The cuisine of Nanjing, capital of Jiangsu province, is more famous for its "small eats" than its main courses. These streetside snacks are about as famous as the city itself, which was the center of government for six ancient dynasties, the earliest dating back to the Three Kingdoms era from 220-280 AD. Popular dishes include pan-fried dumplings, shredded tofu in chicken soup, duck blood soup and steamed buns with crab roe presented in a bamboo steamer. The most famous food centers in Nanjing are at the Confucius Temple and Hunan Lu, and these bustle with visitors everyday. [China.org.cn]
