In Nanjing, there are two main types of noodles: old lo noodles and small boiled noodles. Among the old lo mein, large meat noodles and small rib noodles are the main ones; Among the small boiled noodles, the skin belly noodles are the most outstanding. Yi Ji Skin Belly Noodles is the most famous skin belly noodle restaurant in Nanjing, the main store is the skin of the pork after boiling, drying and frying, thin and crispy, soaked in the noodle soup with a smooth taste. In addition to pure skin belly, skin belly can also be paired with pork liver, waist slices, egg dumplings and other toppings, with a variety of ingredients. For example, "family portrait", that is, as many as ten kinds of side dishes such as skin belly, pork liver, eggs, sausages, and tomatoes are added to the noodles, which is rich in taste and sufficient in size. The "Easy Noodles", which are slightly more expensive than the "Family Portrait", also add waist slices and egg dumplings, which are enough to fill the stomach of two people, and the cost performance is higher.

The oil residue is also an excellent companion to the skin belly noodles, which goes well with the taste of the skin belly noodles. The fried oil residue is crispy and delicious, and it is not easy to get greasy when soaked in a refreshing soup. The soup of Yi Ji Pi Belly Noodles is mainly fresh, but the taste is clearer. Many local gourmets like to add chili oil to the noodles, which is spicy and sweet, and the taste is layered. There are also many diners who have complained that the stability of the products is not enough, and sometimes the noodles are too soaked, and sometimes the skin and belly are too soft, which affects the taste. Some foreign tourists come to Yiji, but they are not used to eating sweet skin belly noodles, which also makes Yiji's reputation mixed. However, as a representative store of Jinling's special leather belly noodles, Yiji's "Yiji noodles" and "family portrait" are also worth trying.

The shop is located in the Ming Wa Corridor, the façade is not large, but it is divided into two floors. In the center of the spiraling staircase, a tree trunk rises to the second floor, which is quite eye-catching. The aluminum tables and chairs are neatly arranged, and the space appears simple and bright. However, due to the fact that the shop has not been renovated for a long time, the white walls are yellowed, and the tile gaps are dark, which is not hygienic.
