Yan Chun Lou’s halal Tianjin recipes have stood the test of time and been on the bucket list of locals and tourists alike since 1927. The red-braised oxtail and ox tongue dish seduces with tender textures and a savoury sauce that cuts through the grease. Flash-fried lamb tripe with coriander is another bestseller. The well-proportioned, traditionally appointed interior is perfectly suited to family dinners and business entertaining.
