Guo Li Zhuang (Chinese: 鍋裏壯店; pinyin: Guō Lǐ Zhuàng Diàn; lit.
'the strength inside the pot') is a restaurant brand that specializes in dishes prepared from the genitals (penises and testicles) of male animals from a wide variety of species[1][2] such as horses, oxen, donkeys, dogs, deer, goats, sheep, and snakes.
[3] The first Guo Li Zhuang restaurant in Beijing was opened in November 2006.
[1] The dishes are supposed to include medicinal secrets passed down in the Guo family[3] and are often given poetic names such as "The Essence of the Golden Buddha," "Phoenix Rising," "Jasmine Flowers with 1,000 Layers", "Look for the Treasure in the Desert Sand",[1] "Head crowned with a Jade Bracelet", and "Dragon in the Flame of Desire".
[4] Beyond genitals, the restaurant also carries such curious (and rare) delicacies as stewed deer face, sheep foetus in brown garlic sauce, and peacock claws.
