Nanjing is a city of gourmet food, and the Gulou District is home to many delicacies.
First of all, Nanjing Da Pai Dong is a representative dish of Nanjing cuisine, and the lion head of "Laomendong" is one of the most distinctive dishes.
Lion's Head uses fresh raw pork as the main ingredient and has a unique preparation method. It tastes plump, tender and delicious, and is deeply loved by diners.
Secondly, I must recommend the boiled fish in Gulou District, Nanjing.
Whether it is the spicy boiled fish on Dalian Road or the boiled fish in clear soup on Hunan Road, each has its own characteristics.
The rich soup base, tender fish meat, and spicy and fragrant ingredients will whet your appetite.
Finally, in order to meet the needs of the public, there are many snack bars in Gulou District, such as pastry shops, fried chicken shops, late-night snack shops, etc.
My favorite is the "Madam Yu Pastry Shop" on Hongwu Road. The sesame paste and coconut cake here are very delicious.
In addition, there is a fried chicken restaurant called "Zhuang Sheng Chicken" that also has a good reputation. The chicken is crispy and delicious and is loved by people of all ages.
In short, Nanjing’s Gulou District has a variety of food options. Whether it is a big-name stall or a snack bar, you can taste different delicacies.
Both locals and tourists can find their favorite food here.
