You do not need sweet-skinned duck, boboji, qiaojiao beef and tofu pudding in a single sitting. For two, choose one main item, add a starch and a vegetable or small side. Solo diners should ask about small portions first.
Sweet-skinned duck, 甜皮鸭: a meat dish, not dessert. Confirm whether it is sold by weight, half duck or whole duck, and approve the total after weighing.
Boboji, 钵钵鸡: cooked skewered ingredients in seasoned liquid, potentially including chicken, offal and vegetables. Red-oil and green-peppercorn versions are not simply “spicy” and “not spicy”; peppercorn can create a numbing sensation. Check charging per skewer, stick, plate or weight, including multiple sticks in one item.
Qiaojiao beef, 跷脚牛肉: ask which beef cuts or offal are included and whether chilli dip can be separate. Leshan tofu pudding, 豆腐脑: check savoury toppings and meat additions; tofu in the name does not establish vegetarian preparation. These dishes appear in Leshan's official food introduction.
Possible combinations are a small duck portion with rice and vegetables, or a clearly specified beef soup with a starch. For boboji, begin with a modest selection rather than making many cold skewers everyone's only food.
If avoiding chilli, ask about food that has not already soaked in spicy seasoning. Vegetarians must check whether vegetables share meat-based liquid. Sesame, soy, peanuts, wheat and other allergens depend on actual seasoning. Registered local preparation standards do not establish an individual kitchen's allergy suitability.
Eat during a defined break after sightseeing. Near a fixed return train, choose one seated meal instead of crossing the city between snack stops.
