Summer Health-Boosting Dishes Including Imjasutang by Korean Cuisine Master with 30 Years of Experience and Eel Menus
Additional Health Menus Offered by Each Section on July 11, the First Heat of Summer

[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] The buffet restaurant 'Grand Kitchen' at Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas announced on the 5th that it will offer summer health-boosting dishes prepared by Chef Lee Seong-ho, a Korean cuisine master with 30 years of experience, during the hot months of July and August.

On July 11, the first heat of summer (Chobok), special summer health menus such as spicy fried eel (Kkanpung Jangeo) and mango watermelon will be additionally offered by each section. On July 21 (Jungbok) and August 10 (Malbok), grilled eel will be individually served at customers' tables.

The hotel explained, "Chef Lee Seong-ho, a Korean cuisine specialist, has been invited to various Asian countries including Vietnam, Hong Kong, and Thailand to promote Korean cuisine widely. For this summer’s health menus, he personally prepared royal court health dishes such as Imjasutang, herbal duck baeksuk, eel soup, and abalone nutritious rice."

Known as a royal court restorative cold soup, 'Imjasutang' is made by boiling native Korean chicken, removing the meat, and simmering the broth thoroughly. Cold perilla seed broth made by grinding roasted whole sesame seeds is poured over it, and meatballs and shiitake mushrooms are added as garnishes, creating a savory and deep flavor. The 'Herbal Duck Baeksuk' is made by simmering native Korean duck with herbal ingredients such as astragalus, licorice, and ginseng in a pressure cooker. The 'Eel Soup' is refreshingly flavored with young radish greens and soybean paste, and the 'Abalone Nutritious Rice' includes Wando abalone, mushrooms, lotus root, and ginkgo nuts.

Meanwhile, from July 19, Grand Kitchen will additionally offer unlimited wine service every evening. For an extra 50,000 KRW per person, guests can enjoy unlimited red and white wines with different quarterly themes.

This Grand Kitchen summer health food promotion will run until August 31. Prices remain the same as before during the promotion period.
