Creating a global desire, market for Shandong cuisine

When Gao Yingjie, a teacher at Yantai Vocational College of Culture and Tourism (YVCCT) in Shandong province, opened a Shandong cuisine restaurant in Norway back in 2015, he didn't expect it to be so popular.

Fushan Restaurant, offering such dishes as Chinese fried prawns, kung pao chicken, kung pao beef and assorted beef, was well-received in the Nordic nation.

Besides winning high praise from Norwegian statesmen, the restaurant has ranked first for many years in Google's ranking of local Chinese restaurants.
