Hasung Lee at Ken (SURA 3.0)
Seoul, Korea
This was an event I wanted to show everything. I wanted to prove myself what I can do. I spent a good amount of time working with designers, a sommelier, farmers, music selection, local purveyors, a pastry chef, a photographer and etc. I designed this event with a long breath.
I focused on local and seasonal ingredients mostly specialized only in Korea and tried to show different techniques in various dishes. I really hope guests enjoyed their time with us. Most importantly, our team, friends and I wanted to make great memories together. Without them, support from lots of friends and family, advices from other chefs, it could not have happened. I sincerely thank all of you and guests.
