In this food adventure, Petrena Schell and her local friend Scoffield set out to spend 100 yuan (about $14) at the lively Baya Food Street in Chongqing, China, with the goal of trying as many unique street foods as possible. <br>They kick off with **green onion wrapped in pig intestine** (38 yuan), which Petrena rates a 5 out of 10 due to the strong intestine flavor, while Scoffield gives it an 8. Next, the cheese durian comes as a huge surprise—neither stinky nor overwhelming. Petrena and Scoffield both give this a 10 out of 10, calling it “MVP of the night.” <br>The crispy fried potatoes get a 7 from Petrena and a 6 from Scoffield, who finds them too hot. The notorious **black tofu** proves a dramatic low point. Petrena can barely swallow it and gives it a 0 out of 10, while Scoffield scores it a modest 4. For their last 7 yuan, they grab a plain soy cake for 6 yuan, spending 99 yuan total. Both rate it a 6 out of 10. The adventure leaves Petrena grateful for having a local friend to guide her through the authentic and surprising eats of Chongqing.
