🍔Food Recommendations:
🔸Chocolate Tangerine Slices/Snowflake Crisps:
Made with Nanxun's local specialty, Red Beauty tangerines, these are beautifully packaged and both delicious and visually appealing!
🔸Zhuangyuanlou:
A long-established local establishment with authentic flavors. The rich broth paired with generous chunks of pork belly is delicious.
🔸Shuijingjing's Restaurant
Authentic Nanxun cuisine. Great value.
🔸Huanxi Crab Roe Rice:
Those not used to local cuisine can come here for a change. The crab roe is delicious and the prices are reasonable.
🔸Nanzaofang:
The restaurant is known for its aroma before you see it. The line can be quite long. I recommend the jujube kernel cake; it's especially delicious fresh from the oven.
🔸Xun Pig's Trotter:
The same dish Nicholas Tse makes, the pig's trotter and pig's claw are delicious, with a sweet flavor and soft, glutinous skin.
