Vladivostok, November 20 (Xinhua) — The first Chinese restaurant, "Druzhba," recently opened in the Russian city of Anadyr. It operates on the hot pot principle, allowing guests to cook their own food. This was reported by the Chukotka news agency.
Chinese citizen Wu Shanhua founded the company "Druzhba" in Anadyr in March. The Chinese entrepreneurs are involved in precious metal mining in Chukotka. While exploring the region, they encountered a lack of familiar food and decided to expand their business.
Restaurant chef Tang Cao said that it was cold in Chukotka, so they chose the hot pot format, or, as they say in Russia, a “samovar.”
Restaurant manager Fan Gantao noted that the main challenge was organizing food supplies, which forced them to experiment with the menu. They added Chukchi venison, and plan to use other local products as well. Tofu, Chinese seasonings, and other specialty ingredients are imported from Moscow, where the entrepreneurs also operate a restaurant.
Anadyr is Russia's easternmost city and the administrative center of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. Most of the city's buildings rest on stilts due to permafrost.
