There is much love for Korean cuisine, from Netflix’s Chef’s Table episode with Jeong Kwan  to the city’s first makgeolli-themed restaurant . And come July, chef Vicky Cheng of Vea will be feeding Hong Kong’s obsession when Seoul’s celebrated chef Jungsik Yim of restaurant Jungsik will be arriving in Hong Kong for a rare two-night collaboration dinner event.

 Ranking 25th in this year’s list of Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants, Jungsik is considered the new breed of Hansik, or Korean cuisine. The establishment’s unique culinary execution fuses traditional Korean techniques with local and seasonal ingredients, presenting different forms of familiar flavours.
