刘长兴(鼓楼店)

This Liu Changxing store is very popular. There are always many people queuing up at noon. If you don't want to wait, just buy takeout. Salted chicken legs are a must-buy every time. The meat is tender and delicious. I also like to eat the black rice cakes here.

You must believe in the power of the brand. This Liu Changxing branch is located on the north side of Catherine Square. There are booths outside like a cafe, which feels very good. There are many varieties of takeaways, such as stewed dishes and pastries. Although the buns, siomai and sesame cakes are expensive, they are definitely better quality than other small shops on the street. The skin is thin and the filling is full. It is really worth a try.

Liu Changxing is a well-known old brand in Nanjing. Perhaps influenced by my parents, I have a good impression of this kind of store with a long history. I went to the Gaolou store in 2020. It was noon when I went there, and the seats in the store were still quite tight. Xiaolongbao, small boiled noodles, and a quarter of duck breast are my daily standard!

You have to believe in the power of brands! This skill is really something that no small street shop can learn. This Gulou shop is next to Catherine Square, but there are not many diners, so there is basically no queue. However, the items are still often sold out.
