Laomenkuang Baodu

The predecessor of Laomenkuang Baodu (Quick-scalded Tripe) was a small stall — "Ren's Quick-scalded Tripe" opened by Ren Man, who came from Shandong Province, at Menkuang Lane, Dashilar, Beijing, in 1910. Ren Man was a simple and honest man. He provided genuine goods at fair prices. Plus his excellent skills in cooking Quick-scalded Tripe and unique ingredients, the restaurant won praise from many customers. In 1943, Ren Man opened the first shop in Menkuang Hutong, with the plaque named "Menkuang Quick-scalded Tripe". In the 1990s, State Councillor Song Jian often visited "Menkuang Quick-scalded Tripe" and wrote an inscription "Laomenkuang Quick-scalded Tripe". Since then, "Menkuang Quick-scalded Tripe" has been officially renamed as "Laomenkuang Quick-scalded Tripe".
Laomenkuang Quick-scalded Tripe had been managed by four generations of successors. Its Quick-scalded Tripe technique and operation concept have been inherited and innovated continuously. The second generation of successor RenXianwen developed 13 types of Quick-scalded Tripe. The third generation of successor RenHongsheng introduced special snacks such as Meat Sesame Seed Cakes and Fried Loose Meat. The fourth generation of successor Song Jun added thin slices of mutton for boiling in a hot pot to the menu of Laomenkuang Quick-scalded Tripe.
