The Lotte Hotel chef team headed to Switzerland to prepare the banquet for the '2023 Davos Korea Night' event.

On the 20th, Lotte Hotel announced that its chefs prepared the banquet for the 2023 Davos Korea Night event held by the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry on the 18th (local time) at the Ameron Hotel in Davos, Switzerland. A total of 13 skilled chefs, including Kim Song-gi, the executive chef of Lotte Hotel, were selected from each chain to participate.

At this event, which was held to promote Korea and Korean culture and to create a place for exchange between Korean businesspeople and global business leaders, Lotte Hotel showcased more than 30 elegant yet restrained Korean dishes, captivating the taste buds and eyes of over 300 global leaders from politics and business who attended. The food was served in finger food style through buffet and tray service so that leaders from various countries could enjoy it lightly.

The menu embodied the charm and taste of Korea. Using a traditional lacquered mother-of-pearl gujeolpan brought from Korea, fresh milssam (wheat wrap) was made on the spot and served, along with bite-sized dishes such as tteokgalbi skewers, braised beef short ribs, dakgangjeong (sweet crispy fried chicken), and traditional bibimbap.

It was explained that the best flavors were faithfully reproduced using domestic ingredients. Dishes included 'seafood salad' made with seaweed from Gijang, Busan, expressing hopes for the Busan Expo bid, 'seafood pine nut juice salad' using seafood from the southern coast, Dongnae-style pajeon (green onion pancake), sungchae mandu (vegetable dumplings), traditional bibimbap, and dubu kimchi (tofu with kimchi), which is a specialty of Busan.

The banquet drinks included Omirouge sparkling wine made from omija berries produced domestically and makgeolli, while desserts featured dried persimmon rolls, tangerine rice crackers, and assorted traditional Korean sweets.
