Nankinish Delights - the Heart & Soul of Eating in Nanjing

Jiangsu Huaiyang Cuisine Representative Brand; Confident are We?

Situated on the edge of the busy business district in Jiangning, this branch of a chain of restaurants stands quietly. I've never been too interested in chains, because I don't think they guarantee the quality of the food and so I almost walked on by, but its slogan made stop in my tracks.
