The first one to recommend is the Lion's House on Wenchangge Street in Yangzhou, which has a long history and is well known. The signature dish here, the lion's head, is a must-try for everyone. The spherical lion's head is made from at least four kinds of chopped pork and is so flavorful that it melts in your mouth without being greasy at all.
The second recommendation is Lion House on Wenhui Street in Yangzhou's Guangling District, where the specialty - colorful shredded eel - is also a delicacy not to be missed. The shredded eel is divided into five sections, dyed with five colors of rapeseed, and then tossed with a variety of vegetables, bean skins, fungus and other ingredients for a colorful and rich taste.
The third place worth trying is Lion House in Ganjiang District, Yangzhou City, where the signature dish, Dongpo Pork Casserole, is a favorite of many diners. Fatty but not greasy pork and fresh lotus root are stewed in a high broth, making it aromatic and delicious.
All in all, there are many lion houses in Yangzhou, each with its own unique specialties, so if you want to taste the best you'll have to go and taste it yourself.
