Ma Xiangxing is a local time-honored halal restaurant. It was visited by many celebrities during the Republic of China. Now it has moved to Yunnan North Road. Snacks and banquets are separated. Braised vegetables and dim sum are made well, and more locals patronize it.
For foodies, the meaning of travel is the food on the tip of the tongue. In addition to satisfying the appetite, there is also spiritual enjoyment in it. Where to eat and what to eat? It is imperative to make a food punch-in guide. Ma Xiangxing Restaurant is a famous Chinese time-honored brand in Nanjing, and it is also a halal restaurant that has spanned three centuries. This seemingly inconspicuous restaurant is crowded with people every day. Most of the people coming in and out are local citizens of Nanjing. I definitely don’t think that many foreigners who come to Nanjing for tourism will come to this place to eat, because few of them know that this time-honored brand hidden in the center of the old city of Nanjing. In history, Ma Xiangxing Restaurant was quite scenic. The famous dishes here are basically the ones that gourmets like. Among them, the famous dish "Beauty Liver" is the most praised, because Wang Jingwei "fell in love with Beauty Liver"... The current Ma Xiangxing Restaurant is no longer the same as it used to be... Now, it can only be regarded as a small restaurant in the market. (Very ordinary, but definitely not a place to cheat people)
Ma Xiangxing Restaurant combines the northern Muslim flavors with the delicacies of Jiangnan ingredients. The dishes are quiet and elegant, and the mouth-watering fragrance is long-standing. Behind every delicious dish is a beautiful memory, especially the four famous dishes of the restaurant, namely, the beautiful liver, the phoenix tail shrimp, the egg steamed buns, and the squirrel fish, which are famous all over the world and attract countless diners to linger. The large cursive characters of "Muslim Ma Xiangxing Restaurant" written by Mr. Qu Wu, Chairman of the Central Committee of the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang, hang above the main entrance. The crystal chandelier in the front hall is dazzling, and the calligraphy and paintings carved on the wall have both profound cultural connotations and extremely high artistic taste. The waterside landscape is lifelike and has colorful fish. The new Ma Xiangxing Hall has 5 floors. The first floor sells special snacks and stewed dishes. The second floor serves a la carte; the third and fourth floors have 17 luxurious private rooms with different styles. The multi-functional hall on the fifth floor is suitable for large banquets. The decoration of the private room has both distinct national characteristics and elegant Jiangnan style; the calligraphy and paintings on the wall have both profound historical origins and a strong contemporary atmosphere. The environment is quiet and the seats are comfortable. The exquisitely customized tableware printed with the 12th year of the Republic of China makes it more face-saving to entertain guests. Plum cherry tomatoes, an innovative dish, are delicious after eating. The sour and sweet cherry tomatoes are supplemented by the sour and sweet plums. They are also sour and sweet but have completely different experiences. The interweaving brings a pleasant taste! Nanjing's salted duck is famous all over the world, and the old brine for pickling duck is the most critical magic weapon. When the old brand Ma Xiangxing was demolished from the Drum Tower, no matter what, the first thing was to secretly preserve a jar of century-old brine. In the early days of Ma Xiangxing's entrepreneurship, several brothers separated, and the old brine was divided as a family property. Century-old braised duck, Nanjing people know that the taste of salted duck depends on the taste of the brine. Ma Xiangxing's century-old salted duck has left a deep impression on many people. The duck skin is also relatively plump, and it feels chewy when you bite it, which makes people aftertaste. Family reunion dishes are almost the most representative Nanjing flavor in the hearts of every old Nanjing. There are many ingredients, rich in nutrition, refreshing, and both northern and southern tastes can be taken into account. Asparagus fried duck tongue can be said to be a perfect representative of southern halal. The taste of duck tongue is matched with the fragrance of asparagus, and the aftertaste is sweet and endless! Egg siu mai is light yellow in color, similar to siu mai, and beautiful in shape. The thin egg skin is wrapped with fresh fillings, with juice, smooth taste, tender and delicious. Stone pot half soup beef, Ma Xiangxing's control of the heat can be called superb. At the end of the cooking of the beef brisket, the juice is collected just right. The most amazing thing is that the half soup juice collection makes the beef brisket have a memorable taste. Beef pot stickers are also popular among diners. The pot stickers are crispy and golden in color, which makes you hungry at first sight. Each pot sticker is fresh and juicy, with a very thin skin, and the fragrance overflows when you bite it. Once you poke it, the juice will flow out, salty and sweet. Dip it in their spicy oil and vinegar, it's so delicious that you want to dance in your seat.
Family dinner, group bought a 1399 coupon in advance, the private room is nice, spacious and bright, the waiter is also very good. The dishes are large, each ingredient is relatively fresh, the most famous egg siu mai, phoenix tail shrimp, squirrel mandarin fish, all perform very stably. The mutton pot, crab roe stewed fish belly and half soup beef are large and soft, which makes the elderly praise it! It happens that today is Laba Festival, so a big bowl of Laba porridge is also sent, which is very heartwarming. After eating, everyone said that they would come here for the next dinner. First, it is an old brand, second, the taste is very stable, and third, the quality of the ingredients this time is good. Although the waiter has to take care of three private rooms, his attitude is very good throughout the whole process, and the bone plate is replaced in time, which is very satisfactory! The old brand is worth recommending!
The beef pot stickers at the time-honored Muslim restaurant have thick and chewy skin. The steamed buns are juicy and tasty. Add a duck pancake and it's crispy and delicious. Finally, have a bowl of thick red bean yuanxiao. The portion is just right. Next, go to the Lion Bridge Food Street to taste other delicacies.
Yes, I ordered three dishes. Because this is a halal restaurant, there is no duck blood vermicelli soup, but there is mutton vermicelli soup. Please pay attention when you come here and respect the national customs. As soon as you enter the door, you can see the bar on the right hand side for ordering. After ordering, find a seat, give the receipt to the waiter, and wait. Don't be anxious because they are all freshly made. The first dish is beef vermicelli soup. The soup is rich and fragrant, and the meat is delicious. I drank half a bowl first. The second dish is beef pot stickers. In one word, it is fragrant! ! It seems to have the taste of sesame paste. The skin of the pot stickers can be fried so that it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The third dish is beef soup dumplings. You must pay attention to this. You must bite slowly at the first bite. Otherwise, the fragrant soup in the soup dumpling will easily burst out, and it will be very hot. The soup tastes rich, but a little sweet.
Ma Xiangxing is a century-old shop. I found it when I was walking on Hunan Road. They have a complete range of products, including takeout, stewed dishes, a la carte dishes, and various snacks. The first floor is the lobby, where people mainly eat various snacks, and upstairs is for ordering dishes. The tables and chairs on the first floor are all made of wood, which looks like an old shop. There are many tables, and there are also many people at mealtime, but the air conditioning is not very powerful. We ordered a smoked fish noodle and a beef offal noodle. The smoked fish noodle is 18 yuan, and a large piece of smoked fish is placed on the noodles. The smoked fish is delicious and very flavorful. The noodles are very chewy and chewy. The stewed sauce of the noodles is also good, fragrant and delicious. There is also a beef offal noodle. I forgot how much it cost, more than 20 yuan, I didn't eat it, but it looks delicious. I will try their pot stickers and other snacks if I have the chance in the future. I saw a lot of people ordering.
