Lao Mao Hand-Pulled Lamb After checking in in Yinchuan, I checked the surrounding food and chose Lao Mao Hand-Pulled Lamb. After tasting it, I felt good. I came here twice in a row. The hand-pulled lamb is really fragrant, fat but not greasy, and tastes great. The health-promoting wolfberry seedlings are very special. They are a little bitter at first, but the more you chew, the more fragrant they are. It is very delicious when sandwiched in a small oil-fried (cake). The Yellow River carp, lamb skewers, and stir-fried small sand onions are all good. Northwest food, thumbs up.

The first meal in Yinchuan. The restaurant adheres to the style of the Northwest people, and the portions are very substantial! Eating large pieces of meat, large plates of noodles, and paired with the local eight-treasure covered bowl tea, it is very comfortable! This restaurant can eat hot pot or stir-fry, with rich choices.

Yinchuan is a city that blends the old and the new. You can find the taste of old Yinchuan by relying on traditional food. This Lao Mao Shou Zhua restaurant is located opposite the Drum Tower in the old city of Yinchuan. It is a very central location. In the store, you can see the whole picture of the Drum Tower through the large floor-to-ceiling windows. It is quite artistic to dine while enjoying the scenery outside the window. The large pieces of meat are very consistent with the heroic style of the Northwest.

The local taste of Ningxia, the mutton is delicious, we also ordered a lamb neck, which is super delicious. The hotel environment is clean and sanitary, and most people from other places come here to eat. The waiter's service attitude is super good. If you say it's too spicy, he will immediately go down and fry it again. It's worth a taste.

I went to the Lao Mao Hand-Pulled Lamb Restaurant in Yinchuan Drum Tower. There were plaques of Chinese famous snacks and Chinese restaurants hanging at the door. After reading the introduction materials in the store, I learned that Lao Mao Hand-Pulled Lamb was founded in the 30th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty and has a history of more than 100 years. The most famous hand-pulled lamb in the store is characterized by freshness, tenderness and fragrance, oily but not greasy, crispy and delicious. The store has unique features in selecting meat, cooking meat and cutting. Lao Mao Hand-Pulled Lamb is included in the list of intangible cultural heritage of Ningxia. The store is not small in scale and the seats are relatively compact. When we went there, dinner had just started, and later more and more people came. The hand-pulled lamb and roasted whole lamb in this restaurant are suitable for large gatherings or large groups. These famous dishes are not cheap, and some have to be booked in advance. We, who are not very keen on beef and mutton, stopped at the special dishes such as hand-pulled lamb and ordered three dishes, cold with wolfberry seedlings, double scallion fried lamb and fried crucian carp. The double scallion fried lamb was large in quantity. Sure enough, the lamb was tender and tasted very good, and the onions were very flavorful, but the scallions were a little old. We repeatedly told the waiter that we couldn't eat spicy food, and the waiter took note of it. The cold dish still had shredded chili peppers. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Basically, all meals in Yinchuan are spicy. Unless you tell us clearly, spicy is a convention. The three dishes plus beer and rice cost more than 140 yuan.

1. Lao Mao Shou Zha was founded in Wuzhong City, the hometown of the Hui nationality, in 1915. Since its establishment, it has been favored and appreciated by Chinese and foreign guests because it has its own unique personality. It is the only nearly 100-year-old store in Ningxia's hand-grabbed specialty catering industry that has been preserved and passed down to this day. Lao Mao Shou Zha highlights the Islamic style and national color with its unique facade. 2. Ningxia Green Halal Food, Lao Mao Shou Zha, which has been recognized by relevant organizations as "China's Famous Halal Snacks", has followed the ancestral secret recipe for decades. The mutton has the three characteristics of freshness, tenderness, and fragrance, and the three characteristics of oily but not greasy, mellow and delicious, and never tired of eating. The castrated mutton, castrated neck, and castrated soup are also three major supplements that are beneficial to physical and mental health (can boost qi and replenish deficiency, replenish blood and kidney, and strengthen the body), so they are deeply favored by customers. 3. To achieve the above points, in addition to the ancestral secret recipe, there are four more things to pay attention to in selecting sheep, cooking meat, and cutting meat. First, it is to select sheep. The selected sheep should be "castrated sheep" over eight or nine months old and under one year old. They should not be too big or too small, and weigh about 28 to 30 kilograms. The quality is good. The sheep must be local to Ningxia. Because the local beach sheep eat licorice, mountain ephedra, etc., these grasses are Chinese herbal medicines. Eating this grass is qualitatively different from other sheep in terms of meat quality and mutton fiber. Such sheep do not have a strong smell. Secondly, it is to cook the meat. Cooking requires several processes such as warm fire, slow stewing, and high fire calcination. Different seasonings are used in different processes, and then the meat is served. Only in this way can the meat be fragrant. Thirdly, it is to cut the meat. Use the unique knife skills of the Hui people to cut it, so that the fat and lean are alternating, not too fat or too lean, so that the cut meat looks good and tastes good. After being served on the plate, it can have color, fragrance and taste. Eat it while it is hot to achieve the effect of fragrant aroma. Finally, the side dishes. There is a saying when eating hand-grabbed meat: "If you eat meat without garlic, the taste will be reduced by half." Therefore, it will taste better if you dip it in the special seasonings made by Mao's Meat House. Drinking Mao's special eight-treasure tea after eating meat can achieve the effects of boosting energy, replenishing deficiency, replenishing blood, benefiting the kidneys, strengthening yang, and strengthening the body. 4. Four people eat, and ordered hand-grabbed premium ribs, each plate is 118 yuan, which is a bit expensive; health wolfberry seedlings are 34 yuan, and stir-fried sand onions are 33 yuan. These two side dishes are real local specialties; Lao Mao's homemade cold noodles are 28 yuan; stewed noodles are 15 yuan; lamb skewers, 8 yuan/skewer; Sanzi is 12 yuan. 5.

First time in Yinchuan, I came here according to the guide. The gate is diagonally opposite to the side of the Drum Tower, and there are busy commercial pedestrian streets nearby. There are many people eating here, and some waiters are not very professional. They can't answer questions even if I learn about the dishes. Finally, I ordered half a portion of hand-pulled mutton, wolfberry seedlings, pepper and salt lamb liver, and stewed noodles according to the ranking list in the guide. The hand-pulled mutton tasted good, and the others were just average. An adult and an 8-year-old child spent more than 160 yuan, which is not very cost-effective. It is suitable for guests who come to Yinchuan for the first time to try something new.

I personally think it's worth a try. The hand-pulled lamb is fragrant, soft, fat and not greasy. Four people ordered a lamb chop for 108 yuan plus a few dishes, which cost 280 yuan. It was a great meal. In short, it's worth a try, but the price is a little expensive.
