"Scrumptious fusion food with cozy place""Tasting room (http://www.tastingroom.co.kr/)" was on my radar during my stay at Gangnam district with a number of reviews on TripAdvisor and Google travel. I would say this restaurant has various contemporary fusion foods which is hardly seen. The taste and display is definitely tasty, unique and creative. It’s pricey comparing with average food price of Seoul. But it’s good to try.
How to go: Apgujeong Rodeo Station, Exit 2, 10 to 15 min walk along K-star street to Apgujeong Rodeo-79 intersection and Dosan-daero 81. From my experience, most of the eateries as well as shops here offer unique and extravagant experience with concepts relating to K-pop stars (you cannot find the budget food here along this road).
The restaurant, this place run by an architect and a lightening designer couple – the ambiance was so cozy and comfortable inside. It opens from 11 am to 12 pm - you can find good branch during the day and wine bistro during the night. We were “walk- in” customer in weekday, but several tables have been reserved.
The food: English menu is available –but no English explanation in details (they cannot explain in English, neither), they have put the pictures and stars for recommended dishes, making dicing so conveniently– which is good enough for tourist. The restaurant is a fusion cuisine with combinations of Sothern American and Italian but adapted to fit with Korean’s tastes – (they also served salted white radish and hot pepper). The dish and drink is relatively big considering Thais. I went to some of the recommended dishes.
Cherry tomato pesto flatbread (24,2 W) – The flatbread (doesn’t like originally pizza) was piled with a plenty of cherry tomatoes and sprinkled heavily with mozzarella cheese and olive oil. Fresh wild rocket was topped at the corner, making it more colorful juicy and fresh. The bread was not fully baked, it is quite tender – like thin crust pizza with huge proportion size. I really enjoined with the sweet of tomatoes made it so tasty and the rocket was very fresh and crisp. This one is vegetarian friendly dish.
Sicilian meat ball egg pan (24.6 W) – my guess this hot pan serves for two-all items comes with two-pieces, meat ball, egg yolk and roasted bread. The meat balls is cooked with fresh cherry tomato sauce, topped with egg yolks and spiked with fresh basil leaves. The meat ball is quite big and dense with meat and slight tasty. I don’t know how to eat the egg- I decided not to mix in the pan –and eat with bread. I like to sauce filled with the natural sweet from tomatoes.
Crisp tripe jambalaya (24.6W) – Before we ordered this plate, we really paid attention to description – they cannot provide anything except the picture. If I know what “Tripe” is, I skip to something else – in Korea, tripe (ไส้หมู) is pricey. This dish itself was good and staggering –beside the tripe it come with rice with black sauce – as I find it tastes like “jajangbab – jajangmyeon but with rice”– I guess that why they called “jabalaya –as Cajun food in Sothern American ” but the rice made with jajang-sauce. The taste of the sauce was very heavy, but it felt better to have that with a Benedict egg and lettuce which are put on top.
Nude Tiramisu (14.2 W) – There is two recommended dessert dishes; sea salt popcorn ice cream – is a vanilla ice-cream topped with popcorn and sprinkled with sea salt. We decided on the second one, the nude tiramisu. The tiramisu – it is very amusing dish, fresh cream of tiramisu was put on the plate and fully sprinkled with mixed coco-coffee powder. The cream was soft and sweet and good when mixed it with sprinkled coco powder before eat.
Yuzu ade (8.8 W) –it is Italian soda with concentrated Yuzu (Orange) syrup, thin sliced Yuzu, sugar and honey. I really recommended - The taste was dazzling with sweet & sour. The size was amusing big.
Over all, the taste is good to try – it is a contemporary fusion food combined between Italian and southern american. The ambient is chic and comfortable. We appreciate the food and atmosphere, except it is pricey !!.
