Hasung Lee X Bawi pasta bar X Perigee
Seoul, Korea
I wanted to be more planner, advisor, or a bridge to connect both restaurants since I don’t really have pasta background experience. These restaurants are currently the most popular pasta restaurants and the most difficult to make reservations restaurants as well. When Chef Hyunjung first contacted me to do pop up myself at his restaurant, bawi pasta bar, I rejected. There was no reasons I do it myself at the bar counter restaurant. Something popped in my mind. Chef Honggeun and Gayoung at Perigee are my long time relationship friends and they opened their first restaurant few months ago. What if these two serve pasta together?
I suggested, both liked it. However, it would have not worked without me, both said. I led the team. We didn’t have much time. 2 days events. 1 day at Perigee, and another day at Bawi pasta bar. 6 courses serving.
it was tough. it ain’t easy to gather all, plan, educate, develop, and etc. not easy at all.

Day 1
We did lunch and dinner service and tried to have as many guests as possible because people had thirst about something good.
-
day 2
the restaurant is small and has a limit to have a number of guests. We started service from 3pm until late night.
-
Food
They are known for fresh pasta. I learned how difficult to control water content which effects to final result and other things.
