Soil to Soul is a place that peaked my interest. A creative Korean restaurant that serves vegetarian dishes. No meat can be found. Price isn't the cheapest in town but if they were able to create vegetarian dishes that were not just variations of salad, I was interested.The restaurant, located in K11 Musea. The place is spacious but there is a huge center bar table with the seating arranged around it, making it all feel so zen-like.During lunch, they have a lunch set menu and a lunch tasting men
The restaurant, located in K11 Musea. The place is spacious but there is a huge center bar table with the seating arranged around it, making it all feel so zen-like.
During lunch, they have a lunch set menu and a lunch tasting menu. Menu is in English and Chinese. I decided to go with the lunch set menu and chose the main with two veggie dishes for $288.
The meal starts with an amuse bouche. This was a vegetable terraine and a salad.
The vegetable terrrain was stewed varying colored lettuce with a broad bean sauce. Interesting. The sauce had a strong starchy taste that went well with the soft sweet lettuce.
The salad was fresh with light dressing.
Then the vegetable dishes arrived.
This is the deep fried dumplings. It came with a sweet and sour dipping sauce.
The wrapping was crisp. Inside was filled with tofu and mixed vegetables.
My other vegetable was an eggplant roll with mixed veggies and chilli paste. Beautiful plating. There was a bit of mayo on the side. The eggplant was delicious and had a slight spicy kick to it as it was flavored with the chilli sauce.
My main was a jajangmyeon. The noodles were chewy and smooth. The sauce was rich. But most interesting is the added various types of mushrooms to substitute the meat portion of this traditional noodle dish.
It also came with a side of spicy pickled cucumbers just to liven things up.
The ending of the meal was Korean Delighted Petite Four and Sweet Drink.
The petite four was a cake made from dates and a soymilk cream on top. Not too sweet and very moist.
The sweet drink was a rice drink. This was a lot different than the Japanese amazake I'm used to. This was not as sweet.
Definitely an interesting experience from the usual salad. Plating was done well. Food was delicious. Service was good. Would probably return.
