Founded in Chengdu, the Lost Plate food tours are a fantastic way to explore the area while sampling the local Sichuanese delicacies. During the evening, you'll travel through the streets in a tuk-tuk, stopping off at four or five restaurants along the way that you'd struggle to find otherwise. As they vary from street stalls you might find yourself in someone's apartment who has turned it into a restaurant. You'll also have the chance to enjoy an unlimited supply of beer and soda. Examples of local specialties that you'll taste include Sichuan stuffed pancakes, Chengdu noodles, Chinese wine, plus you'll also have the chance to try out traditional hot pot cooking. Finally, you'll head to a secret bar located on the 21st floor of a private building — the perfect place to enjoy a drink with a view.
Please note that this is a shared excursion with a group of up to 10 people.
