Overview

The addictive "Chongqing Fold" is a 3D version of grilled dried tofu that is unique to Chongqing. Unlike other regions where dried tofu is eaten flat, Chongqing's grilled dried tofu is rolled up with lots of pickled vegetables and scallions. Therefore, the grilled dried tofu, which is full of ingredients, looks like a wormhole model made by Einstein and is unique to Chongqing's barbecue stalls. Meanwhile, the combination of perilla and false bamboo shoots in Nanning's barbecue will also test the taste adaptation of unfamiliar diners.
