Earlier this year, we travelled to Seoul, a city shaping the global conversation about food and culture.
Over three days, we immersed ourselves in its food and cultural spaces. From hidden basement kitchens to intimate sessions with renowned chefs, each moment revealed a deeper understanding of how Korean food is crafted and shared
What we discovered was unforgettable, bold flavours and techniques rooted in memory and tradition.
Now we invite you to experience it.
Each course tells a story, inspired by the people, places and flavours that stayed with us long after we left.

Now, we bring the Seoul experience to you.
SNack 1
Godmother of Korean Cuisine - Cho Hee Sook
story of the dish
Inspired by cooking with renowned Kimchi master Cho Hee Sook, this dish explores the depth and complexity of Korea’s most iconic staple. The highlight is Ssam, a traditional style of dining where each bite is wrapped and assembled by hand. Rooted in balance, contrast and individuality, it captures the shared spirit of Korean food in a form that feels personal every time.
SNack 2
A Goong
story of the dish
A reflection of Agoong Bakery, where Western techniques meet Korean flavour. Here, we explore a savoury focaccia infused with seaweed and sweet nori, bringing a subtle umami depth to a familiar favourite. Soft, pillowy and rich in flavour, it captures how Korean ingredients can transform everyday formats into something unexpected.
COURSE 1
Cho Yoonsun’s Hand Cut Noodles
story of the dish
Inspired by Cho Yonsoono of Gwangjang Market’s Gohyang Kalguksu stall featured on Netflix’s Street Food Asia, this course captures the comforting simplicity at the heart of Korean street food. Cooking alongside her, the team experienced the care and generosity behind each bowl, from hand cut noodles to rich, nourishing broth. Rooted in tradition and family, it’s a dish that feels both humble and deeply satisfying.
COURSE 2
Bibimbap
story of the dish
Our homage to the Andongjip Son Kalguksi, a much loved noodle stall run by Lee Mi-ryeong (often referred to as “Auntie Omakase” and recognised from the show Culinary Class Wars). Located in the basement food court of Seoul’s Gyeongdong Market, it’s a beloved spot for rustic home-style cooking. Their Bibimpab celebrates freshness, flavour and the comforting simplicity of everyday Korean dining.
COURSE 3
Bindaetteok from Gwangjang Market
story of the dish
Meet one of Seoul’s most famous street snacks: bindaetteok. The one you will taste is inspired by the legendary stall “Soonheenae Bindaetteok”, where mung beans are ground fresh and fried into crisp golden pancakes. The vendor’s story reflects Korean resilience and entrepreneurial spirit. After relocating to Seoul from North Korea during the war, she built her reputation through a single, perfected recipe. We experienced this dish for breakfast, served simply with home made soy sauce and paired with Chilsung Cider.
COURSE 4
From Nico, For Seoul
story of the dish
Inspired by time spent cooking with Chef Lee Suboo at Garak-dong Agricultural & Fish Market, we were introduced to the foundations of Korean food philosophy from the use of medicinal ingredients to deeply rooted dining traditions. Following breakfast, we were invited to his restaurant, South of the River, to create a dish inspired by our experience. Selecting ingredients directly from the market, we combined Korean pantry staples, fermentation techniques, and our own cultural influences to develop a collaborative dish.
COURSE 5
Korean Fried Chicken
story of the dish
No Korean food journey is complete without its iconic fried chicken, a cornerstone of Seoul’s late-night dining culture. Here, we explore the crispy, golden favourite, coated in bold, punchy flavours and designed for sharing. It embodies the addictive crunch and lively spirit of Korean comfort food.
COURSE 6
Doughnuts & Matcha
story of the dish
Inspired by the cafés of Bukchon Hanok Village, where traditional Korean architecture meets modern dessert culture, we discovered delicate doughnuts paired with matcha. The combination offers a sweet finale, capturing Seoul’s balance of heritage and contemporary indulgence.
