Chengdu hotpot

Dongwaixiaoguan serves authentic Chengdu chuanchuanxiang, a popular street food like hotpot where customers rinse ingredients on sticks. The base soup is made with beef tallow mixed with colza (rapeseed) oil, which is shipped in from Sichuan province daily, as are the other traditional Sichuan ingredients such as beef tripe and fresh chilies. Sichuan laoying tea is also added to the broth to balance out the spicy flavors. Besides hotpot, traditional spicy Sichuan dishes can also be found here.
