The restaurants selected in this article only have two criteria, one is delicious, and the other is distinctive.

Many people who have done their homework will go directly to Han Fuxing’s salted duck when they come to Nanjing, although many outsiders don’t know what Han Fuxing is or what salted duck is. The consequences of this were discovered only after the famous Han Fuxing was discovered. Han Fuxing turned out to be a shop that only did takeaways.

There are several differences between the salted duck here and the salted duck on the street. First, the skin and meat are more tender.

Secondly, many store owners like to eat fat duck and want one that is fat but not greasy. But Han Fuxing chose a thin duck, which was firm and crispy.

Thirdly, in terms of taste, some people who are not particular about making salted duck will make it very salty. Han Fuxing's salted duck is not very salty, but has a refreshing fragrance. In addition to the salted duck, other items in Han Fuxing are also worth trying. If you can't eat a whole duck, cutting off a duck leg is also a good choice.

His duck fat biscuits are also very famous. Needless to say, they are crispy and crispy. The richness of duck fat is the biggest feature. However, not everyone likes the smell of duck fat. I think this If the duck is smelly, you don’t need to eat it.

The salted duck in Nanjing can be roughly divided into two categories, one for Han Fuxing and the other for other salted ducks.

Han Fuxing-No. 105, Zhongshan North Road (opposite Leye Village)

If you insist on inserting a second place between Han Fuxing and other saltwater ducks, you might as well put Jinling The salted duck from the Meiyuan Restaurant of the hotel is stuffed in.

But first of all, the salted duck at Meiyuan Restaurant is too expensive, and the price-performance ratio is too poor in terms of food. Secondly, Jinling Hotel is a Jinling Hotel, not just the dish of salted duck. Salted duck is the difference between Jinling Hotel and Jinling Hotel. Salted duck has a completely different meaning to the rejuvenation of Korea. Although I have been on TV and can talk about the bizarre history and craftsmanship, I still don’t think that the salted duck I eat can be as careful as the TV shows.

In short, this plate of duck is far away from the public, so it is not worth recommending.

As for the vacuum-packed sweet-scented osmanthus duck, I have always thought that putting any delicacy in a vacuum is an insult to the careful selection of ingredients and cooking skills. This storage method neither reflects the exquisite cooking skills nor the exquisite selection of ingredients. , the exquisite cooking skills and exquisite materials are not willing to commit themselves to the gift box, so if you are not far away, go to Han Fuxing to cut some salted duck and take it back. The salted duck in the vacuum gift box will only make your family appreciate Nanjing. The impression became bad.

It is very easy to find this crowded shop in Confucius Temple. When you walk into Lianhu Cake Shop, you will find a room full of people. Everyone is holding a bowl of something dark and drinking it enthusiastically. This is the red bean yuanxiao from Lianhu Cake Ball Shop.

Lianhu Cake Shop - No. 26, Gongyuan West Street (near Confucius Temple Scenic Area Pedestrian Street)

This bowl of Lantern Festival is dark in color and has a thick and sticky texture. It is simmered over low heat to combine all the ingredients. The appearance of the ingredients is dissolved, forcing out all the flavors, allowing them to embrace and blend with each other.

The red beans are finely ground into a mild powder, releasing a delicate fragrance, and this fragrance contains the aroma of osmanthus. Only then can you taste the aroma of osmanthus and chew the stew. Only when you get the sweetness and slightly bitterness of soft lotus seeds can you taste the taste of lotus seeds, and then touch the sweetness of pulpy red dates. All these flavors are spread out on the sweetness of white sugar, sweet and fragrant, soft and delicate, all of this, But they are all hidden in the unattractive darkness. After tasting the red bean Lantern Festival, I looked back at it, and I didn't dare to underestimate this dark dessert. I just felt that what I was holding and drinking was a bowl of bright stars in the dark night.

The cake shop also sells other cakes, pastries, pastries, not only the production skills The problem is still the taste of modern people. I don’t think they are gourmet food. Their quality will not exceed anything you can eat at home. The taste of pastries seems inexplicable and there are no surprises. Maybe these things are different from the generation like me who is used to eating Western pastries. If people are not on the same channel, McDonald's pie might not be more to my taste.

Fangpo Cake and Tuan Shop - No. 50 Wangfu Street (near Shigu Road)

Compared with other stores that often only have one or two dishes worth recommending, Fangpo Cake and Tuan Shop It reflects a wonderful balance. Although there is no incredibly good food, everything in it is good. It would be unfair to single out anyone, but it would be unrealistic to mention them all. I can only say Their rice dumplings with fermented rice, braised eggs, candied taro sprouts, hot and sour soup, sesame dumplings, red bean dumplings, meat dumplings, glutinous rice lotus root, pumpkin cakes, red bean rice dumplings with fermented rice, chestnut meat dumplings, and meat dumplings are all really good, as long as If you are not a strict gourmet, you will not find fault with it. If you are willing to try some traditional desserts, you may want to try this one. Moreover, its food is very cheap. Even if there are some problems with the taste, seeing such a high value for money, I can't bear to feel bad.

If I had to tell you what is the biggest difference between this shop and the equally popular Lianhu Cake Shop, I would say it is the real aunt at the window who speaks Nanjing dialect. His hands and feet are quick and he speaks flexibly, giving people a sense of intimacy. You can't help but guess, which one is the real Fang Po?

Perhaps this is the human touch that all state-owned time-honored brands lack.

Nanjing Dai Pai Dong - Inside Hunan Road Pedestrian Street, No. 2 Lion Bridge, Hunan Road

If you only listen to one musical in your life, then listen to "Phantom of the Opera".

If you can only eat one meal in Nanjing, eat Nanjing Big Pai Dong.

The dishes are a variety of Nanjing snacks and local dishes. Although the lion heads made by him are quite delicious, nothing can be better than the Lion Head House opposite, which specializes in lion heads. Although his roast duck buns are delicious, some people can't stand the smell of duck and avoid them.

Although its traditional sugar taro sprouts are delicious, no matter how good the desserts are, they are not as good as the two pastry shops recommended above. Visitors from out of town are always brought here when they come to Nanjing, but Nanjing residents don’t often go there to eat there. There are many and complete varieties, and everything is exquisite but not everything is the best in the city. This is the embarrassing thing here.

Walking into Nanjing Dapai Dong will feel like you have traveled through time and space. Here, there are old gentlemen in long robes and mandarin jackets greeting guests as they enter, and there is a Pingtan performance on the stage.

There are towering trees in the house, and there are birdcages, which are pleasing to the eye. There is a wooden pavilion upstairs, and the lanterns are hung to make it look prosperous. The Eight Immortals table, benches, floor tiles, bowls and chopsticks here are all of the style of the past, reflecting the sincerity of the show.
