Singapore｜Nanjing Impressions

Very impressive restaurant deco. Same as their original branch in China. But the prices are more expensive in Singapore. Dishes are flavourful and the service are excellent! Do come in earlier to avoid the lunch crowd.

With a heritage ambiance reminiscent of olden China, this spot exudes vintage charm, resembling a classic tea house with creative touches like hanging lanterns displaying dish names. The spacious layout offers unique booth seats and private rooms with round tables. Standout dish: angel hair beancurd-like noodles—simple yet impressive, with a delightful texture and light-flavored special sauce, turning simplicity into delicious culinary art. Will definitely be back again!

Been here twice and absolutely love the food, ambience and service here! We had 16 pax and they seated us at a long table at the back as we weren't going to hit their minimum sum for a private room. Service was good. Instead of using the QR code, we requested for the last server to help us order, and to make recommendations for dishes and quantity. She asked for our budget which was about $30 per pax, and she did a great job helping us! These are the dishes we ordered. 1. & 2. Jingling signature salted dock and the roast duck. Both were succulent, tasty and addictive. 3. Poached lion's head meatball. Liked the clear soup because it was light and felt healthy, but the meatball was way too fatty for our liking as they used pork belly, and it was too soft. It became minced meat soup once we cut it in half. 4. Sautéed Chinese yam, chestnuts, corn and ginko in claypot. This was yummy, but there were too many whole red onions which we didn't fully appreciate. 5. Sliced fish in pickled cabbage broth. This was not overly salty nor spicy. Good amount of szechuan pepper. Could have a little more fish. Nice soup. 6. Baby rooster stew with special sauce served with crispy sesame buns. The chicken was rather bony. Good for those who like to gnaw on bones. Comes with potatoes on the base and some stringy mushrooms. Yummy sesame buns to go with the sauce that was a tad bit too salty. 7. Sesame-scented beancurd julienne. Sauce was not too salty. A cold dish. Would have preferred a spicier version. 8. Traditional brown sugar rice cake. Oh, this was a crowd favourite! It resembled mochi and we loved the texture! There was a nice contrast with the peanuts and sugar coating. 9. Three pots of tea - Jasmine and chrysanthemum. Refillable. Highly recommended restaurant!
