Lao Sun Jia
제1차 선정Lao Sun Jia is said to have been founded in Xi'an during the late Qing Guangxu era by the Sun family, building its name on halal beef-and-mutton paomo. It is among the oldest brands in Xi'an's culinary culture and is now a recognized China Time-Honored Brand.
Among Xi'an's many paomo houses, Lao Sun Jia is long regarded by locals and visitors as one of the authentic standards, and its paomo-making craft has entered the national intangible heritage list, carrying the name across the northwest and abroad.
The house attends carefully to meat selection, simmering, broth-making, and the breaking and boiling of the flatbread. Bone broth is cooked for hours, diners tear the dense bread into soybean-sized pieces by hand, and the dish is served in styles distinguished by how much broth remains.
As both a Time-Honored Brand and a national intangible-heritage custodian, Lao Sun Jia keeps an old halal craft alive in daily practice, offering a living window onto the Hui Muslim food culture of the Guanzhong plain.
