Menu JUSEYO!

AS GEORGE BERNARD SHAW SAID, THERE IS NO LOVE MORE SINCERE THAN THE LOVE FOR FOOD, AND THE KOREANS CERTAINLY DO SEEM TO LIVE BY IT.

- Puja Talwar

K-Dramas have been a source of comfort for many during these trying times, bringing joy, entertainment and uniting people across continents and countries. The one star of every narrative, apart from the good-looking leads, is FOOD!

The shows are nothing less than mini food festivals of sorts, from the colourful ‘banchan’ served along with rice, to the assorted variety of stews, soups, grilled meats and barbeques that have left us craving for some Korean fare.

Korean Cuisine which has evolved through the years, follows the basic principles of eating in accordance with the seasons, using local and natural ingredients and simple cooking methods such as boiling, blanching, braising, pickling and fermentation so as to enhance the flavour of the food. Meals come with the basic arrangement of five colours or ‘Obangsaek’ blue, red, yellow, white and black which symbolise the five elements, wood, fire, earth, metal and water, and five flavours of hot, sweet, sour, salt and bitter.
