Day 4: A Taste of Huaiyang Cuisine at Plum Garden (梅苑)

Plum Garden Nanjing is famed for its Huaiyang dishes (淮扬菜). I tried googling to have a better understanding of this cuisine and learned something new today. :) Huaiyang cuisine is considered to be amongst one of the Four Great Traditions (四大菜系) dominating China's culinary heritage. The other three include Cantonese cuisine, Shandong cuisine and Sichuan cuisine.

Huaiyang dishes are light in flavor & suit us pretty well. :)

Signature Salted Duck (盐水鸭)

Seasonal veg

Crab meat tofu (蟹粉豆腐)

A taste of Huaiyang dishes at its finest at Plum Garden. ;)
