The Old Brand Hotpot Restaurant Hides a Stir-Fry Ace! Dong Lai Shun is Winning Big Time

Dong Lai Shun, highly recommended by the locals of Mentougou! I thought it was just the ceiling for copper pot hotpot, but I didn't expect the halal stir-fries to be so delicious that I couldn't stop stomping my feet! The new store is in Huayuanfang, and as the first halal fusion restaurant in western Beijing, it perfectly combines hotpot and stir-fries. You can't go wrong eating with the locals~ 🐑 Mutton Spine It deserves to be the signature dish! The mutton spine is stewed until it's soft and flavorful, and the meat in the bone crevices comes off easily with a gentle sip. The soup base is rich with a faint herbal aroma. After gnawing on the bones, suck the marrow. You'll even want to pack the soup to take home and cook noodles with! 🐟 Fish in Hot Chili Oil This is the first time I've had such an amazing Fish in Hot Chili Oil! Dong Lai Shun uses deep-sea perch, which grows in low-temperature waters, so it has a long growth cycle and firm, springy meat. Based on traditional Sichuan cuisine, they've innovatively created the "Dragon Spitting Pearl" flavor. The tender perch slices are smooth and paired with handmade mutton balls. The mutton balls are full of fresh, spicy juice, and the texture is super rich! The chili peppers and peppercorns on top are stimulated by hot oil, and the spicy aroma directly rushes into your nasal cavity. It's spicy but not dry, and the more you eat, the more addicted you become~ 🍛 Sea Cucumber Rice I was shocked by the portion size when it was served! This sea cucumber rice, which originates from Jiaodong, is made with carefully selected Qingdao sea cucumbers, which are unique to Mentougou! Each sea cucumber is fresh and crisp, and diced Australian Wagyu beef is also added. The bowl is full of thick sauce, and the rice grains are full of fresh flavor and distinct. Take a spoonful and send it to your mouth, and it's so fresh that your eyebrows will dance. You won't be able to stop even after eating two bowls 🤤 ♨️ Sichuan-Chongqing Hotpot Broth Hotpot lovers, be bold and try something new! The red soup broth is rich, fresh, and fragrant, and the spiciness is just right without being irritating. The mutton rolls have a milky aroma, and they're not at all out of place with the spicy hotpot broth. Those who love spicy food should go for it with their eyes closed~ Finally, I must praise the black sesame sauce! It's made with natural pure sesame seeds, without any additives. The delicate and mellow aroma will instantly transport you to old Beijing. Whether you dip hotpot or mutton spine in it, it instantly enhances the flavor. The soul dipping sauce of the old brand is indeed flawless! 📍 Dong Lai Shun Restaurant (Mentougou Huayuanfang Branch) Meat lovers, hurry up and try it. The fusion innovation of this old brand will really not disappoint you!
