The streets and alleys of the city are densely intertwined, precipitating the unique history, culture and memory of the city. The people and things here inherit the unique genes of the city, and continue life and stories.
The coordinates of this issue are chasing the bay side street. Come with us to explore the small streets, small shops, and small days of Chenghua.
Speaking of Fierce Chase Bay, I believe everyone's first reaction is Fierce Chase Bay Swimming Pool, which is the exclusive "old Internet celebrity" in the memory of many Chengdu people, and now it is also a new check-in place for young people. While developing rapidly, the Fierce Chase Bay Street under the shade of the trees still retains the memories of many people.
Hu Kee snack bar
It's not a big setting, but it tastes good
Speaking of memories of Chase Bay, this snack bar erected downstairs in the community must have a name.
From the bend of Mengchai Bay Hengjie into the No. 54 Jianshe Road community, you can see this seemingly inconspicuous shop. Although the whole store looks a little "simple", it does not affect its taste at all, after all, the piles of customers in the store are the best answer.
The snack bar has always been run by the husband and wife, and the proprietress will still chatter with customers enthusiastically even if she is busy cooking noodles. "My surname is Hu, so I just call it Hu Ji, I didn't think about it so much, and this name is easy to remember. Sister Wu, the proprietress told Andy enthusiastically.
Our family has been a little old, it has been open for more than 20 years, and the location has not changed for so many years. Sister Wu said while shaking the noodles into the pot, one of the husband and wife was busy working on the stove, and the other was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and they were quick to move, and they didn't want to let customers wait for a long time.
Red oil dumplings are sold by Sister Hu every day. The thickness of the dumpling skin is moderate, and the filling is paired with pork filling. After boiling in the soup base, each dumpling is covered with seasoning, spicy with a hint of sweetness, and you can feel a sense of satisfaction in every bite.
In addition to the freshly wrapped dumplings, Hu Kee's noodles are also specially customized. The crispy noodles with the beef cubes can be felt before the bowl is stirred. The noodles "and turn", the feeling of this paste is right, the stick noodles are fragrant but not greasy, a mouthful of kimchi and a mouthful of noodles, this feeling is very Chengdu.
Hu Kee's sweet water surface is a must-order item at every table, the solid noodles are firm and flavorful, and the homemade red oil sea pepper is spicy and sweet, and you can taste the spicy taste in the sweetness. All the seasonings are adsorbed on each noodle, and after eating, I even want to use the thin layer of condiments at the bottom of the bowl to dip the steamed buns.
Chengdu's food is always tucked away in this kind of smoky alleyway, which may be hidden, but it's really authentic. While eating small noodles, I smelled the aroma of cooking rice in the nearby residents' homes, and from time to time I could hear the Chengdu dialect Longmen Array that "seemed to understand but did not understand", and the comfort of this moment seemed to eliminate the fatigue of the day.
Jin Xiang skewers
If it's late, there will be no food
The first thing that came out of Hu Ji snack bar was Jin Xiang skewers, which was a skewer shop that my mother loved to eat when he was born.
There are relatively few types of dishes, but they are very fresh, when Andy came, the boss was skillfully cutting fresh beef, and the proprietress told Andy with a smile while skewering the meat, "Almost all of the people who come to eat are old customers, it can be said that they have grown up hahaha." ”
The old place, the old taste, can always retain waves of "delicious mouth". "I used to eat here when I went to school, but now I have children. Ran Meier, who was squirming and squirting skewers, told Andy that for so many years, the taste of Jin Xiang skewers has not changed, and it has been 10 years since I ate them.
The traditional and simple pot bottom is fragrant but not spicy, with a skewer of soul dipping dishes, a dry dish and an oil dish, just smelling the smell of sesame oil can swallow no less than 3 times. The coriander beef on the boss's skewers has been "baptized" with red oil, absorbing the soup, and the taste of coriander and tender beef is intertwined, not to mention how enjoyable it is.
The memories of Chengdu people are always hidden in these old streets and alleys, and it is the fireworks in these neighborhoods that are even more fascinating. "From snack to big" and "I eat here when I play with friends", every bite is very happy, and every bite is also a taste memory.
The side streets are stretching, the city is moving, the scenery is beautiful, and the temperature is just right. Happiness for us is just a pair of eyes of discovery and an interesting heart.
