HANU announces a two-night collaboration with Chef Sung Si-woo of Seoul’s LÉGUME

 

A new wave of contemporary Korean dining destination at St. Regis Gardens, Palm Jumeirah, HANU announces a two-night collaboration with Chef Sung Si-woo of Seoul’s LÉGUME; South Korea’s only Michelin-starred plant-based restaurant.

On the 21 and 22 of May, you are invited to discover a 12-course Omakase experience where two philosophies of Korean cuisine meet: one defined by modern interpretations of tradition, the other by nature, seasonality and quiet refinement.

Since its opening, HANU has reimagined Korean dining in Dubai under the vision of Chef Kyung Soo Moon.

Rooted in tradition and executed with modern refinement, HANU celebrates Korea’s culinary heritage through storytelling and craftsmanship, anchored by its signature Korean charcoal grills.

His zero-waste philosophy and deep respect for seasonal produce are expressed in dishes such as:

Kumquat Stuffed filled with Waxy Corn and Olive Spread

Chickpea Gnocchi with Carrot Purée, Bracken, Miso-Marinated Brazil Nuts, and Chives

Yeast-Roasted Cauliflower with Potato Purée and Lemon

All ingredients used by Chef Sung have been carefully sourced from South Korea to preserve authenticity and seasonality.

The menu also features HANU’s signature creations, including:

Soy Marinated Sweet Prawn and Zucchi, Mushroom Galbi, White Asparagus Kimchi, Crispy Foie Gras

Beef Jang Jolim, Caviar, Soft Quail Egg and Yuzu Radish
