Hong Kong SAR — From July 6 to July 26, Harbourside at Regent Hong Kong partners with Seoul’s acclaimed JUDORAK to offer a exclusive buffet experience. Hong Kong diners can enjoy a thoughtfully curated selection of authentic Korean flavors. Set against stunning views of Victoria Harbour, guests are encouraged to savor a lively and elegant take on both contemporary and classic Korean dishes, prepared with care, enthusiasm, and a festive spirit.

JUDORAK, a renowned name in Seoul’s culinary scene, has established itself as one of Korea’s most popular modern gastropubs. It is celebrated for its stylish, industrial-chic decor and elevated Korean comfort food. The brand is especially praised for its sophisticated interpretations of Korean classics, such as slow-simmered oxtail, buckwheat noodles with perilla oil, and Yukjeon (Korean-style battered beef pancakes). Additionally, it is known for its thoughtful pairing of seasonal dishes with highballs, traditional liquors, and whiskey. With a dedicated customer base that frequents its carefully crafted dishes and signature pairings, JUDORAK has become a cultural icon in contemporary Korean dining.

Led by CEO Julian Kim, JUDORAK’s name derives from three characters—ju (brewing), do (way), and rak (joy)—reflecting a philosophy inspired by Korean gathering traditions: sharing food, pouring drinks, and connecting through the gentle flow around the table.

During the collaboration, JUDORAK Head Chef Jacob Kim and his team will be present at Harbourside’s buffet, showcasing their Korean cooking techniques with live, on-site demonstrations.

A Showcase of Modern Creativity and Time-Honored Korean Classics

Harbourside’s extensive buffet showcases a curated selection of JUDORAK signatures, each presenting a unique mix of contrast and craftsmanship. Two dishes stand out, embodying the team’s innovative approach to modern cuisine.

• Jeyuk Cream Noodle is both unexpected and deeply comforting, where the smoky heat of jeyuk?bokkeum softens into a silky cream sauce.
• Daechang Tteokbokki embraces bolder sensibilities, pairing chewy rice cakes with the rich, buttery depth of beef large intestine to transform a familiar street favorite into something layered, decadent, and subtly addictive.

Alongside these modern interpretations, traditional dishes are presented with refined restraint:

• Deulgireum Guksu (Perilla Oil Noodles) is a minimalist yet intensely aromatic dish that balances rich perilla oil with a clean, refreshing soy-based sauce.
• Buchu Saeu Jeon features delicate savory pancakes made with fragrant buchu (garlic chives) and fresh shrimp, showcasing the natural aromas and textures of premium ingredients.
• Sogogi Yukjeon is a festive classic of thin slices of beef lightly coated in flour and egg, then pan-fried to tender perfection.
• Sokkori Suyuk is slow-braised oxtail cooked until exceptionally soft, served warm with a savory dipping sauce and fresh chives.
• Yukjeon & Suyuk Jeongol is a comforting Korean hot pot of tender sliced meat, vegetables, and mushrooms simmered in a mild, savory broth.

The journey ends with a light, refreshing Korean Bingsoo, a traditional summer treat of finely shaved ice topped with sweet red beans. It’s a soothing way to conclude, offering a gentle feeling of coolness and calm.

Elevating the Experience with MUI Makgeolli’s Artisanal Elegance

Complementing the overall experience is MUI Makgeolli, JUDORAK’s signature artisan rice wine. Smooth and luminous, it offers subtle layers of grain sweetness, balanced acidity, and a refined, lingering finish. Made simply from rice, nuruk, and purified water, it pairs effortlessly throughout the menu, tying the experience together in a way that feels both grounding and festive. Enjoy MUI Makgeolli at HKD 128 for a 250ml carafe or HKD 368 per bottle.

Together, the collaboration transcends just a meeting of cuisines; it transforms into a shared table, a dialogue between heritage and modernity, inviting people to experience Korean dining not only through its flavors but also as a rich cultural experience.
