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.

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.

It is the most popular Nanjing Dapaidang in Nanjing. Because it is in the Qinhuai River Tourist Area, there are a lot of people at mealtime. It often takes hundreds of numbers to wait for a table. The taste is very good. Duck blood vermicelli soup is a must-order. The fermented red bean Yuanxiao is also delicious. There are also boiled dried shredded vegetables, crab soup dumplings, Yangchun noodles, etc. They are all very delicious. Another advantage of Nanjing Dapaidang is that the price is cheap and very close to the people. There are snacks that cost ten yuan or so. The dining environment is great, with typical Nanjing style decoration. Each store has a stage, and there will be live singing occasionally. In fact, if you come to travel, you can also choose Nanjing Dapaidang in the mall, there will be fewer people. I stayed at the one on the way from Xuanwu Lake to Jinmao, and there was no need to queue at all. It was also very good! Scan WeChat to get a cheaper membership price. In addition, the autumn scenery in Nanjing is beautiful, it is worth a visit

After coming down from the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, I went to Nanjing Da Pai Dang with my friends. This restaurant opens at 5pm. There is still half an hour before the restaurant is packed with customers. You cannot eat without reservation, so my friend reserved a table of Huaiyang cuisine, which is very flavorful. The stewed lion head was served first, as big as a pot, with moderate fat and lean, and melted in the mouth. The salted duck was cut into pieces and steamed again, and it was not too salty. The ancient method of brown sugar lotus root seedlings, take the lotus root seedlings and boil them thoroughly, cut them into balls, add brown sugar osmanthus lotus root powder and cook them, sweet but not greasy, Yangchun noodles are chewy, Yundou boiled dried shreds, boiled thoroughly with roast duck slices, the soup is thick and mellow, and the dried shreds are inch by inch. Duck soup dumplings are unique to this restaurant. There is little soup but the duck meat is full in the mouth, which is very fresh. People say that the freshness that makes eyebrows fall off must be this thing. How can there be no wine on such a beautiful day? I quickly ordered a pot of Huadiao, boiled with plums and then chilled. The taste is excellent. Drinking a few cups will make you slightly tipsy. Then we had the red bean dumplings, which were a little soft and the red bean paste was sour, not perfect. But the sound of Pingtan in my ears made me feel very happy. Soon the food was gone, the cups and plates were in a mess, and we left after we were done with the fun. The people lining up in front of the door did not decrease.
