A Chinese man brings local dishes reganmian and hot pot to Rovaniemi, Finland, becoming the first Chinese to open a restaurant in the Arctic Circle. Hu Liang, from Central China’s Hubei province, moved to Finland after graduation at the age of 21. Twelve years on, he has seen more and more Chinese tourists visiting the country to enjoy the winter holiday, Aurora Borealis, and of course, the purported home of Santa Claus.
“Chinese people are becoming richer and more international. But what has not changed is their stomachs. So I made the decision to open the restaurant.” Hu’s restaurant serves reganmian, a traditional Wuhan noodle dish with spicy flavor and a sesame paste dressing, as well as Chinese hotpot. He orders food materials from Chinese trade corporations through e-commence platforms and offers e-payment popular among Chinese people such as Alipay.
At a price of 15 euro ($18.45), a bowl of reganmian is not only a great comfort for Chinese tourists who have traveled from thousands of miles away, but also an attraction to local Finns. In Rovaniemi, with a population of around 60,000, Hu receives more than 300 guests in the peak season to present people a hot, spicy experience in the cold, snowy country. People compliment that the dishes not only satisfy their stomachs, but also warm their hearts.
