BEIJING, Dec. 18 (Korea Bizwire) — A restaurant in Beijing visited by South Korean President Moon Jae-in has rolled out a dish set named after the leader, Chinese social media platform Weibo showed Monday.
The Yonghe Xianjiang restaurant, where Moon and his wife had breakfast on Thursday during his four-day state visit, started to sell the “Moon Jae-in Set” on Saturday.
The set menu is comprised of “youtiao,” or Chinese fried churros, Chinese “doujiang” soy milk, Chinese “xiaolongbao” steamed dumplings and Chinese “huntun” dumpling soup.
The restaurant displays a banner and a photo of the presidential visit.
Ele.me, China’s largest food delivery service, is also selling the package.
Following the launch of the new menu item by Yonghe Xianjiang, many Chinese people have posted messages and photos saying they have been to the restaurant and tasted the food.
According to Weibo, many Chinese internet users showed a positive response to the new meal, with some people saying, “The Moons seem to be people friendly,” and “I had the same set President Moon had and found it neat and delicious.”
Moon returned home wrapping up his first visit to China as president for a summit with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping.
