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?"
This dish of tender tofu and preserved egg salad may seem simple, but it has a lot of special "meanings" in it: • A wonderful collision of tastes: tender tofu is as smooth and soft as pudding, with a sweet bean fragrance; the preserved egg is chewy and elastic, the egg yolk is dense and has a special "runny" feeling, and a unique salty fragrance. One soft and one tough, one light and one strong, the combination of a particularly rich taste is the key to many people falling in love with this dish.
The tender tofu lies in the white porcelain bowl, like jade soaked in a spring stream, trembling and shaking with fine waves when touched by fingertips. The aroma of soybeans exposed to the summer sun is hidden in the texture. A sip is as refreshing as autumn dew, and swallowing it is as sweet as the melting water of winter snow floating in the throat. With a light pinch of chopsticks, it turns into half a pool of clouds, mixed with the green of chopped green onions, as if the four seasons are crushed and gently fed into the mouth
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!"

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!
Shredded pork with Beijing sauce is a classic Beijing dish. The pork tenderloin is shredded, stir-fried and coated with a sweet and salty yellow sauce, which is bright red in color. Served with shredded green onions and pancakes, the sauce is rich in flavor when rolled up, the shredded pork is tender, and the onion flavor relieves the greasiness. The sauce is thick and sticky, sweet and salty, and fresh in the saltiness. It is a versatile dish that can be eaten with rice or as a staple food, with a mellow and homely flavor.
