As soon as these fermented bean curd chicken wings arrive, the aroma hits your nose! The skin is grilled to a gleaming shine, then crispy and tender. The salty aroma of fermented bean curd, combined with the gravy, wafts through your mouth, soaking up the flavor even between the bones. The best way to enjoy them is to just bite them with your hands, skipping chopsticks. You'll have to wipe the sauce off your fingers afterward, and then stare at the plate wondering, "Why didn't you grill a couple more?"
When you eat steamed pork with rice flour outside, it's either just steamed pork or just steamed pork ribs with rice flour. It's unlike making it at home, where you can add whatever you want! My portion includes steamed pork with rice flour, pork ribs, and pork belly. The pork belly's soft, glutinous skin, coated in rice flour, melts in your mouth. For a savory bite, try the pork ribs, where the spiciness of the bones is infused with the flavor of spices. For a leaner dish, try the pork belly, which is firm, flavorful, and not too dry. It perfectly captures all the flavors. And since it's homemade, the seasoning is generous, and the flavor comes purely from the ingredients and the care put into making it. If you like spicy food, add chili powder for a satisfying flavor. Every bite is satisfying, and it's much more satisfying than the monotonous portions you get out there! Speaking of Sichuan and Chongqing steamed pork with rice flour, it's a favorite dish of the locals. When dining at a restaurant in Sichuan and Chongqing, the first thing you'll hear as you enter is, "Boss, give me some steamed pork with rice flour. I want the delicious kind!" Steamed pork with rice flour is a favorite in Sichuan and Chongqing. Just like Chongqing residents can't live without hot pot and Chengdu residents can't live without teahouses, it's an essential dish on every household's dining table. It's even a must-have during festivals.
Sichuan and Chongqing's salty shaobai (rice shao) is a melt-in-your-mouth pork belly. The fatty, glutinous pork belly is not greasy at all, while the lean pork belly is perfectly flavorful. The chopped bean sprouts are salty and fragrant, with a crisp and flavorful chew. Mixed with the pork belly, the combination of salty and sweet flavors is so fragrant it's almost intoxicating! In Sichuan and Chongqing, this dish is a common dish at banquets and restaurants. I, a meat-averse person, saw this shaobai (rice shao) at my grandmother's house and tried a piece. My eyes widened, and I devoured the entire plate! Since then, I've become a true meat-eater. Every time I go back to my grandmother's house, the first thing I shout is, "I want shaobai!"
The freshly cooked Indian curry chicken is a feast for the eyes! The thick golden curry sauce wraps each piece of tender chicken. As soon as the aroma of spices floats into the nose, you can smell the warmth of turmeric and the spiciness of cumin swirling in the air. Gently poke it with a spoon, the chicken is stewed soft and tender, and when you take a bite, the gravy mixed with curry bursts in your mouth - the soft fragrance brought by the Indian curry masala flavor, the fresh and spicy slowly rises, leaving a slight sweet aftertaste, and the carrots and onions become extremely tasty. The thick curry sauce is poured on the hot rice, and each grain of rice is wrapped in a golden coat. When you take a bite, the layers of spices unfold on the tip of the tongue, and the warmth irons from the stomach to the heart. After eating, you can't help but smell the curry fragrance on your fingers a few more times~

Braised pork trotters with preserved plums is a classic Cantonese dish that makes your mouth water just looking at it! The pork trotters are stewed until they're incredibly tender and fall off the bone easily, with a slightly chewy skin that bursts with juice when you bite into them. The sweet and sour flavor of the preserved plums perfectly balances the richness of the meat. Each piece is coated in a thick sauce, savory with a refreshing aftertaste, making it not greasy at all. You'll want to suck every last bit off the bone! It's perfect with rice or as a snack. My family always fights over it; it's a true rice-eating machine, and you'll want to lick the sauce off your chopsticks afterward!
Egg, Vegetable, Seaweed, and Shrimp Rolls. These rolls use an egg as the outer layer, wrapping vegetables and shrimp paste inside. They are then served with sauce and garnished with cilantro. This dish combines various ingredients, making it nutritious and delicious. It is a creative home-style dish or a delicate snack, cleverly incorporating shrimp paste into the egg roll for a richer texture and flavor.
This glutinous rice and egg dish, standing prominently in the center of a large round plate, exudes Michelin-level sophistication! The white plate makes the glistening rice balls stand out even more. Each grain of glutinous rice is coated in a glossy egg yolk, so sticky and soft it can be stretched into soft strands, with an enticing sheen. The green peas scattered throughout are incredibly eye-catching. The taste is absolutely amazing! The rice is chewy and sticky, bursting with savory flavor, infused with the rich aroma of Cantonese preserved meats—a truly multi-layered experience. Every bite is flavorful and satisfying, the aroma of preserved meats blending with the sandy texture of the egg yolk.

"On the left is the non-spicy seafood sauce section: the aroma of freshness hits your nose as soon as it's served. The fish is soaked in the sweet fragrance of seafood sauce, so tender it trembles when you pick it up with chopsticks. My child immediately started gnawing on the fish belly, even chewing the lotus root slices soaked in the sauce with a satisfying crunch, exclaiming, 'Mom, this is even better than what you get at restaurants!'—the seafood sauce gives the vegetables a subtle sweetness, light yet not bland at all. My child even ate rice faster than usual. On the right is our spicy dry pot section: the aroma of the dry pot ingredients fills the kitchen as soon as the sauce is poured on. The fish skin is grilled until slightly crispy, bursting with juice with every bite when coated in spicy oil. Even the celery stalks are infused with the spicy fragrance, becoming more flavorful the longer they cook. In the end, even the last bit of sauce at the bottom of the pot..." It had to be poured over rice and polished clean. The moment this pot of fish was served, the kids on the left exclaimed, "Mmm, this is so tender!" while we on the right were shouting, "Wow, this is so spicy and delicious!" The divider clearly separated the flavors; some were tender, some were fragrant. Even the usually picky kid devoured the lotus root slices. We used a special grill pan for fish that can be heated directly. It bubbled and steamed as soon as the flame was turned on, making it incredibly satisfying to eat and cook at the same time—the kids on the left were plucking at the tender, seafood-flavored fish, while we on the right were enjoying the juicy, spicy pieces of fish, taking a sip of wine, the spicy aroma mingling with the wine's fragrance, enveloped in the warmth—it was so addictive! If you don't have this special pan, a small alcohol stove with a regular grill pan works just as well, filling the air with a smoky, hearty atmosphere. Life is just too good!
This passion fruit and pineapple juice pork ribs dish is a surprising and innovative flavorful creation I encountered while traveling in Nanning. After trying the local passion fruit pork ribs in Nanning, a core passion fruit producing area, I added homemade pineapple juice to elevate the flavor. The golden, translucent passion fruit shells serve as a delicate container, nestling the ribs, smothered in a rich sauce and sprinkled with white sesame seeds. The appearance alone is breathtaking. The sweetness of my homemade pineapple juice blends beautifully with the tartness of the passion fruit, softening the rich sauce flavor of the ribs and allowing the dual fruity notes to spread across the palate. This dish boasts a refreshing tropical fruit flavor over the local original. Bromelain simmers the ribs until they are tender and flavorful, and each bite offers a delicate balance of sweet and sour, salty, and savory, creating a unique flavor experience. Although the price of this dish in the local area is a bit pricey - almost a hundred dollars, once you have tasted it, you will know that it is worth the money. Once you have tasted it, you will never forget it!
