Available at the Grand Deli on the 1st floor of InterContinental Parnas, the 'Jeju Gu-eom Chicken Health Dish' and the 'Chomigak Korean Beef and Abalone Grilled Health Set' are health foods designed to help you stay healthy during the unprecedented heat wave forecasted for this summer.

The Jeju Gu-eom Chicken used in the health dish is named after the Gu-eom-ri area in Aewol-eup, Jeju City. This native Jeju chicken has well-developed wings and muscles, capable of flying up to 100 meters, and is especially famous for its chewy texture and mild flavor, offering a nutty taste the more you chew. Compared to other chicken breeds, it has higher protein content in the breast and leg meat and lower fat and cholesterol levels. The Gu-eom Chicken, which is difficult to prepare at home, is simmered for over 4 hours by the hotel’s Korean cuisine specialist chef in a broth made with various medicinal herbs and vegetables, presenting a savory and rich Samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup). Domestic abalone certified by ASC (Aquaculture Stewardship Council), live octopus, and Neungi mushrooms are cooked together to complete a healthier bowl.

The Chomigak Korean Beef and Abalone Grilled Health Set consists of premium grilled items selected by the InterContinental Parnas butcher master chef, including Chateaubriand and skirt steak, which are special cuts of Korean beef, ASC-certified domestic abalone, handmade herb butter, and patented low-sodium and low-calorie handmade sausages, all designed to help restore vitality.

The precious tenderloin, which weighs about 500g from a roughly 900kg Korean beef carcass, is called Chateaubriand, and the skirt steak is also a special cut weighing less than 1kg per carcass, known as one of the most tender parts when grilled. The set also includes two patented sausages: a low-sodium sausage with about 1/30th the salt content of regular sausages and a low-calorie sausage with about 1/10th the calories.

Both the Jeju Gu-eom Chicken Health Dish and the Chomigak Korean Beef and Abalone Grilled Health Set are sold in limited quantities of 100 each and can only be ordered through Naver pre-orders. Customers can specify the pickup date between July 8 and 11 and collect their orders at the Grand Deli.
