Pan Liu Niang

The pork ribs were too meaty. The noodles were also chewy and smooth, and the soup tasted similar to the seafood noodles in old Chengdu.

This Chengdu native went to Leshan again this weekend! Grab this weekend food guide – you can reach Leshan from Chengdu in just 1 hour and start indulging in delicious food! 【Wu Shi Fang Qiaojiao Beef】 Arrived in Leshan at noon and headed straight to Wu Shi Fang in Suji Ancient Town. We've eaten here many times; the taste and ingredients are always good, so we love it. We recommend the yin-yang pot – the clear broth is incredibly flavorful, and we usually drink the broth while cooking vegetables in it, while the spicy broth is used for hot pot. The freshly sliced ​​beef cooks in just a few seconds in the pot; the beef wontons soak up the broth perfectly in the spicy broth, making them incredibly delicious! The beef guokui (a type of flatbread) is also a must-order – crispy on the outside, with a slightly peppery beef filling, it's best eaten fresh out of the pot. 【Pan Liu Niang Rib Noodles】 You can eat here in the morning. The ribs are stewed until tender, and although it's in a clear broth, the flavor is still excellent. The noodles are chewy and the soup is very warming; friends from Chengdu say it's even better than the noodles in Chengdu itself. 【Li Shuang Pig Brain Noodles】 If you love pig brain and carbs, don't miss this place. The pig brain is tender and well-prepared, and the noodles are flavorful. A satisfying treat for a weekend. 【Xu Liang Gao】 The liang gao (cold rice cake) is smooth and tender, with a sweet but not cloying brown sugar flavor. It's refreshingly cool and perfect for ending a weekend of food and exploration. Leshan is truly amazing for a weekend getaway around Chengdu! From hot pot at Wushifang to street food, two days were spent sampling all the delicious food in Leshan. It was relaxing and enjoyable. Chengdu friends, plan your weekend trip now! #LeshanFood #ChengduAroundTrip #WushifangQiaojiaoBeef #LeshanTourism #LeshanQiaojiaoBeef #SichuanTourism #LeshanTravelGuide #SujiAncientTown #LeshanCheckIn #LeshanFoodExploration

The spicy, fresh, and fragrant flavors of Leshan can be found in small shops tucked away in the streets and alleys. Leshan, this underrated culinary capital, is Sichuan's true culinary paradise! Often considered the "back kitchen" of Chengdu, Leshan hides countless authentic delicacies that will evoke longings. Every time I take friends to Leshan, they marvel at the diverse and deeply rooted culinary scene. 🍜 Breakfast Must-Try: Embark on a Taste Journey Pan Liu Niang Pork Rib Noodles is a perfect breakfast choice in Leshan. The ribs are tender, the noodles are chewy, and the authentic broth makes it a delightful clear noodle soup, even for Sichuanese enthusiasts who can't live without spicy food! A bowl in the morning warms both the heart and the stomach. Jiazhou Haihuiyuan Lao Shaomai Restaurant is a time-honored establishment that Leshan locals flock to for their favorite dishes. Their freshly made and steamed shaomai are glutinous, with a fragrant, tender skin and a fresh, meaty flavor. Five shaomai are only 6 yuan, offering excellent value at a reasonable price. Don't forget to dip them in their secret sauce; every bite is incredibly satisfying! 🍰 Mid-morning snack: Double the joy with a sweet and savory combination The Emei Guoba steamed buns are a must-try. The buns are sweet and have a hint of fermentation, while the rice crust underneath is crispy and sweet. The moment the maid peels off the rice crust, it's filled with the aroma of home and is incredibly comforting to watch. Sifang dried tofu is a Leshan specialty. They're filled with homemade pickled radish and sprinkled with sugar, chili oil, and soybean powder. The flavor is spicy and sour with a hint of sweetness. I recommend buying a bunch for two to try. Lei Siniang's egg cakes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, offering a variety of flavors. I recommend the classic creamy pork floss flavor, which is generously filled. The crispy exterior and tender interior, combined with the various fillings, are hard to miss! 🍚 Lunch Hardcore: A Leshan Signature Must-Try Saiziwei Bobo Chicken (Note: Search results do not provide specific information for this restaurant; visitors are advised to use local navigation or ask locals for location confirmation) is the epitome of Leshan's spicy, fresh, and fragrant cuisine. Leshan's unique "qiaojiao beef" is a must-try. We recommend Feng Si Niang's "qiaojiao beef," featuring fresh ingredients and a superb flavor. The blanched beef and offal dipped in a special dry sauce doubles the delight. It can be both light and spicy, and the broth is rich and filling. 🍡 Afternoon Tea Time: A refreshing snack to last a lifetime Deaf-Mute Uncle's Candied Haws, located in Zhanggongqiao Food Street, specializes in handmade candied haws. Once the sugar in the pot bubbles and turns amber, the uncle expertly coats a skewer of hawthorns with sugar. He then rapidly spins the syrup-coated hawthorns in his hands, drawing them into threads in a split second. The lace-like sugar threads entwine the hawthorns, creating a beautiful and delicious experience. The candied strawberries sold by the uncle are also a must-try. They're 10 yuan a bunch, and the strawberries are large, covered in crispy sugar shreds, sweet but not cloying. Chuan Mei'er ice jelly or Ju Po Po's soft ice cream are perfect for relieving the spiciness and greasiness. Chuan Mei'er's ice jelly has a generous amount of ingredients, and is very substantial. The brown sugar is Leshan's specialty, cast-in-the-mold brown sugar. 🍲 Dinner Special: A perfect end to your carb binge Mrs. Ji's sweet-skinned duck (Note: Search results don't provide specific information for this restaurant; visitors are advised to use local directions or ask locals for location confirmation). The skin is crispy yet melts in your mouth, and the meat is tender and not overly sweet, making it a popular choice for everyone. Leshan's tofu pudding is also unique. The Jiujiu tofu pudding has a rich, flavorful broth that's incredibly satisfying. Pairing it with beef, pig intestines, or shredded chicken is the perfect icing on the cake! The red bean curd egg pudding is especially worth trying. The sesame seeds soak up the broth while retaining their crisp texture. 🌃 Late-night Snack: Light up the night with an open-fire grill Yingzi fried skewers and other deep-fried dishes are the perfect late-night snack in Leshan. Crispy pork belly, tender beef, crispy potato slices, and chewy baby back bones... crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, each bite sizzling with oil. Leshan fried skewers are affordable, featuring pork belly, palm treasures, corn kernels... fried to a crisp and sprinkled with chili powder, making them the perfect late-night snack. 💡 Leshan Food Tips 1.
