@roganichongkong x @gigas_seoul

When two of Asia’s most sustainability-focused restaurants came together to celebrate seasonality, regenerative agriculture, and ingredient-led cooking! Recognized for its sustainability approach alongside its contemporary cuisine, GIGAS is the only restaurant to hold both a Michelin Star and a Green Star in Seoul. Chef @jung.hawan sources the majority of his produce from Wani Farm - his family’s organic farm in Gunpo.

Though located in different cities, the two restaurants share a similar philosophy where vegetables, herbs, and carefully-sourced produce take center stage. Working closely with farmers and producers, both create menus that shift with the seasons and honor the land that feeds them. Favorites included the beetroot with passion fruit sabayon, seaweed pudding, asparagus with hen’s yolk, and red snapper with pil pil sauce.

Fresh Celtuce and Ama Ebi shrimp with peanut, bronze fennel, chilli oil, lemon mousseline, toasted bread

Beetroot, arugula, passionfruit sabayon, red onion
