"This Spring, a Sicilian Gourmet Journey" CJ Foodville The Place, New Menu Launch

[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] CJ Foodville’s ‘The Place’ announced on the 7th that it will launch a new menu featuring representative Sicilian dishes from Italy on the 8th.

The Place has set the concept of its new menu lineup this year as an ‘Italian Gourmet Journey,’ selecting a representative Italian city each season and reinterpreting local dishes in The Place’s unique style. The first destination of this gourmet journey is Sicily. Sicily, located in the southwestern tip of Italy, is the largest island in the Mediterranean and is famous for its various seafood dishes from the Mediterranean Sea.

The new menu item, ‘Cuttlefish Red Pesto Pasta,’ is an oil pasta combining fresh and chewy cuttlefish with a tomato-based pesto. The ‘Italian Seafood Pizza’ is topped with savory scallops, cuttlefish, arugula, and dried tomatoes arranged in the shape of the Italian tricolor flag. The ‘Crunchy Polpo’ features tender octopus harmonized with spicy chipotle sauce and topped with cheese chips to create a crispy texture.

The traditional Sicilian dessert ‘Cannoli’ offers a unique taste with a crispy exterior and a cold, rich mascarpone cheese cream filling. New refreshing drinks that pair well with the cool Mediterranean sea, such as ‘Blood Orange Ade,’ ‘Shine Muscat & Green Grape Ade,’ and ‘Lemon Ade,’ are also introduced.

The Place has also prepared a promotional event to celebrate the new menu launch. Customers who add The Place’s KakaoTalk Plus Friend channel will receive one free ade drink.
