Two acclaimed chefs, Bruno Jeong of Mosu Hong Kong and Scott Kang of Seoul’s Trid, are hosting a highly anticipated four-hands dinner event titled “Echoes of Korea” on December 8 at Mosu in the West Kowloon Cultural District, offering diners a fusion of modern technique and ingredient-focused Korean fine dining. This limited-engagement collaboration brings together two masters of contemporary Korean cuisine, both former colleagues, to reinterpret traditional flavors through innovative tasting menus.
The collaboration features Chef Jeong, head chef at the Hong Kong outpost of the celebrated Mosu, and Chef Kang, known for his seasonal-ingredient philosophy at Trid in Seoul. Their shared history, which includes working together at Mosu Seoul and the revered Benu in the United States, sets the stage for a harmonious yet creatively distinct menu. This partnership is poised to be a landmark culinary event, drawing attention from global food enthusiasts eager to experience this unique blend of expertise.
Blending Global Experience with Korean Heritage
Chef Jeong brings significant international experience to the Mosu kitchen, honed through stints in dynamic culinary centers including Singapore, Melbourne, and Sydney before serving at Mosu’s Seoul flagship. Since taking the helm at the Hong Kong location, housed in the M+ Building, Jeong has focused Mosu’s operation exclusively on sophisticated tasting menus, injecting his global perspective into contemporary Korean dishes.
Partnering with Jeong, Chef Kang has developed a distinctive culinary voice characterized by an emphasis on domestically sourced, seasonal ingredients integrated with refined French cooking techniques. At Trid, Kang has earned acclaim for his modern interpretations of classic Korean recipes.
The “Echoes of Korea” menu is designed to showcase the strengths of both chefs: Jeong will contribute Mosu’s signature flair for innovation and complexity, while Kang will offer his deep understanding of traditional cuisine, presented with a contemporary artistic touch. The result is promised to be a menu where seasonal elements take center stage, echoing the rich and nuanced flavors of the Korean peninsula.
