Cuisine.K is a South Korea project that discovers promising talents in Korean food and cultivates them into young chefs who can promote Korean cuisine on a global level – and they’ve now come to Hong Kong. From now until June 28, head to Hanu in Wan Chai to try their eight-course dinner menu ($880 per head) that features innovative usages of traditional Korean sauces. From delicate bites of myeongin amuse-bouche to start and savoury buckwheat noodles in hapjajang sauce, the menu is bursting with pickled, fermented, and fresh flavours that diners might not easily taste outside of Korea.
Choose between ganjang gejang soy-marinated crabs or gochujang marinated duck as the mains, before moving onto hanwoo Korean beef, and finally finishing with two types of dessert. Diners can also opt for the lunch menu ($380) instead, which consists of three courses and dessert, but still includes much of the flavours and innovation of the dinner selections.
