Ci Dongwai Xiaoguan 瓷 东外小馆

This 300sqm Sichuan chuanchuanxiang venue is well decorated and comes with a touch of both the old and new – hand-drawn paintings of Chengdu's old streets on the walls, traditional rattan chairs and large and heavy tables, and paper lanterns. The real draw, however, are the more than 100 varieties of chuan'r humbly priced at only RMB 0.9 a stick.

The side dishes are larfely on the spicy side and include  pork lungs in chili oil (RMB 36), poached pork brain in chili oil (RMB 68), prawns in chili oil (RMB 78), fried frog with chili (RMB 88), spicy frogs in chili oil (RMB 88), poached fish in chili oil.
