Xun Wei Jinling Twelve Dishes (hereinafter referred to as "Xun Wei") opened in 2018, and the restaurant is located in the Laomen East Scenic Area. Although Xun Wei has little qualifications, it has become well-known in the local area, and the restaurant has attracted many gourmets in the early days of its opening. If you want to forage and dine near Laomendong, it is worth considering looking for Wei.
Xun Wei focuses on the new Huaiyang cuisine, which is improved on the basis of traditional Huaiyang cuisine and incorporates Western cooking techniques. "Jinling Twelve Dishes" is the main dish of the restaurant, and the dishes are classic, such as lion's head, salted duck, squirrel osmanthus fish, crab roe tofu, etc., all of which are famous dishes in Jiangsu. In addition, Xunwei also provides local snacks, cold dishes, soup pots, river fresh, game and other dishes, which are very rich.
Yuhua tea shrimp is a representative dish of Xun Wei, and it is also a must-order at every table. The cooking process of Yuhua tea shrimp is special, and the shrimp is soaked in the tea juice of Nanjing's special Yuhua tea to remove the smell and increase the flavor. Xunwei uses peony shrimp, and the shrimp meat is fat and full. Once the dish is served, the waiter pours the soaked tea over the shrimp to remove the grease from the fried food and add spice to the meal. Yuhua tea shrimp is sweet and sour, the meat is elastic, and the taste is best when eaten hot.
In Xunwei, the only thing that can be as famous as Yuhua tea shrimp is the new Jinling double smell. "Double odor" refers to stinky tofu and fat sausage, and the traditional Jinling double odor is generally braised and stewed with chili oil. Xunwei's Jinling double smell is changed to fried, and then dipped in pepper, salt or hot sauce. The stinky tofu in Jinling Double Odor is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the fat intestine is crispy on the outside and tough on the inside, both of which are spicy, and the appearance is much more refreshing than the traditional Jinling Double Odor.
Squirrel fish is a must-try dish in Su cuisine. When served, the dish is covered in an emulsified foam of soft phospholipids and is in an unopened state. The sauce is made of tomato sauce and lemon juice, which can make the fish bright in color and sweet and sour taste. Although the squirrel fish is creative, the taste is average, the sourness of the sauce is much better than the sweetness, and the taste is single, and even so, the fishy smell of the fish is not completely removed. In addition to the squirrel Guiyu, there are also some dishes in Xunwei that have the problem of "form is greater than content", with the gimmick of eating method or appearance, and no substantive connotation.
Xunwei is a two-storey independent building, the restaurant decoration is antique, and the dining environment is good. The dining area is mainly a private room, so you need to book in advance. The space setting of each box is different, with long tables, round tables and other forms to meet different banquet needs. The waiter has a warm attitude and patiently introduces the main features of the restaurant to the diners, and the diners have a good dining experience.
