Lao Dian Ginger Chicken (North)
This simple shop specialises in health tonic hotpots. As its name suggests, ginger chicken is the must-try, especially in winter. The broth is made fresh daily with loads of ginger and 10-plus Chinese herbs sautéed in sesame oil for two hours to mellow out the flavours, while freshly slaughtered free-range Silkie chicken boosts vital energy. Also try their yan wan dumplings – pork leg meat wrapped in silky wonton skin made with starch and pounded pork.
