It is close to Jiming Temple. I heard that old Nanjing people would come here to eat vegetarian food during the Chinese New Year. Although the store is small, there is something special inside. There is a rooftop where you can see the Ming City Wall and Xuanwu Lake in the distance.
What you must order here is a bowl of Pingan noodles. The soup base is boiled with mushrooms, which is quite delicious. The ingredients inside are very rich, including broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and other vegetables, as well as vegetarian shrimps. The texture is QQ bouncy.
In addition to plain noodles, twice-cooked pork, sweet and sour mandarin fish, mutton skewers, roasted vegetarian goose, etc., here. Of course, these are all made with tofu, mushrooms, etc. The imitation meat dishes are very realistic and very delicious!
