“Street cuisine” is a type of food that embodies that spirit of Chongqing perfectly: bold, spicy, street-wise, full of flavor.

Street cuisine is best described as dishes made from a mixture of many different ingredients brought to the city by the surrounding farmland, combined with a huge, spicy, numbing flavor as well as many other types of bold flavors that can only be found in Chongqing.  These dishes are stir-fried to order, usually right on the street, by a seasoned chef under the firelight of his huge, well-worn wok.  Different from “street food”, as normally said in English, “street cuisine” is considered a culinary art form and features big dishes, full of freshly cooked food and is considered a meal in itself, usually eaten at night and surrounded by revelry.
