CHINESE MAGIC, ALSO AVAILABLE IN GEORGIA!

Nobody would think that Peking Duck could be as popular in Georgia as khinkali (Georgian dumplings), but it seems Chinese cuisine has entered Georgia without a problem and mystical-looking restaurants with dragon paintings have become a favorite dining spot for many Tbilisians.

One of the reasons for this favorable attitude is that the Chinese cook their dishes with the same care and seriousness as Georgians do theirs. There is a difference, though: all four culinary schools of China (divided according to their provinces) are oriented not just on taste but also on the healthiness of food. There is a similarity between southern Chinese and Megrelian dishes: both are mercilessly spicy. The Chinese consider their spices to be aphrodisiacs and believe they help improve people’s mood. And happy people are healthy people!

Like Georgians, the idea of “snacks” is foreign to Chinese people. The eating process is a ritual; a part of the culture. We all know the accurately cut and meticulously cooked products in Chinese restaurants. This is done to minimize discomfort and increase pleasure during the meal. Just like Georgian cuisine, Chinese cuisine puts an emphasis on a great number of ingredients and the cooking process. The result is exotic, unusual tasting dishes and a peaceful atmosphere. This is what attracts fans to the Chinese restaurants.

The Chinese restaurants in Tbilisi have a way of preparing their dishes so that they are light, nutritious and healthy. The choice is wide: fish, meat, seafood, salads and, of course, rice, tea and ginseng vodka. The interior is traditional: decorated with Chinese paintings, fans and gods. Chinese restaurants also allow their customers to take part in the cooking process. You can even have a photo taken of yourself with the chef in the kitchen.
