Zhang Laowu Liangfen

Zhang Laowu Liangfen

　　Zhang Laowu Liangfen was first created in 1944 by Master Zhang Chengming, who combined the characteristics of traditional folk liangfen from Sichuan. It is renowned both in China and abroad for its exquisite craftsmanship, refined seasoning, and distinctive flavor profile — “brownish-red color, soft and glutinous texture, numbing-spicy and savory taste, with a long-lasting aftertaste.” Its varieties such as yellow liangfen, spiral liangfen, and river-crossing liangfen have been featured in consecutive “Chengdu Famous Snacks” lists, and in March 2000, it was rated as a “China Famous Dish” by the State Bureau of Internal Trade and other departments.

　　Feature Introduction: Zhang Laowu Liangfen is a classic style of Chinese fast food, with liangfen being the shop’s signature offering. The liangfen here is divided into two main types: pea starch liangfen and rice starch liangfen. Pea starch liangfen includes the yellow, flaky-style Northern Sichuan Liangfen and the white, strip-style Spiral Liangfen, both served cold. Rice starch liangfen is cooked and served hot. Additionally, the chicken broth wontons at Zhang Laowu Liangfen are also very affordable.
