Zhu's Pork Stall Introduction
Walking into Jinshan Old Street, amidst the mix of old and new shops, you will find a store with a large red lantern at the entrance. This is Zhu's Old Shop, which has been around for over seventy years. The big stove at the entrance constantly fries delicious "buro" from the moment the shop opens each day, a recipe that has been meticulously developed and improved over three generations of the Zhu family. The large red lantern at the shop's entrance has become a new landmark for Zhu's; when visiting Jinshan Old Street, seeing the lantern lit means that the hot "buro" is officially on sale. Zhu's has a legacy of master chef skills that dates back to the Japanese occupation, as they started their snack business in the Jinshan area. According to the current owner, Zhu Cizhou, his grandmother's cooking was well known in the Jinshan area. Given that Jinshan Old Street is a commercial hub for surrounding villages, events such as weddings and celebrations are often held here, and they are always catered by his grandmother. The famous "buro," a necessary dish for these events, is a highlight of Jinshan's culinary scene.
