Korea on the tip of your tongue

김치

Melis Café & Caterng is back with a punch! After a lengthy break, on popular demand authentic Korean kimchi is again available. The fermentation process is the result of the combination of red pepper powder, garlic and salted baby shrimp. The secret sauce was handed over by my Korean landlady and have been respecting the method for years. So this is no fusion, it’s the real deal! 350 gr jar costs €10 but if you want to secure your summer BBQ sides with a bigger batch, also 1 kg for €22 or 2 kg for €39 is available.

Send your order by e-mail to melissa@melis.fi or sms to 050-5434788 and we can sort out the logistical details.

Korean BBQ is famous – featuring samgyeopsal, grilled pork belly.

Whether you already are an experienced Korea traveller accustomed to the firy red pepper or a foodie acquainting yourself with the latest trends of the food world, I will create a holistic and authentic Korean ”omma sonmat” -experience. Dip your taste buds to the wonderful world of Korean flavors! In addition to such classics of Korean cuisine as kimchi, bibimbap and bulgogi, my repertoire includes many more delicacies.

”Omma” means ”mother” and ”sonmat” literally ”taste of hand”. If you want to describe the East Asian cuisines using female figures as a metaphor, Chinese cuisine would be a flashy opera diva and Japanese cuisine as a sophisticated and refined geisha. Korean cuisine could be described as a warm and comforting mother’s lap: abundant, luscious and filled with love. Check out this video published on Youtube by a Korean online TV – it has already had nearly 1.5 million views!

Korea week was a great success!

To get Korea on the tip of your tongue, you can order catering or organize a cooking class with me. A Korean BBQ is a must experience, especially in the summer, and you can choose from a DIY or turnkey option. I also regularly make bigger batches of kimchi, so do get in touch and we can agree on a delivery.
