The 2018 Shanghai Michelin Guide was officially released today (9/20), in which Shanghai Xinzhuang branch of “Goose Lady,” a brand under Din Tai Fung on the mainland, has once again been awarded one Michelin star.

When the Goose Lady brand was first established, the team aimed to create truly delicious, Michelin-level roast goose. They specially selected black-brown geese as the main ingredient — a breed known for its small bones and plump meat, making it especially suitable for roast goose. The geese are raised and slaughtered at dedicated farms, ensuring freshness through immediate transport. Upon arrival at the store, they are marinated with a secret sauce, followed by multi-step processes including 360-degree air drying and baking, all while carefully controlling time, temperature, and humidity. Each day, custom-designed space-age ovens are used to roast the goose in shifts on-site.
