Onggi is the name for the traditional Korean clay jar used to ferment delicious kimchi, and it's also the name of this exciting new Korean fine-dining restaurant in Bangkok by Chef Injin Kim.

Having lived in Thailand for over a decade and run a successful restaurant here before, Chef Injin has launched this passion project to experiment with local Thai produce as a key ingredient for Korean-style fermentation.

If you're curious to taste the results, try the tasting menu titled Hanjeongsik (B3,950++). The menu exudes the kind of glamor and richness you'd expect from the royal fare seen in Korean dramas. The fun begins at the start of the meal, when you're served a variety of kimchi and other fermented ingredients like gochujang and fish sauce for a tantalizing first taste.

Other menu highlights include grilled king prawns served with soy sauce-pickled vegetables, and the five-dish main course that features classics like bulgogi (marinated and grilled meat slices), gejang (salted crab), and kimchi soup.

Why travel all the way to Seoul for a fine-dining experience when you have Onggi right here in Bangkok?
