NAIROBITin Tin, a Chinese restaurant located in central Nairobi, has been serving local Kenyans for nearly four decades with its delicious dishes and unique cultural background.
"This is a restaurant definitely worth a try," said Steven, a local resident in his 30s. "It has provided Chinese food since my grandfather's time."
According to Henry Tin, the restaurant owner, Tin Tin was established in 1978 at the heart of the Nairobi Central Business District, upholding Chinese cuisines while adapting to Kenyan preferences.
For years, it has become a defining part of the city's landmarkKenya International Conference Centerattracting lots of office workers nearby and even presidential customers.
"The former president of Kenya, Moi, was a very good customer for us. He came almost always in cash. Then former president Mwai Kibaki and now president Uhuru. They all like to enjoy our food," Tin said.
Danis, an office worker of an insurance company near the KICC says he is a frequenter of the restaurant.
"It is the only Chinese restaurant in the highly competitive downtown area. Besides, its food has been adapted to our taste," Danis said, "My favorite dishes are fried shrimp and fried pork, which you can also find in a Kenyan restaurant."
"Highquality food consistently served over the decades has helped maintain loyal customers," Enoch Kivunaga said, at Tin Tin.
"My experience depends on the customers. If I cook good food, they always come back, whether they are presidents or ministers," he said.
Tin said he speaks Swahili well and perfectly pronounces local names, which shows the Chinese culture and its Kenyan counterpart are quickly combining. "I am a Kenyan Chinese. I love both great countries."
