Grand Hyatt Jeju Japanese Restaurant 'Yumeyama' within Jeju Dream Tower Complex Resort.

[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] The hotel industry is successively unveiling seasonal health foods and delicacies such as cold noodles, min-eo soup, and samgyetang to help beat the summer heat.

According to the hotel industry on the 11th, Chosun Hotel & Resort launched three new products?'Chosun Hotel Chinese-style Cold Noodles,' 'Chosun Hotel Cream Shrimp,' and 'Chosun Hotel Samgyetang'?through SSG.com to help customers forget the scorching summer heat and replenish their nutrition.

'Chosun Hotel Chinese-style Cold Noodles' is a premium ready-to-eat meal designed so that customers can enjoy the taste of the Chinese-style cold noodles from Chosun Hotel’s signature Chinese restaurant 'Hongyeon' at home. It features a harmonious blend of the clean taste of chicken broth and the refreshing flavor of dongchimi (radish water kimchi) broth. Various seafood toppings such as carrot, egg, shrimp, squid, and jellyfish are included. Pouring the broth with ice shards over the chewy noodles adds a light flavor, making it a perfect summer delicacy. The Chinese-style cold noodles come in a 2-serving size (1135g).

'Chosun Hotel Cream Shrimp' captures the crispy yet chewy texture of fried shrimp combined with the tangy and smooth flavor of cream sauce perfected by Hongyeon’s expertise. It can be easily cooked using a fryer or air fryer. The sauce should be thawed naturally at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving. Adding lettuce, salad, or fresh fruits and nuts according to preference enhances the texture. The cream shrimp is available in a 1-2 serving size (380g).

'Chosun Hotel Samgyetang' is prepared by simmering domestic chicken, jujube, glutinous rice, and fresh ginseng in broth infused with neungi mushrooms and ginger. It can be enjoyed by warming it in a double boiler or conveniently using a microwave. Made with domestic No. 45 samgye chicken, it features fresh and chewy meat, and includes domestic glutinous rice and mung beans, making it a hearty health food. Samgyetang is offered in a single serving size (900g). To celebrate the launch, all three products are available at a 20% discount on SSG.com until the 15th.

Haevichi Hotel & Resort’s Korean restaurant 'Suwun,' located in Jongno-gu, Seoul, is running a 'Bokdalim Promotion' until July 31, featuring dishes made with seasonal health ingredients such as min-eo (croaker fish) and eel. Min-eo is considered a premium fish and a representative health food for summer. Min-eo caught in summer before spawning is rich in flesh, nutritious, and delicious. Suwun’s 'Min-eo Soup' is characterized by its deep flavor, achieved by simmering min-eo sourced from Mokpo and Sinan with vegetables for a long time. It can be enjoyed as a clear soup highlighting the natural taste of min-eo or as a spicy soup with Suwun’s special seasoning.

They also offer 'Grilled Freshwater Eel.' Freshwater eel in summer contains protein, omega-3, and unsaturated fatty acids, making it a highly nutritious food. Suwun’s grilled freshwater eel is first partially grilled, then brushed with a mildly spicy and sweet Suwun special sauce while grilling, which eliminates the characteristic smell of freshwater eel and enhances its savory flavor. Samgyetang is also available. Suwun’s samgyetang features a milky and thick broth made by boiling roasted pine nuts for a long time and finely grinding them into the soup.

Lotte Tour Development is running a promotion with discounted alcoholic beverages and new modern izakaya menu items at 'Yumeyama,' the Japanese restaurant in Grand Hyatt Jeju within the Jeju Dream Tower complex resort, perfect for enjoying Jeju nights until late.
