The essence of Sichuan cuisine lies not in its intense spiciness, but in the subtleties that can be tasted in every bite—the fresh numbing sensation from Sichuan peppercorns, the rich flavor of slow-cooked broth, and the gentle touch of sugar coating. ✈️Flying from Beijing to Chengdu early this morning, then transferring to Leshan to attend the 8th World Sichuan Cuisine Congress. All my anticipation was instantly replaced by the lively atmosphere upon arrival! 🍻 #8thWorldSichuanCuisineCongress# The opening welcome banquet was more welcoming than expected. There was no stiff, formal seating; instead, it felt like a neighborhood food gathering. Several time-honored Sichuan intangible cultural heritage brands and famous Leshan snacks had set up stalls. 🐷The 170-year-old "Youji Fatty Intestines" were stewed until tender, offering a rich and satisfying taste thanks to traditional methods. 🍢The 100-year-old Zhou Chicken's Bo Bo Chicken was glistening with red oil, the numbing sensation of Sichuan peppercorns slowly spreading across the tongue, becoming more and more fragrant with each bite. 🦆The 86-year-old Zhao Duck's Sweet-Skinned Duck had perfectly crispy skin, a not-too-sweet sugar coating, and each bite was bursting with duck meat. The tender chicken feet are a must-try! 🐓Jiazhou Jiu Mei Chicken Feet are also delicious, with a satisfyingly spicy and sour flavor that's not overpowering, making them incredibly appetizing. 🫓Lei Si Niang Egg Pancakes are freshly baked, with a slightly crispy outer layer and a generous filling inside. One bite and you'll find them fragrant, soft, and delicious. 🍐A bowl of Sweet Grandma's Stewed Pear is a warm and soothing treat that perfectly balances the spiciness. You can also sample various snacks on-site, chatting with the vendors about old-fashioned flavors. The lively, bustling atmosphere carries the taste of bygone days. ⏳The #LeshanFlavorTasteAppreciationEvent is even more exciting tomorrow and the day after! I can't wait! #FoodFlavorEvent #DeliciousSnacksGathering #LocalFoodOnlyAvailable #MyMidnightDiner #LocalSpecialties
