Food and Restaurants

Nanning cuisine is generally light with dishes placing an emphasis on the freshness of the ingredients. For lovers of spicy food, try old friend noodles, according to legend, this dish was created to cure a friend's cold. Although its curative properties may be suspect, its spice factor will make you sweat. A thin crepe filled with green onions is a delicious local snack. Another local favorite is a crescent shaped dumpling filled with pork and a tasty seafood sauce. Over at Minsheng Lu is Xiaodulai Shijie, a great food street where you can eat your way up and down the street. Another street to check out is Zhongshan Lu Meishi Jie, which is lined with traditional restaurants serving local favorites.
