Jian bing guozi (煎饼果子) is a street food most popular in the north of the country, but we are always happy to find it in Chengdu. It's one of those dishes with many components – the 'jian bing' part of the name refers to a fried pancake, and the 'guozi' refers to the fried dough that...

Susan Johnson (more chengdu)
Doing brunch is one of the things we love about weekends, so MORE was pleased to be hosted by The Lazy Pug for brunch on a recent Sunday. The Lazy Pug distinguishes itself with the important small details – you will never wait for coffee, which is fresh, bottomless, and strong enough to have...

Lai's Lamb Soup 赖氏羊肉汤
|
  |
Susan Johnson (more chengdu)
With the temperature dropping, we've noticed more and more sheep carcasses hanging outside restaurants around town. This is because one of the most popular ways to warm up in Chengdu is over a steaming bowl of lamb soup (羊肉汤). We've seen the soup eaten hot pot style, but the most common...

Mooney's Bar 爱尔兰吧
|
  |
Susan Johnson (more chengdu)
The cosy atmosphere at Mooney's belies its 5-star location in the Shangri-La hotel, but the food quality really gives it away. MORE was invited to sample a few of their featured menu items recently. One standout offering was the rib eye steak. This kitchen understands that good steak is about...

Susan Johnson (more chengdu)
Back when we used to hang our hats near Xiao Tong Xiang, it was a sleepy residential alley with the occasional tea house and small restaurant. The only places where we could get by with English were the Loft Hostel and Dodo's Cafe. In the couple of years since Kuanzhaixiangzi has become a...

Susan Johnson (more chengdu)
This teahouse on a quiet street in the south of Tongzilin has all the characteristics of a good neighborhood teahouse: comfort, good ventilation, hospitable service, and just enough space between tables that you can either keep to yourself or listen to others' chatter. What makes the place stand...

Luodai 落带
|
  |
Touristic (Dieter)
In my opinion Luodai is more a "Touristic" than an "Old" town. Well, for Chinese touristic goes hand in hand with shopping and "热闹". Not really an old town, lot's of different shops, good to buy small souvenirs and stroll for an afternoon. Better avoid the crowds during the weekend or holidays.

Maison Mode 美美力诚百货
|
  |
Susan Johnson (More chengdu)
It's difficult to imagine a place like Maison Mode in Chengdu a few short years ago, when the most common street styles in Chengdu were either dull and utilitarian or cute and sparkly. Now, the clothing of the young and well-heeled shows an awareness of international clothing trends and brands....

He Ri Jun Hot Springs 何日君温泉水疗
|
  |
Pete Sweeney (more chengdu)
Chengdu, while beautiful, gets cold come winter. My favorite place to warm up is a traditional Chinese bath, and He Ri Jun Hot Springs is convenient, cheap, and comprehensive.
The concept of the Chinese spa can be daunting for those who don't know what to expect. First, a Chinese bath is...
