Who doesnot love Chinese food? Scallions, soy sauce, the sizzle of oil in a wok. But the Western palate craves variety. We are used to coconut curry one night and salsa-drenched burritos the next. Sometimes, even the most delicious jiaozi can't satisfy a craving for diverse cuisine. While Nanning lacks the variety of restaurants available in larger cities, it does have several good options for foreign food. From kimchi to cannoli, here are Nanning's best foreign restaurants.
Each intimate floor of this
multi-story Korean restaurant holds only a few tables. As such, it fills up
quickly; call ahead to reserve. Waiters place live coals beneath a grill in the
center of each table. After a drizzle of oil, the grill becomes the focal point
of the meal; lamb, bacon, spring onions, potato, and sliced eggplant are picked
off the fire with heavy silver chopsticks, slathered in kimchi, and consumed
wrapped in lettuce leaves. Plates of BBQ items cost between 10 RMB for
vegetables to 50 plus for meats.
Apart from barbeque, Delicious Korea also serves
family-style dishes. The tofu soup had a nice sour, lemony bite (20 RMB). A
scoop of mashed potato, covered in ground beef, became a hearty filling for
thin, tofu-skin pancakes (35 RMB). Korean cold noodles, often served with egg
and pickled vegetables, make a good snack in hot weather.
