Let’s talk about the few places I visited in Nanjing this time…
The most distinctive in NanjingNanjing Da Pai Dang:
The ambiance is quite unique, with uncles serving as greeters. They serve all kinds of traditional Nanjing snacks.
The food tastes great and offers excellent value for money, but it’s a bit cramped and the lines are super long~~

Kanpai Japanese Yakiniku Izakaya
This restaurant is located in 1912. 1912 is an area similar to Xintiandi,
though of course, whether in terms of venue quality, architectural style, or maintenance, it falls far short of Xintiandi~~
Inside, there’s this Japanese yakiniku spot that hosts all sorts of quirky promotions—for example, posting on Weibo gets you half-price BBQ,
or if a couple kisses for 10 seconds, takes a photo, and posts it in the store, they get free “Kiss” pork belly, etc…

The meat quality is actually pretty good. As for the sashimi, well, at a place with low turnover like this, don’t expect much freshness~~
It was obviously just thawed… But the presentation is gorgeous, haha..

Scica Cafe
Located next to Nanjing University, the area is filled with various small shops, restaurants, and cafes~~
Many are converted directly from residential houses; the environment is nice, mainly catering to nearby students.
The downside is that the rooms are a bit too small, and the food is fairly average.
Nearby, there are also famous spots like 3 Coffee and Friends Cafe~~

Tomato Sister Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles
Located on B1 of Xinbai, it gets very crowded and the space inside is quite large. Although these rice noodles aren’t really related to traditional Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles,
they’ve been adapted for modern tastes. The flavor is decent, and the prices are reasonable~~~
