If the reason to travel to China is food, then Chinese cities offer the best mixture of flavors to soothe the tongue of a foodie.UNESCO, in 2010,announced Chengdu (southwest China) “City of Gastronomy”.

The strong sesame and cilantro flavors with a slimy and crunchy texture at the same time make it an aperitive dish.The super unique dish comprises of boiled freshwater fish skin mixed into a salad bowl full of soy sauce, onions, cilantro and ginger sprinkled with sesame seeds and peanuts.
Cheung Fen, juicy and ‘die for’ platter, is a filling of seasoned beef, pork, or shrimp in a gooey rice flour water pouch served with soy sauce. The dish is steamed and peeled off from cheesecloth. It is a simple and filling dish that is so hard not to like!
Ever thought food without chicken? Absolutely NO! A silky smooth Baiqieji Chicken salver is going to be the first choice of a gourmet. Best with some side dishes like fried rice noodles and beef or a tray of sweet red date spare ribs, this whole chicken is boiled in seasoned water to give the skin a nice and firm texture. Try it with garlic onion sauce.
The old is gold. A classical dish is next level heaven. Found on nearly every street corner of China, the roasted fatty honey BBQ pork aka Cha Shao, dripping with goo, costs only 6.59 USD. It’s a combination of fatty and lean, sweet and barbeque, crispy and soft All In One!
