LAMB is a favorite food of Chinese for its delicious taste and rich nutrition.
In northern China, nomadic tribes often set a campfire to roast lamb, while in the south, lamb cooking is more delicate. Boiled lamb slice is a typical dish of southern China.
Jiangqiao lamb has a fame lasting over 100 years and its unique flavor and quality attracts numerous diners. Zhu Wenbin, creator of Jiangqiao lamb, opened a shop during the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) to sell lamb.
At that time, Jiangqiao Town was called "Home of Hu Sheep." Almost all the families raised Hu sheep and sold lamb but now only six or seven lamb shops still exist.
An expert in Shanghai claims that among them Dongming lamb restaurant is the best for Jiangqiao lamb.
Owner Zhu Dongming carries on the tradition and sustains lamb cooking skills. In addition to traditional boiled lamb slices, the shop serves many creative lamb dishes. It has grown to a capacity to serve 350 diners in its three storied premises.
Another lamb shop, A Xue, is also distinctive. The price of lamb has been rising, but A Xue sustains the price of three years ago. For regular buyers from other districts, A Xue will reimburse their transportation fees.
