K-EVERYTHING
THE RISE OF KOREAN CUISINE
It's everywhere-music, television, film, and now, gastronomy. As the Hallyu wave continues to take the world by storm, Korean cuisine has followed suit, be it the intricacies of palace cuisine or the satisfying sear of Korean barbecue. If you need any indication that the K-food wave is coming on strong, just cast your gaze to Seoul, where the Asia's 50 Best Restaurants 2024 awards ceremony will be held this March. In the world of fine dining, Korean cuisine is already as important as its French or Japanese counterparts.
Take Hansik Goo in Hong Kong, which earned its one Michelin star in 2022, just two years after its opening. Its head chef Steve Lee also clinched the Young Chef Award at the Michelin Guide Ceremony Hong Kong and Macau 2023. Over in Singapore, renowned Korean steakhouse Cote by restaurateur Simon Kim opened in January at Como Orchard, joining the city's innovative Korean mainstays such as Meta and Naeum. The wave is already here, and we will be watching with interest to see where it goes-with some soju, of course.
