Nanjing - Hunan Road Food Street!

Every city in China have food street!  Big city like Shanghai have many!  Maybe Nanjing have many too - Fat Yu don't know, he only know about Hunan Road!

We go to Hunan Road and find good food street!  Many kinds of food!  Fat Yu try them all!

First thing they sell is... AIYA!  It is Japanese octopus balls!  How can Nanjing sell Japanese balls?!  Young people don't remember history!  Fat Yu never forget!  (Eh, Fat Yu eat octopus balls anyway - is best part of octopus!)


Also sell meat sticks!  Many different kinds - chicken, lamb, pork and more!

But is already cooked!  When Fat Yu order they just heat up over fire!  Not like Xian!


They even make Fat Yu add spices by himself!  Fat Yu ask for discount because I have do half the work!  But Nanjing meat stick sellers very tough!  No give discount!



But best thing we eat on Hunan Road was candied fruit sticks!  Many people eat them - and Fat Yu understand why!  Fat Yu order strawberry and pineapple!  Was very delicious!


They cover in paper you can eat so is not so sticky!  And they have many different fruits!


Is like candy!  But Fat Yu eat it before dinner, because...



I Am Fat Yu!

So close to Shanghai, but Fat Yu never go before!  Nanjing famous for 3 things!

  1. Was capital of China!  
  2. Japanese do terrible things here!

They give you chopsticks but no need!  Also give you straw!  You drink soup with straw like milk tea!
