Nanjing Impressions

The first meal we had when we arrived in Nanjing was at Nanjing Dapaidang. The three golden characters and the decoration style at the entrance of Dapaidang gave us a feeling of traveling through time and space. It was past the peak time for lunch but the restaurant was still full. Jinling Roast Duck. The driver introduced that Nanjing Roast Duck is the predecessor of Beijing Roast Duck. Nanjing Roast Duck with marinade tastes really good.

Many people on Xiaohongshu recommend the food of Nanjing food stalls. I personally prefer the dining atmosphere in the store, which is full of the flavor of fireworks: not only is there a distinctive welcoming link, but also unexpected storytelling and singing, with the soft Wu dialect, the atmosphere of the Jiangnan water town blows over; there is also a lively but not chaotic service process, and the connection between different links is tight, from taking numbers, singing numbers, welcoming guests to ordering, serving dishes, paying bills, and collecting diners' opinions. The whole process is done in one go, which makes people feel clean and neat without feeling neglected. It's good. The taste of the dishes varies from person to person, and the overall taste is slightly sweet and the portion is relatively large.

Nanjing Dapaidang is a time-honored restaurant. It has folk characteristics. The interior decoration is antique, with wooden tables and chairs, wooden doors and windows. Everything is full of charm. There are so many diners that you have to wait for a long time.

We started to enter the restaurant at 5pm. Many people lined up for a long time in advance to be the first group to enter. We were lucky to get a number directly and wait for ten minutes before being seated! This restaurant has many branches and has good reviews. As expected, the taste, environment and service are all great... The waiter who took the order took the initiative to remind us not to order too much, and we could add more if we didn’t have enough. The dishes introduced were also delicious! In the end, we were asked to fill in a questionnaire, hoping for further improvement! In fact, we have also eaten at several other restaurants before, and the dishes here are really delicious. Meiling porridge is several blocks away from some specialized porridge shops! The chrysanthemum-flavored wine is not bad either. It makes you feel warm after drinking it, and the alcohol content is not high... The fish is also delicious, and half a piece is just the right amount! I ate two servings of stinky tofu hahaha In short, it was all delicious

Nanjing Dapaidang Follow Nanjing Dapaidang on WeChat to make reservations and order food online, which is very convenient. The restaurant is very romantic. If you don't eat food, it's also great to experience the authentic Jianghuai restaurant~ First of all, the salted duck is delicious, the duck skin is fat but not greasy, and it has a different flavor compared to the crispy texture of Beijing roast duck skin. [It's actually braised duck hahaha] The red bean fermented rice dumplings that I've been thinking about are delicious and sweet, with a little bit of fermented rice flavor. The original sourness is covered by the sweetness of red beans, so I think it's very good. Braised lion head, no soy sauce, pure braised. Stir-fried seasonal vegetables, no soy sauce, no garlic, pure stir-fried river snails (it seems to be this) are slightly spicy and greasy. Tianwang roast duck bun, this is well-deserved, really delicious, still sweet... In general, if you have a heavy taste, this may not be suitable for you, because it is too light...

We went there at night, and there were a lot of people. We took a number and went for a walk. The two girls ordered 7 dishes, and some were left to be packed. I really admire our fighting power. I love duck blood vermicelli soup and Meiling porridge the most; the stewed lion head is very good, soft and light and delicious, very suitable for people with bad teeth. The only drawback is that there are too many people, making the environment noisy, and the waiters can't take care of it. When my friend returned to Beijing, he was still not satisfied, so he went to the Nanjing food stall in Beijing. He said that the Meiling porridge in Nanjing store is better than that in Beijing store. The Meiling porridge in Nanjing store is sweet, and the one in Beijing store is like soy milk and rice, hahaha.

I really like to eat at the food stalls in Nanjing. Every time I come to Nanjing, it is a must-go place! This time, because I stayed at the Hanting Hotel in Confucius Temple, I went to the food stalls on Pingjiangfu Road. This store is not as grand as the one in Shiziqiao, but the decoration is also quite unique. I haven't been here for a while. I used WeChat to order dishes. It took me a while to order. Then I used WeChat to place orders and pay directly. I just waited for it to be served. However, I was not very skilled at it for the first time. In addition, it was late, and I thought there were no dishes left. I didn't dare to eat more. I ordered Yangchun noodles and ancient sugar taro shoots. It was a bit regrettable, but I still like these two very much!
