1. For sugar taro seedlings, you have to eat the ones from Fangpo Cake Ball Shop, not the food stalls in Nanjing.

2. For pot stickers, go to Qijiawan on Dingxin Road.

3. Candy lotus root, I want to eat it from Mr. Lan’s family.

4. Red bean yuanxiao, logically speaking, Yongheyuan has the best taste, but I haven’t tried it since I moved to another place, so I won’t comment for now.

5. For sweet and sour pork, you have to eat vegetarian food from Jiming Temple.

The somen noodles in the temple are also outstanding.

Qinhuai Bajue, among these time-honored snacks, few remain, and the taste is no longer the same.

6. The sweet-scented osmanthus-filled dumplings at Lianhu Cake Shop are okay and rare to eat, but their horseshoe cakes are very famous, but they taste a bit greasy.

7. For sesame seeds, the time-honored one is the duck fat biscuits from Qifangge in Confucius Temple. The new ones are the duck fat biscuits made by the Shanxi Road Military Club and the Osmanthus Duck near the Bank of Communications.

8. Pidu noodles, Mingwa Lang’s are delicious.

9. I never like duck blood vermicelli and plum blossom cake because they are too hot.

But if you want to recommend it, there is a very good plum blossom cake in the alley at the intersection of Hunan Road and Shanxi Road.

10. Stinky tofu, the stinky tofu from the Xianheng Hotel in Wende Bridge of Confucius Temple is delicious, and it goes well with their fennel beans.

I made a special trip to Shaoxing and ate the authentic stinky tofu from Xianheng Hotel, but I didn’t think it was as delicious as the Wendeqiao branch.

Stinky tofu, there is a small shop near Lion Bridge and Hunan Road. It feels pretty good. I have recommended the delicacies and there is a sign.

11. The stewed lion head is delicious at the Lion House in Lion Bridge.

I don’t really like their crab meat and lion’s head, which is delicious when eaten fresh, but when I eat it, I always feel that it ruins the original taste of being neutral, fat and thin.

12. Salted duck, this is the highlight of Nanjing snacks.

Nanjing people are obsessed with duck food, and there are many types of roast duck, salted duck, and salted duck.

As far as salted duck is concerned, I think the Zhangyun salted duck from Pingshi Street is very good.

Be careful when you go to buy duck from that store, there will be a lot of people queuing up.

Zhang Yun's salted duck has four delicacies, the first of which is his salted duck, which is the most authentic. The fat one is not greasy, the thin one is not dry. It is plump and flavorful, moderately salty, without too many marks, and the taste is pure.

His ducks are on the thin side.

The second delicacy is his soy sauce beef.

Some people may say, why is it so strange that beef with soy sauce is still available everywhere?

In fact, the soy sauce beef of Zhangyun Banya is delicious and expensive, and not often available.

The sauce tastes delicious. It tastes salty and sweet at first, and the aftertaste is salty, but moderate.

The sauced beef here is very tasty. It is not the kind that only has a layer of sauce on the surface, but also has a lot of muscles. It tastes springy and has a very Q feeling.

The sauced beef here is not often made and is quite hard to find.

The third thing is this roast duck.

One issue of the Penguin Food and Drink Guide talked about the evaluation of Nanjing Roast Duck Restaurant. I think it is very objective and more in line with the real situation.

The fourth item is this restaurant’s four pieces of duck, which Nanjing people call Feifeidiao.

The taste is very catchy, the kind that makes you want to eat it again and can't stop eating it.

In essence, it can be regarded as a snack, but this is not the kind that makes you feel salty after eating it and requires a few drinks of water to swallow it.

The four-piece duck here is so flavorful that you won’t find it annoying.
