Goubuli
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Goubuli (Chinese: 狗不理; pinyin: Gǒubùlǐ; literally "dogs wouldn't care") is a famous brand of baozi from Tianjin, China. Founded in 1858, it is one of China's longest established brands. Several explanations have been offered for its unusual name; perhaps the most common is that it comes from a childhood nickname of the founder, given to protect him from bad luck. According to tradition, the Empress Dowager Cixi was brought some Goubuli dumplings by an official returning from Tianjin and she pronounced them delicious, instantly adding to their fame.
As of 2005, the Goubuli brand is owned by the Chinese pharmaceutical company Tong Ren Tang.
