A popular Chengdu skewer brand. The Zhimin Road branch is decorated in the style of old Chengdu streets, complete with old-fashioned streetlights, a courtyard, and a small convenience store. It specializes in cold-pot skewers, using chili powder mixed with peanut powder or soybean powder as a dry dip, which is then doused with the original broth. Popular items include spicy pig brain, roadside tender beef, duck intestines, and beef tripe, with brown sugar rice cakes or ice jelly to finish. Queues are prominent during peak hours, so arriving around opening time is recommended. Reviews are somewhat divided, with some locals believing its fame exceeds its taste. The average cost is about 70 to 76 RMB per person. Located near Exit B of Xinnanmen Station on Metro Line 3.
