very mysterious existence in Chongqing, and is considered by Chongqing people to be the most authentic Li Chuanquan, but in fact, there is only the "Li Chuanchuan Old Store" of the Liberation Monument, and the brand of this shop in Guanyinqiao is actually "Lime City Li", although there is a suspicion of "Li Ghost", but it is still acceptable in the production of dishes. This restaurant only serves a butter pot base, which is slightly spicy by default, and the spicinessness is also more friendly to diners outside of Sichuan and Chongqing. The base of the butter pot is best paired with beef dishes, such as spicy beef, spiced beef, coriander beef, celery beef, etc. The store's signature beef liver is cut into thin slices, wrapped in a layer of sweet potato powder on the surface, and blanched for 15 seconds before you can eat. Another classic dish is the tender pork slices, which are smooth and tender, not dry or woody, and the more you cook them, the more flavorful they become. It should be noted that this shop is very popular, and there are often cases where you have to wait for more than two hours.
Furious 80 full beef skewers
The use of design elements such as enamel bowls, neon lights, white-tiled dining tables, and a background wall with slogans in the Chongqing dialect has left a deep impression on many diners when it first appears. The bottom of the pot is divided into butter and mandarin duck, and the former has four levels of spiciness, which are slightly spicy, slightly spicy, medium spicy, and extra spicy. Most Chongqing skewers restaurants use beef skewers as their main dish, and Furious 80 is no exception, but in addition to beef, Furious 80 also offers a lot of skewers made from other parts of the cow's body, and beef tripe and beef scalp are two of the more popular. The beef belly is crispy and tender, chewy, and the longer it is cooked, the softer and glutinous the taste becomes.
Hungry wolf skewers say beef skewers
Most late-night snack restaurants in Chongqing give diners the impression of "fly restaurants", but this is not the case with the legend of the hungry wolf. It not only widens the gap between the dining tables, divides them, and improves the privacy and comfort of dining, but also sets up a clear stall where all ingredients are cut and worn. Hungry Wolf Skewers is famous for its rich variety of beef skewers, and will launch new dishes from time to time, with spicy diced beef, coriander beef and cumin beef having the highest order rate, which is worth noting. It is worth mentioning that the hungry wolf skewers say that they have prepared skewers without chili peppers for those who are not spicy, and cordyceps flower beef is one of them. Cordyceps flower beef is suitable for boiling in a clear soup, the beef is not marinated in spices, the emphasis is on highlighting the original flavor of the beef, and the pairing with the cordyceps flower also adds a sweetness to the taste. Legend of the Hungry Wolf uses a cold meat cabinet to hold dishes, and each type of dish is packed separately on a separate plate and placed neatly to make all the ingredients fresh and clean.
Mr. Drunk Bar
In Chongqing's burgeoning cocktail/whisky bar market, local aficionados tend to be limited to a handful of established bars, and Mr. Zui is one of them. Its decoration is mainly calm and quiet. The wooden wine cabinet and leather sofa are more textured under the dim yellow light; Behind the long bar, several bartenders methodically prepare drinks for guests. Mr. Drunk offers 20 contemporary classic cocktails and more than a dozen of his own creations. The number is not too much, but the advantage lies in the stability of the production, whether it is a classic model such as Zombie and Dry Martini or a self-created model such as Mr. Xu and King Kong Barbie, the acidity, sweetness, flavor, and aftertaste are stable, and the taste is balanced. Mr. Drunk's service is very considerate. After the guests entered, the waiter in a suit took the initiative to lead the seat, delivered snacks and a wine list, and introduced the drinks to the guests in a cordial and polite manner.
