Chengnan Duijia (Qiaoxi Branch)
城南对夹
The flagship Chifeng duijia brand: crisp, flaky flatbread stuffed with smoked pork, an affordable old favorite where locals start the day.
Founded in 1988, Chengnan Duijia calls itself 'the No. 1 Chifeng famous snack shop.' Its Chifeng duijia-making technique was added to the Inner Mongolia intangible cultural heritage list in 2018. The flatbread is rubbed with millet flour on the outside and brushed with oil, then reheated before eating, which makes its layers flaky. Inside is smoked pork that is lean but not dry and fatty but not greasy. The house special is the lean-and-fat duijia, and locals often pair it with millet porridge, egg-drop soup or wontons. There are also home-style dishes such as guobaorou (sweet-and-sour pork) and stir-fried sangan. The line forms early in the morning, but service is quick. This Qiaoxi branch is on Zhenxing Street in the Zhenxing neighborhood of Songshan District. Other branches are in Hongshan District, opposite the affiliated hospital, and at Yulong Square.
