The Okryu Restaurant, the best one of the eateries in the DPRK, has won greater fame for its Delicacy House.
Terrapin, sturgeon, quail, sinsollo and other rare and world-famous dishes are served in this restaurant and the number of dishes amounts to over 100.
Its well-experienced and skilful cooks prepare tasty dishes flawlessly to give delight to diners.
Terrapin dishes are diverse in kind including broth, stew, hard-boiled foods, fries and gruel, and they satisfy different tastes and nutritive value according to their processing methods.
“The main thing in preparing terrapin dishes is to remove unpleasant taste and ensure good flavouring. We are trying to preserve the original features of the dishes, while using subsidiary materials in a rational way according to different processing methods of broth, stew and hardboiled meat,” said O Su Bong, chef specializing in cooking terrapin dishes.
Terrapin broth, steamed terrapin and hard-boiled terrapin made with a whole terrapin or prepared by quartering it are a must for diners, together with terrapin blood liquor which has been regarded as a tonic since olden times.
Cook Ri Mun Thae said that cold boiled sturgeon is highly demanded by seasoning sturgeon chips with flavourings and spices, wrapping them in cellophane paper before steaming and freezing.
“Steamed terrapin and cold boiled sturgeon of our restaurant were registered as national signature dishes last May,” said manager Ri Sun Hyong.
A quail dish dining room is always crowded with people. It serves light brown oily roast quail, roast quail with steamed glutinous rice in it, where glutinous rice, carrot, mushroom and others match well, quail wonton soup boiled in the bone broth of quail and other quail dishes.
The restaurant has private dining room, traditional foods dining room, foreign dishes dining room, banquet hall, outdoor dining room and other dining rooms with different seating capacity.
The distinctive architectural style with Korean-style gabled roofs, wall water tank in which sturgeons leisurely swim and beautiful scenery of the Taedong River seen through large windows of dining rooms add pleasure to diners.
Hundreds of thousands of people have so far dined over the past 10 years at the Delicacy House of the Okryu Restaurant which was built under the meticulous care of Chairman Kim Jong Il.
