Note to self: when in Greenland, send out for Chinese food.
When you are in Greenland, don’t miss its loveliest town – Sisimiut. And when in Sisimiut, don’t miss Greenland’s special restaurant – Misigisaq! You will find Misigisaq Restaurant down in the atmospheric and historic port area (JM Jensenip Aqquserna), just where you disembark from your ship or where you enter town from the airport.
Misigisaq serves Greenlandic ingredients cooked in an authentic Chinese style – some of the best produce in the world cooked in the style of one of the world’s great cuisines.
By using a big variety of Greenlandic ingredients, Misigisaq’s cooks have added a new dimension to Chinese cuisine: Hot pots cooked on the table, popular in Beijing, in Sisimiut use Greenlandic lamb from Neqi (the national lamb supplier), which we cut into paper thin slices for fast cooking, with an option of adding caribou and musk ox meat. The Davis Strait Hotpot is a fondue packed with local seafood. The traditional rejuvenating Chinese herb, Heavenly Grass (a distant relative of the other type of hemp), is added to caribou in a clay pot. The Chinese vegetable suancai is cooked with cod to give a spicy flavour, as in Sichuan cooking. Fragrant and Spicy Snow Crabs is a dish based on cuisine in central China.
