I wrote an article "Jinling once meets five passengers" before, which said that I went to Nanjing once when I was a freshman, and I liked its history, culture, architecture and food. I will go to Nanjing at least once a year from then on. In the past two years, I didn't know much about Nanjing's history, culture and architecture, but for food, it seems to have opened a new world again.
Chongqing has always been my favorite city. At first, under the leadership of a Chongqing indigenous girl, I ate a whole day of tasteless snacks in Chongqing. At night, Chongqing is still brightly lit, and almost all restaurants are crowded, especially like this atmosphere.
Then I stayed in Hangzhou for a year. Hangzhou is very big, with a small urban area and inconvenient transportation. Hangzhou at night is relatively deserted for a foodie. At ten o'clock, there are not many shops open on the roadside, and there are even fewer restaurants. There are few areas where fly dens and food stalls gather in Hangzhou. The so-called food streets I have heard of are "Garbage Street" and "Shengli Road Food Street".
In May this year, I went to the Jiangnan Theatre in Nanjing to watch a play. After the show, I walked from the Jiangnan Theatre to Sanyuan Lane to have supper. Almost all the way was full of food, with bright lights and people coming and going, full of fireworks. I got up at 8 o'clock the next day and began to go out for food. From the Drum Tower to Xinjiekou, I walked around the streets and ate and strolled. I still remember Xiao Pan's duck blood fans at Hongmiao.
Actually, I had a one-day meal in Nanjing before, but I didn't find anything special about Nanjing at that time. Thanks to Hangzhou, I love Nanjing more.
An old store in Nanjing that has been in business for 15 years, the public comments on Nanjing 218 must-eat list. Once I passed by when I came out of Xinjiekou to go to Fangpo Cake Group Store. At that time, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, but the little blue whale was still crowded, so I asserted that this store must be delicious. Just last week, I went to inspect it. One of the reasons why the little blue whale is overcrowded is because of the public comment effect, the other is because the storefront is relatively small, although there are two floors, it should be about 2 tables, and the third is because it is cheap, and the two of us ate more than 15. As for the taste, it is necessary to quote the dialogue between the peers and the store in the public comment.
ROUND1: My gourmet rice friend
looks at their menu, and it seems that it's really not so Nanjing, but it doesn't matter what kind of cuisine a shop is, as long as it's delicious, right? As for the taste, my evaluation is that if you don't eat rice, it's easy to get bored, but it's not bad.
I saw that it was the first place in the popularity list of Anhui cuisine in Nanjing. Its service attitude is really good, free fruit and melon seeds, hourglass countdown, hot pot restaurant treatment is rice. The small vegetable garden flaunts itself as a new Anhui dish, and my personal feeling is that it is a little sweeter on the basis of heavy color. However, its stinky tofu and fat sausage pot is really delicious. Why does the combination of stinky and smelly always produce unexpected taste bud collision (the best combination of stinky and smelly is durian large intestine in Hangzhou Sketch Restaurant).
Nanjing's famous Nanjing cuisine chain stores. This should be much more authentic than the little blue whale, but after more than a year, I don't remember the taste of its home at all. It's probably normal.
Outsiders know the most efficient places of Nanjing snacks. You can know what Nanjing snacks have with a menu, and the price is moderate, which is much more reliable than the snack city in Confucius Temple. Although Nanjing is also a chain store, please look for the one in deji plaza.
For a person from Zhejiang, Nanjing cuisine is not as exquisite as Zhejiang cuisine, and if he pursues heavy taste, he prefers Xuzhou cuisine. Therefore, I like Nanjing cuisine in Nanjing, mainly snacks, snacks, snacks!
Every time I go to Nanjing, I will basically go to Leye Village. In previous years, it was a paradise for eating goods. From Qiaotou pork ribs at the intersection of Hunan to Xiaoyu fried dumpling at the intersection of Shanxi, there are always more than 3 shops on both sides, and I have eaten half of them. Unfortunately, the past year has changed, Leye Village has undergone rectification, the environment has improved, the road has widened, there are fewer street shops, and there are more shops on the tall side. Aunt Wu's fried yogurt is gone, the ribs at Qiaotou are gone, and the roast pig's trotters shop is gone. Fortunately, the fish pot stickers are still there, the pot helmet is still there, the roasted gluten is still there, and the most delicious Anqing duck blood wonton is still there.
It was only last year that I learned that there is Laomendong in Nanjing, which is near the Zhonghua Gate. It can be regarded as a historical and cultural block, recreating the features of the old city south of Nanjing. I fell in love with that place once, and specially wrote a poem "Nanjing Old City South". There is a branch in pioneer bookstore and a snack street in the south of the old city, which is the main reason why I never forget it.
ROUND2: who is the best fried chicken in Nanjing?
besides, plum blossom cake, Jiang Youji fried dumpling and Huang Qinji bean jelly are all good.
Although it's called Xiao Tianjin Tangbao, the boss said that it belongs to Nanjing Tangbao, probably to rub off the popularity of Tianjin Tangbao. Buy a soup bag and send a bowl of soybean milk. After eating the soup bag, you will find that there is a soup one or two centimeters deep in the bowl, which shows the real thing.
The lotus root dumplings in his house were highly recommended by friends, but when I went there was only a signboard and no one was there. Maybe I really didn't have the luck to eat that day.
Nanjing is a very grounded city, and there are many kinds of snacks. There are several famous brands of light soup buns. Little Tianjin soup buns were introduced before. Here are a few more: Jiming Soup Bags: the most famous soup bag brand with the largest number of branches in Nanjing. It is said that its soup bags are steamed only after the guests place an order, ensuring the taste, the folds are upside down, the soup is sweet and delicious, and the meat is firm and tender. Anyway, I am still wanting more after eating. Its most distinctive one is Chrysanthemum leaf soup bag (Taiping Store was selected as a must-eat restaurant in Nanjing in 218); Xu Jianping's baozi stuffed with soup: Originated from Soviet-style baozi, it tastes sweet, cheaper than Jiming's baozi, with thin skin and many fillings, and delicious juice; Yin's baozi stuffed bun: It is the best place to choose a site. It is basically found in areas with high traffic, such as Lion Bridge, Xinjiekou, Confucius Temple and Nandu, Nanjing. Originally, I didn't know what new words to use to describe baozi stuffed bun. Personally, the evaluation of these three kinds of baozi stuffed bun is just like the order of appearance. There are other things like Xiao Li's dumplings ...
The documentary A String of Life, which was very popular some time ago, perfectly shows the charm of strings. Nanjing, a city full of earthly fireworks, is naturally full of strings.
His family's butterfly shrimp, Sabah fish fillet, pine meat, eggplant ... basically everything is delicious. The only drawback is that the service is slow, and you will never get enough to eat, so try not to go to the store in Sanyuan Lane (his chain).
It's a very literary shop with a lot of space and seats. Legend has it that it is the sea fishing in Nanjing barbecue industry. This baked egg is really high in value.
218 Nanjing must-eat list restaurant, Figure 1 shows plum ice powder, Figure 2 shows plum wine, which complement each other with the red string pot. Don't forget that it has a long reputation in Nanjing. Many friends recommend it. It is said that it used to be just spicy oil, but now it has become this kind of small pepper slice, which is really spicy. A cup of green plum wine can't solve the problem. If it is slightly spicy, it should be delicious.
Pot stickers also have a high status in Nanjing snacks. At the beginning, China on the Tip of the Tongue made Nanjing Pot stickers a hit. There are several famous brands of Nanjing fried dumpling. The small fish fried dumpling mentioned before is an alternative, and most of them still look like jiaozi.
Q1: Why are there so many people waiting in line for the delicious Fangpo cake group?
I ordered Fangpo cake, tremella soup and fermented Yuanxiao. Fangpo cake tastes like lime. The more you eat it, the drier it gets. The tremella in tremella soup is almost the taste of plastic; Wine-fermented Yuanxiao is simply lotus root starch Yuanxiao, which is so thick!
Q2: Why are ordinary Maojia dumplings still overcrowded?
These quick-frozen dumplings at Wan Chai Wharf are more delicious than his family's. That skin is not chewy at all, and that stuffing has no texture. It's hard to evaluate the soup because it's dried.
Q3: Why is Lion Bridge a famous food street without much food?
If I count Leye Village across the road, I'll admit it. If I just point to the archway, I'll spit.
That's all for introducing Nanjing cuisine in this issue, and Hangzhou in the next issue!
