Taiguli is the most prosperous business district inChengdu. The branch of Xiaolongkan in Taiguli attracts most attention. Mostcustomers comment that the hot pot tastes delicious, especially the House-specialspicy beef. You are supposed to try it if you go there. As for the hotpot soup,it is made of beef tallow instead of the general vegetable oil, which brings itpersistent aroma. It creates a sensation on the tongue that is both spicy andburning and slightly numbing, almost like carbonated beverages.
From theircomments, Chengdu is the key word that is mentioned most. Xiaolongkan actuallycan be regarded as the representative of the Chengdu hot pot. Also there aremany people recommended by local friends to try it, and they finally impressit. However, still some don’t really want to wait for too long. All thenegative comments are about the waiting time. AlthoughXiaolongkan as the top 1 absolutely deserves waiting, it had better shortenthe queueing time to satisify more customers.
Xiaolongkanis the best choice if you go to Chengdu. Try it, and you will believe that.
