If you were glued to the screen during Culinary Class Wars, now’s your chance to taste the drama (and the dishes) that made chef Choi Hyun Seok a household name.
The South Korean culinary icon is serving up his signature creations in Manila from Apr. 11 to July 6, at Finestra at Solaire Resort North, Quezon City, and Waterside at Solaire Resort, Entertainment City, Parañaque.
Fans can dig into standout plates from the Netflix hit — including that infamous Vongole, the very dish that led to Choi’s dramatic elimination in Episode 10 (thanks to a missing clove of garlic).
Now it is back and better than ever — garlic included this time. At P750, you can experience the dish he’s been perfecting for nearly three decades.
But the menu doesn’t stop there. Chef Choi is bringing a full lineup of his Culinary Class Wars favorites: Seaweed Soup with Hairtail Fish and Radish (P680), the indulgent Jang Trio Steak (P6,680), Tender Beans (P560), a luxe Donut with Corn and Caviar (P1,200), and a special Bingsu (P2,000) — Korean shaved ice personally made for Solaire.
Whether you're a fan of the show, a Korean food lover, or just someone who appreciates bold flavors and top-tier technique, this limited-time experience is not to be missed. Come hungry, and maybe rewatch the sixth episode for the drama before you go.
