[2025 Chengdu Restaurant] Travel Guide for Xiaolong Kanlao Hot Pot (Chunxi) (Updated Jul)

#TravelChina In Sichuan Province, there is a unique spice, which is Mala pepper (La la is Chinese, meaning spicy and numbing). This pepper is found in many dishes in Chengdu, but the most popular one is probably Mala hotpot. Xiaolong Khan Shoo Loong Kan is a very famous Mala hotpot restaurant in Chongqing and Chengdu (there is also a shop in Thailand, at Icon Siam). The shop we went to is in the Chuxi Road area. The shop is open 24 hours a day. The shop is very big. We ordered food via WeChat. First, we chose the soup, then we chose the meat and vegetables as we wanted. The price here is normal, not too cheap or expensive. We went with 3 adults and 2 children and paid only 210 yuan. How to get to the shop: Located in the Chunxi Road area, walk to Exit E1 of the Chunxi metro and cross the street to find the shop. #Chengdu food #Chengdu #Mala hotpot

#chengdufood#hotpot#foodie Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, is a foodies paradise, and nothing represents its culinary soul better than the mala hot pot. “Mala” translates to “numbing and spicy,” a reference to the bold combination of Sichuan peppercorns & chili peppers that define this fiery dish. Eating mala hot pot is not just a meal, it’s a full sensory experience. As the bubbling pot arrives at the table, a rich aroma of chili oil, garlic, ginger, and peppercorns fills the air, instantly awakening your appetite. The broth is deep red, often split between spicy and non-spicy sides for variety, depending on your tolerance. What makes Chengdu’s version stand out is its authenticity and depth of flavour. The base is crafted with dozens of spices, simmered to create a broth that's complex and aromatic. You’ll often find duck blood tofu, lotus root, beef tripe, and handmade meatballs alongside leafy greens and various mushrooms. The hot pot culture in Chengdu is social and energetic. Families and friends gather around the steaming pot, chatting, laughing, and sweating through the spice together. It’s as much about the atmosphere as the food. My 2 favourite restaurants in Chengdu are: ⏩ Xiaolongkan Old Hot Pot 小龙坎老火锅. 📍2F, Tulip Plaza, 36 Xiadong Street, Jinjiang District, Chengdu, Sichuan Province. ⏩ Taode Casserole(Yingmenkou Branch)陶德砂锅. 📍279 1st Ring Rd West 3 Section, 279, Jinniu District, Chengdu, Sichuan, China, 610032. ⭐ Rating: 4.7/5. If you're a fan of adventurous flavours, mala hot pot in Chengdu is a must-try. It offers a culinary thrill that's hard to match!

This time, they have a new beer, warm fufu~ so healing~ cured meat platter, sausage, cured ribs, and cured pork belly, the three treasures of Sichuan's warm winter, the taste is really good!

Delicious hot pot is addictive, but it can also cause internal heat! However, this Chengdu hot pot won't cause internal heat! I don't know how this pot base is made~ and it's particularly fragrant. Just smelling it makes one's mouth water. The environment is in the style of a large food stall. Although it's not as delicate as an internet-famous shop, it's enough to have a taste. And the hygiene is also very clean, there's absolutely no problem. The recommended dish is fresh duck intestine. The fresh duck intestine is very clean. Put it in the pot for a few seconds, then take it out and dip it in the sauce. It's crispy and fragrant. Tender meat slices. I highly recommend everyone to come here to taste, absolutely delicious, really unique, very authentic, very suitable to bring family haha.
