During my stay at @fsseoul, I had dinner at their Cantonese restaurant Yu Yuan which held a Michelin star from 2017-2021. Designed by @andrefustudio, the decor is inspired by the grandeur of 1920’s Shanghai - adorned with jade-colored walls and tasteful furniture. The restaurant has recently appointed a new head chef Kwok Wai To who hails from Hong Kong and has previously worked at 2* Imperial Treasure in Guangzhou. We had the chance to try the chef’s signature menu which combines traditional Cantonese cooking techniques with local Korean ingredients - resulting in intriguing dishes such as the bird’s nest soup with Jeju carrots, and the deep-fried sea cucumber stuffed with Hanwoo beef and served with Lao Gan Ma sauce!
