Though the world’s eyes have been turned to the PyeongChang Winter Olympics the past few weeks, it’s no question that Korean culture has already made its impact across the globe. From catchy pop music and the latest tech to compelling K-dramas and the most sought-after beauty products, we won’t deny how much we love what hallyu or the “Korean wave” has brought us.
But what we’re most grateful for is their cuisine. Broad and varied, the country’s colorful and exciting dishes will surely leave any foodie craving for more. Riding on this indulgent wave with the help of the Korean Cultural Center is Sofitel Philippine Plaza as they bring SEOUL-ful Gastronomy to their Korean atelier at Spiral from March 12 to 17.
The latest from the hotel’s Flavors of the World Series is set to put a modern spin on traditional delicacies and elevate the sumptuous offerings we’ve come to know and enjoy. Featuring the flavors and flair of Master Chef Hyeon Cheol Joo from Ibis Styles Ambassador Seoul Yongsan – Seoul Dragon City, check out the video below to see what guests can look forward to at this special culinary event.
