🇰🇷 People who know me know I love Korea, and that extends to their foods. A few years back my sister brought me to my first Korean fine dining experience at Hansik Goo, and I absolutely loved it. This time she booked this extremely hard to book, talk of the town MOSU (lucky me 😉).
.
🥘 To begin with, the style here is very different from that of Hansik Goo, as this place feels a lot more like Western fine dining with twists of Korean elements, but the experience was certainly interesting. There were many dishes, so I’m mainly going to focus on the outstanding dishes that I liked, and some that wasn’t really the thing for me.
.
🍢 All the small bites were quite good, but the two that were particular outstanding was the scallop on top of very fine and smooth potato salad with a potato like crispy base. Another one was the abalone taco of which the abalone texture was so supple, I also liked the perilla leaf flavour that was blended in. The next dish, matcha tofu and sea urchin in dashi was very tasty and the tofu was very fine, whereas the sea urchin was fresh and whole dish worked well!
.
🎏 Both the fish dishes were very different but both very skillfully produced. The rockfish was silky smooth, though lacked fish flavour, but the Jinhua ham porridge was delicious, and felt like a blend of Korean and Chinese porridge. The mackerel was marvelous too, with a slight smoky flavour, and both the strawberry sauce and brown butter tomato sauce were amazing too!
.
🍝 For a carbs lover like myself the acorn noodles was one of my favourites. Served with a lot of black truffles on top and a creamy truffle flavoured sauce mixed with acorn noodles. Basically this is a pasta dish but substituting fresh pasta with fresh acorn noodles. Phenomenal dish!
.
🥩 The mains didn’t really excite me very much. I didn’t think the venison nor the beef was particular amazing. The beef was tender and cooked well, but didn’t have too much beefy flavour. The venison dish was alright, but the coffee sauce was very strong and interesting, it managed to override the gamy flavour from the venison.
.
🥦 Added one an extra dish which was a broccoli rice of which the broccoli was chargrilled slow cooked for 5 hours before being chopped and mixed together with 3 types of Korean rice. Personal opinion - this dish was not worth the time and some of the rice was hard and stuck to my teeth.
.
🍨 I liked the desserts overall apart from the almond mouse like pudding. It was awfully sweet and the almond flavour was WAY too strong. It reminded me of the hand cream rubbed onto my hands after my manicure when I was a kid.
.
🫶 There’s a current hype at the moment to dine at this restaurant, but honestly is it all that great? Well, I only truly enjoyed a few of the dishes, and what’s more, I find it really pricey 💰
