Cranky Domestic Goddess

YP and I went to Dong Bei Hu at Museokatu 29 in Helsinki for dinner a few evenings ago. Boy, was I glad we went there because the food was excellent. It’s not any typical Chinese cuisines especially tailored made for the finns - it’s PURE and ORIGINAL northern China style cooking!!! We had Chinese sour cabbage casserole and kung po chicken in cubes. They were exactly the taste I hoped for. I must say this is the only restaurant in Helsinki that serves typical far eastern taste.

The lady owner, Lisa, is warm and friendly. We had excellent customer service. In fact, she is a very honest person. I ordered Peking style hot and sour soup for appetizer. She reminded me that the cabbage casserole comes with soup. So, she told me it’s not necessary for the soup! Wow! Can you imagine that?!

Another thing they defer from the rest is that instead of serving plain tap water, they serve hot jasmine tea in a pot! What’s more?! It’s free!!! If you’re heading to Helsinki and having a crave for pure authentic northern Chinese food, try out Dong Bei Hu, ok?! The price range per dish is the standard 12-13euros - ala carte. They also serve lunch which includes soup of the day, main course, water and tea or coffee. It’s priced at an affordable 7.60euros. YP told me that it comes with a huge portion. Now, I can’t wait to try their lunch!
