A Nanjing culinary landmark has returned! ️ Zijinshanyuan has been reborn from the brink of bankruptcy 🏯 Super photogenic! It feels like stepping into a Japanese garden.

🌶️After leaving Purple Mountain Courtyard, the troubles at Red Mansion put a damper on my appetite. Chain restaurants always felt a bit lacking in spirit. It wasn't until I stumbled upon Meet Xiangyu·Shanye Xiangxi Cuisine (Nanjing's first location) on the B1 floor of Jinling Style that I finally found my dream restaurant! The aroma of the Litsea cubeba oil is incredible. Unlike traditional Hunan cuisine, which is heavy on the oil and salt, it slowly awakens the appetite with a gentle and light touch. Every bite is a refreshing and tangy taste of Xiangxi. If you're looking for unique Hunan cuisine in Nanjing, this place is a must-try! #NanjingHunanCookingRecommendations #JinlingStyleFood #NicheTreasureRestaurant #LitseaCubeHunanCooking

Nanjing Michelin | A Soothing Restaurant Hidden in the Mountains 🌳 When the Jiangsu Michelin list was released, I paid close attention. With 32 restaurants on the list, it was truly a buzz! As a former restaurant enthusiast, how could I miss such a major culinary event? Michelin ratings aren't simple; the food and taste are just the foundation; the environment, service, innovation, and other aspects all come into play. This time, I rushed to "Purple Mountain Courtyard," whose ambiance captivated me the most. The experience was truly amazing, and I had to share it with everyone! 📍This restaurant is located right at the entrance of Nanjing's Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, and its location is truly amazing. Stepping inside is like stepping into the embrace of the mountains. The expansive 360-degree glass windows blur the line between indoors and outdoors, creating a seamless connection with nature and an instant sense of well-being. 🎈The restaurant's private rooms are exceptionally quiet, perfect for business dinners and discussions. The seating is also perfectly spaced, creating a stylish atmosphere for casual dates or casual gatherings with friends. 🍱We ordered five dishes and one dessert, without any wine, for about 500r per person. For such high-quality food, this price is excellent value. 🥢The hazelnut duck liver pâté with scallion pancakes was incredibly smooth and creamy, paired with the crispy scallion pancakes, creating a rich, layered experience that I couldn't stop eating. 🍖The braised pork with abalone was also amazing. The pork was rich but not greasy, melting in your mouth, while the abalone was chewy and firm. The combination, along with the rich sauce, was a perfect match. 🍮The tea-flavored braised milk was the perfect dessert to end the meal. The tea aroma was refreshing, the braised milk was smooth, and the sweetness wasn't cloying, bringing the meal to a perfect end. The portions were generous, and we both left feeling very full. 💁‍♀️As we left, I noticed that the restaurant thoughtfully prepared special arrangements for anniversaries and birthdays. Their attention to detail is truly remarkable! My impression of the restaurant has skyrocketed. I'll definitely come back next time I have the chance~ 📍ADD: 5-2 Boai West Road, Xuanwu District, Nanjing 🕙TIME: 11:30 AM - 3:00 PM / 5:00 PM - 9:30 PM #NanjingMichelin #PurpleShanyuan #NanjingFoodExploration #HealingRestaurant #MichelinRestaurant #Lilo & Stitch #Lilo & Stitch #KoreanDrama"FilmingLocation" #SonglikeJourney
