Move over, bubble tea! Chengdu’s quirky street snack 'Three Cannons' is stealing the spotlight with its playful prep and addictive chewiness. 🎶 Imagine glutinous rice balls literally bouncing off a drum-like setup – thud, thud, thud! – before landing in a fluffy bed of sesame powder. Drenched in sweet syrup and sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds, this dessert is a symphony of textures that’s gone viral on platforms like TikTok.
Locals call it 'sandaopao' (三⼤炮), named after the three loud 'cannon' sounds it makes during preparation. 🌟 Found in bustling alleys near Chengdu’s Wuhou Temple, this snack isn’t just food – it’s a performance art piece that’s been part of Sichuan culture for over a century. Perfect for #FoodieAdventures, travelers say the combination of nutty, sweet, and chewy flavors makes it a must-try.
With Gen Z foodies flocking to southwest China’s street markets, Three Cannons proves that tradition can trend – one bounce at a time. 🚀 Got plans to visit? Follow the drumbeats!
