Pyongyang, N.Korea: The Samtaeseong restaurant opened in the isolated communist country last month in cooperation with a Singaporean company, according to the Tokyo-based Choson Sinbo. The Singaporean company, which the newspaper did not name, provided training to restaurant staff and supplied equipment.
The restaurant's interior appears to be styled after fast food joints the world over, but the menu is careful not to call its signature fare a hamburger - lest it give the impression North Koreans had embraced the American icon.
Although you can't get a hamburger in Pyongyang, "minced beef and bread" is now for sale at the North Korean capital's first fast food restaurant, a news report said on Saturday.
North Korea's authoritarian government is concerned that outside influences could undermine the regime.
