[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] Seoul Dragon City announced on the 8th that it will open a new Chinese restaurant, 'FEI 페이,' on the 2nd floor of the Grand Mercure on the 11th to strengthen its competitiveness in the food and beverage sector.

'FEI 페이,' meaning 'to soar,' is a contemporary Chinese dining experience aiming for an elevated culinary journey. It presents an original Chinese cuisine by adding a modern touch to authentic Chinese recipes. Led by Chef Yuk Hyang-seong, who has worked as a Cantonese Chinese cuisine specialist for over 30 years and previously at Walkerhill Hotel & Resort's 'Geumryong,' about 15 chefs are responsible for operating 'FEI 페이.' Including Chef Yuk, the team consists of chefs of Chinese-Korean and Hong Kong origins.

The main dishes are 'Peking Duck' and 'Dim Sum.' They also highlight dishes such as 'Hong Kong-style seafood vermicelli hot pot,' a glass noodle dish made with fresh seafood, and 'Year-round shrimp in chili oil with tomato sauce.' Reflecting Chef Yuk's philosophy of 'Uishik Dongwon (醫食同源 - medicine and food share the same origin),' the dishes at 'FEI 페이' are composed of nourishing foods made from rare ingredients.

Guests can enjoy a variety of dishes ranging from ? la carte to full-course meals. Lunch is served daily from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM, and dinner from 6:00 PM to 9:30 PM. The main dining hall has a total of 48 seats, and there are also 10 private dining rooms. These private rooms vary in size from 4-person to 20-person rooms, making them suitable for small events such as first birthday parties.

A representative of Seoul Dragon City stated, "Customer demand for hotel dining has increased following COVID-19, and in response, we have proactively prepared since last year to launch the Chinese restaurant 'FEI 페이.' With the opening of 'FEI 페이,' Seoul Dragon City now operates a total of 12 food and beverage outlets, establishing itself as a gourmet destination encompassing Korean, Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisines. We will continue to do our best to strengthen our competitiveness."

Meanwhile, Seoul Dragon City has been continuously enhancing its food and beverage sector since its opening in November 2017. It opened the Japanese restaurant 'Unkai' in July last year and appointed Lee Min, former CEO of Haevichi Hotel & Resort and the first domestic executive chef, as the food and beverage general manager in February.
