Brand Story
Founded in 1903 (the 29th year of Guangxu's reign) by Ding Deshan, a Hui Muslim, Donglaishun started as a humble stall in Beijing's Dong'an Market, selling noodles and buckwheat cakes. Through astute management, it grew steadily. In 1914, it introduced instant-boiled mutton, quickly gaining fame for its unique meat selection and knife skills. Ding Deshan's commitment to integrity and 'genuine goods at fair prices' made Donglaishun the epitome of Beijing hot pot. The lamb, sliced paper-thin, cooks instantly and remains tender, embodying the essence of Beijing's halal culinary tradition and becoming a wintertime symbol of old Beijing.
