San Da Pao (三大炮) – San Da Pao are sticky rice balls smothered in soy bean powder and dipped in a dark, sugary sauce. The name in Chinese means something along the lines of "three big shots," and comes from the cannon fire-like sound the rice balls make when they are thrown against a board to get covered in powder. The unmistakable sound of the "three shots" can be heard throughout the old streets of Chengdu.
