The entrance of mutton porridge is smooth, and the porridge is rich and appetizing. Xuwen mutton skin is just "balanced", thin and tender, and the meat fiber is thick and long; The meat is forked and does not stick to the hands; Xu Wenyang's bones are wide and long, and the bone juice is delicious. Xuwen mutton soup is made of dried fish and sheep bones. The soup is golden in color, attractive in appearance and memorable! In a word, "Sanwei Sheep" tastes like a word "Shuang"! In addition, their seasoning is also unique: sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, pepper and crispy fried garlic are mixed together, which has a unique flavor. (Crispy fried garlic is brown, and it tastes particularly crisp. It is fried with garlic slices. )
Because of its good quality and low price, Xuwen's mutton porridge shop is busy from around 9 pm every day. Diners include men and women, young people and middle-aged and elderly people. Many of them often order a few fried dough sticks when eating mutton porridge and mutton soup, which makes them more delicious.
