Jiangnan Snacks, on the first floor of COFCO Plaza, sits directly next to the elegant Jiangsu restaurant Huaiyang Dream and belongs to the same group: Huaiyang Fu. In the same vein of those restaurants, the decor delivers similar traditional vibes with a clean, white-tiled mixed with blackboard walls, industrial lights and makeshift shades, light-colored wooden Chinese-style armchairs and tables, bamboo, and a small rock garden in the corner.

The Jiangsu Provincial Government Restaurant serves up some regional classics including 'lion's head,' pork and crab meatballs, soup dumplings, and ‘leek screw,' a fried mix of scallions and river snails, and the ‘smoked bean curd malan head’ both of which take full advantage of Jiangsu’s green offerings.

A spinoff from subtly elegant fine dining restaurant Xin Rongji, Rong Xiao Guan embodies the trend of big name restaurants launching cheaper, “popular” brands (see also: Da Dong Duck). Rong Xiao Guan might be a casual restaurant, but they aren’t resting on their laurels when it comes to the quality of the food – the Jiangsu-style dishes sing with sweet and savory flavors.

The restaurant celebrates the cuisine of Nanjing, offering many duck-based specialties like the duck meat dumplings and the famous saltwater duck. Other must-try dishes are jiangmi kourou, rice with sliced pork belly and the "lion's head" meatball. There is also a snack stall which offers pancakes, noodles and other delicacies.
