Nanking

Insider Tips

While you could order Indo-Chinese staples, this is really the place for trying Cantonese cuisine (where Baba Ling hails from). There are plenty of great vegetarian dishes too, like the Buddha’s Delight (a stir-fry) and Stalin’s Beard (crisp filled potatoes)
• Nanking’s worst-kept-secret is its outstanding seafood. The Chilli Crab and Sugarcane Prawns are easily among the best in the Capital
• Unless you’re really fixated about the menu, let a senior wait-staff or the manager order for you. They know what they’re doing.
