Huayang Dipping Sauce for Tripe at Chengdu’s Cheap Eats Restaurants
Thread Content
This small restaurant in Huayang that specializes in pig intestines has been open in Chengdu for over 20 years. There’s hardly any promotion available online; its customers are all regulars. The taste has remained unchanged from the beginning to now, and every time I go there, it’s packed with people – it’s quite busy. It is said to be the first restaurant in Huayang to serve pig intestines with dipping sauce. Almost all the long-time residents of Huayang as well as other shops are aware of this place; it’s truly a traditional establishment.
Basically, there is a bowl of delicious pig tripe soup on each table. The pig tripe used in their restaurant is purchased, washed, and cut fresh every day; the owner personally cleans it thoroughly, paying close attention to detail to ensure that everyone can enjoy clean and authentic pig tripe. After all, there are so many frozen versions of pig tripe available these days, and it’s not easy to stick to traditional methods.
Pick up a piece of pork tripe and dip it in their homemade dipping sauce; it looks bright red and full of a reddish hue. It’s very chewy when eaten, but not to the point where it’s hard to chew. The pork tripe has no trace of fishy taste at all – it’s spicy, tasty, and refreshing. It’s great either on its own or paired with white rice.
Cold stir-fried pork intestines – scallions, garlic, and the pork intestines are topped with authentic Sichuan-style spicy red sauce. As soon as it’s served, its spicy aroma fills your nostrils. The pork intestines are neither too soft nor too hard, making them perfect to eat; even though they’re served cold, there’s no fishy taste at all, which shows that the owner really cleaned them thoroughly, allowing us to eat with confidence.

Saliva, so much of it; it would take a year to go through them one by one
