Warming up for my trip to Seoul later this month with the latest menu at @hansikgoo by new head chef @sh.park0103! The menu was full of warming dishes such as the pine nut soup with crab meat and handmade mandu with Korean beef soup - perfect for the chilly weather. My favorites were the abalone with pear, grilled gochujang fish, and chicken roulade with mushroom. Congratulations @mingleseoul on your new cookbook “JANG” and thanks for the copy!

Chef Mingoo Kang manages to strike a fine balance between refined and comfort food—and that’s well worth mentioning. I love how he showcases, through technique, Korean cuisine at its most elegant, while still maintaining a certain accessibility, even intimacy. I learned so much about Korean ingredients and their delicate flavours from eating his food.

A few weeks ago, I dined at Hansik Goo (HK) and had the pleasure of flipping through Chef Kang’s latest cookbook. It featured recipes that were delicious, yet seemingly easy to replicate at home. Almost all the dishes that I was eating were in the book; so in theory—I thought to myself—anyone could “easily” prepare them at home by simply following the instructions to the tee. For me, I think I’d prefer to plumb the book for the underlying principles of Korean cuisine, then “play” with techniques and ingredients.

It is my impression that the HK dining public seem to desert restaurants when a chef change occurs . I hope that this doesn’t occur with Hansik Goo as excellence will remain very much in its pedigree .
The lunch menu here is very similar to dinner with the portion sizes just minimised a little , it is well balanced , nutritious and there is no need for an afternoon food nap .
Kicking things off is Pine nut juk with crab - creamy and fresh , it’s a lovely balanced start .

The lunch menu here is very similar to dinner with the portion sizes just minimised a little , it is well balanced , nutritious and there is no need for an afternoon food nap .
Kicking things off is Pine nut juk with crab - creamy and fresh , it’s a lovely balanced start .
A duo of raw fish follows , Amberjack is paired with caviar whilst Mackerel and kimchi form a great duo .
A crystal clear beef and radish soup with Mantou dumpling is warming and wholesome .
The gochujang glazed silver pomfret is perfectly cooked , a side of garlic chives and surf clam adds some freshness to the piquancy.
Scallion Pajeon is superbly crisp and the umami from the dried seafood carries the course .
Hanwoo meatball is Kofta - like and terrifically juicy , pork neck is fatty in the best way and there is plenty of kimchi and rice to round out the flavours.
A great take on Crème brûlée to end the meal , with vanilla ice cream encrusted with pecans . Less

So good I had to order two more bowls @steve_ouiiii @mingleseoul @mingles_restaurant #hansikgoo #minglesseoul #asias50best #theworlds50best #michelin #oadtop100 #hkchef #hkig
The two day collaboration event of @hansikgoo X @thechairmanrestauranthk in my mind was such a huge success. To say this could be THE colloboration of the year is probably not an exaggeration as most Asian countries are still restricting free travel or still in recovery mode, and so to have chef @mingleseoul in town and doing four hands in Hong Kong with the best Asian restaurant was so precious.

The two day collaboration event of @hansikgoo X @thechairmanrestauranthk in my mind was such a huge success. To say this could be THE colloboration of the year is probably not an exaggeration as most Asian countries are still restricting free travel or still in recovery mode, and so to have chef @mingleseoul in town and doing four hands in Hong Kong with the best Asian restaurant was so precious.
The food was arguably some of the best food I ever had among four hands events I had attended, and very meaningful as a whole with all dishes demonstrating crossing over of Korean and Chinese cuisines. There are many similar aspects in the two cuisines we got to experience that night. For instance, the two teams delivered many fermented elements in the dishes that are all different yet worked in harmony, there were no overlap in flavor profile along the meal. This is how a collaboration dinner should be, with dishes that showcase collaborative thinking and cooking, a meal cooked in one kitchen as one team. Many “collaborations” are just menu that put dishes of each restaurant together, that is two kitchens presenting food to one table, not collaborative in my sense.
Most importantly I think this event is a significant milestone for the Asian F&B community as a kickoff to get back to the norm. We have been in idle for close to two years due to Covid, and while many countries are still coping with pandemic at the moment, somehow someway we need to get the ball rolling again. And here we began, to have a collaboration with cross country chefs and teams working together. We met a lot of the friends and chefs in the industry, eg 3 star chef Bombana, chef Matt of Yardbird, Chef Ricardo and Chef Agustin of Mono and Ando, Chef Eric of Arbor, Culinary Legend Dai C Jie and Choi Lan, the night before Chef Richard of Amber, were all presented in the event as diners. The feeling of reunion was so obvious, the sense of unity was so strong. It was such a nice feeling that we have not had for a long time.
Once again congratulations to the two teams, two my of favorite chefs in the world, two of my favorite restaurants in HK. It was a huge to have joined the event. Less
(SWIPE FOR MORE PICS) I really enjoyed my meals at Mingles and Hansik Goo. I have always thought of the food by Chef Mingoo to be a bit more than just flavor. His sense to flavor and his sensibility to seasons made his food almost poetic (perhaps when I dined there it was autumn so this feeling was even stronger). In Mingles he provided sophistication but also showed no boundaries in his interpretation of traditional Korean flavors and dishes.

(SWIPE FOR MORE PICS) I really enjoyed my meals at Mingles and Hansik Goo. I have always thought of the food by Chef Mingoo to be a bit more than just flavor. His sense to flavor and his sensibility to seasons made his food almost poetic (perhaps when I dined there it was autumn so this feeling was even stronger). In Mingles he provided sophistication but also showed no boundaries in his interpretation of traditional Korean flavors and dishes.
If Mingles is about how far Korean cuisine can go in Chef Mingoo’s free expression, then Hansik Goo is about how going further back to real Korean cuisine. Hansik Goo is not a less pricy version of Mingle nor entry level to fine dining in Korean cuisine. Better ingredients, homemade jang and fermentation, meticulous execution even for causal dining. Just like Chef Mingoo always does, dynamic flavors of Korean cuisines became refined without losing impact, home cooking became elevated without compromise on satisfaction, contemporary touches demonstrated creativity without sacrificing authenticity. I don’t think there is similar kind of Korean restaurant in Hong Kong let alone same level.
In both restaurants I could feel the effort of Chef Mingoo and his team in (re)introducting traditional Korean cuisines and flavors as well as cooking technique and approaches. I found myself very inspired to learn deeper and broader on different aspects of Korean cuisine. I am still a novice and I felt I was not able to completely capture the essence of his and other chef’s cooking when I was in Seoul (so sorry 🙇♀️🙏🏻), but it just made me feel even more motivated to learn more.
Thank you again Chef Mingoo and Steve for such the opportunity to try your food while you were in Hong Kong. I had learnt so much just by eating there. It was a celebration of new restaurant, new Korean cuisine in Hong Kong, and precious friendship. Less

This is a seasonal summer dish (so only for now) and Chef Mingoo made this for us in another visit as a new alternative to Bibim-Guksu. When I saw it I joked Is this Korean Carbonara? 😆 Of course it is not, but a cold noodle with soy milk broth, soy sauce and soy beans (so soy trio), topped with grated sesame seeds. The soup was thicker like a sauce (See pic 2) but some versions... More

The soup was thicker like a sauce (See pic 2) but some versions are light like a light soy milk broth. It was absolutely amazing! The flavor was really very soy but rich and wholesome. So easily slurped clean and very filling. It also belongs to Temple Cuisine which makes it even more special
