Zhang Yun Roast Duck / 章云板鸭

This is Nanjing's version of Peking Duck. It's not as crispy as Peking Duck, and it doesn't come with all the garnishes. It's just duck, roast duck, tender and delicious. Locals have it with a special red sauce to add a bit of sweetness. This one is also a takeaway only restaurant.

Han Fu Xing Salted Duck / 韩复兴盐水鸭

Salted duck is one of Nanjing's most famous dishes. When it comes to salted duck, there is Han Fu Xing, and there are the rest. The restaurant was founded in 1866 and its 150 years of experience make it the city's absolute finest. The meat is tender with fat yet not heavy. In autumn, when osmanthus blooms, they often add the flower into cooking so that the duck comes out with a particular scent. The duck fat bread (鸭油烧饼) is worth trying as well. Be aware that the restaurant is takeaway only.

You might have tried potstickers before, but trust on this one: there is nothing like Jiangyouji. Potsticker shape and preparation style may vary by region or even restaurant. Here at Jiang You Ji, the whole dumpling is fried until it turns gold and crispy, while ground beef stays juicy on the inside.
