The following is the menus for Chengdu main dishes:

• Spiced chicken with peanuts

  Spiced chicken with peanuts is one of the special local dishes of Chengdu. Although very spicy, this dish is welcomed by westerners as the taste is similar to sweet and sour. Why it is called this name? There is a legend associated with it. In ancient times, a rich man in Sichuan province always asked his chef to cook this dish for visitors. Later, this chef became a top official in Sichuan (A Gongbao); hence, the dish was named this way!

• Mapo Bean Curd

  Mapo Bean Curd is perhaps one of the most typical of Chinese bean curd dishes and is hugely popular throughout the country. In Chengdu, Grandma Chen's Bean Curd restaurant established in 1842 is the very best place to taste this spicy dish. The owner wife of the restaurant, Grandma Chen, created this dish. Soft bean curd is served with a very fiery meat sauce and this is a very spicy and hot dish, normally served coated with a thick layer of oil, minced beef and dry chilies.

• Hot Pot

  Hotpot is very not only popular in Chengdu, but also throughout the country. It is known for its spicy and hot flavor which can numb the tasters’ tongue! Hotpot once was only served up at home to the family but is now hugely popular throughout Chengdu on the street and in restaurants. There are numerous different flavors available including lamb and fish hot pot. This is particularly nice in the winter as the spiciness is very warming!

• Fuqi Feipian

  Fuqi Feipian is a unique Sichuan dish created by an affectionate couple fifty years ago. Literally translated, the name of the dish means "Couples Lungs" but in fact, the dish is not made from lungs but other inner parts. The meat is stewed in soy sauce and then served with chili oil, pepper, sesame and peanut.
