[Sports Seoul | Reporter Wi Soo-jung] Seoul Shilla Hotel's Chinese restaurant PalSeon is staging a high-profile culinary collaboration, bringing together leading Chinese chefs from Korea and Hong Kong.
On March 10, the hotel announced that from April 28–30 it will present the T'ang Court & PalSeon Culinary Collaboration, partnering with T'ang Court—the three-Michelin-starred restaurant at The Langham, Hong Kong—to showcase Cantonese cuisine.
With interest in Chinese cuisine on the rise, the promotion pairs PalSeon with a long-established Hong Kong institution to introduce authentic Cantonese flavors to Seoul diners.
T'ang Court has held three Michelin stars since 2016, maintaining that distinction for a decade. The restaurant is celebrated worldwide for its high-end seafood and modern reinterpretations of classic Cantonese dishes.
T'ang Court's executive chef, Wong Chi Fai, will fly to Seoul to lead the kitchen. A T'ang Court veteran of more than 20 years and its executive chef since 2022, Wong is famed for his mastery of wok hei—the smoky, high-heat flavor from wok cooking—and is widely respected for his expertise in Cantonese roasting and stir-fries.
PalSeon’s executive chef, Jang Geum-seung, is likewise regarded as one of Korea’s foremost masters of Chinese cuisine. A PalSeon stalwart for 43 years and executive chef since 2002, Jang follows a "three lows, one high" philosophy—low fat, low calories, low cholesterol, high protein—creating health-conscious Chinese dishes without chemical seasonings. PalSeon is listed in the LA LISTE 2026 guide and has been among LA LISTE's Top 1,000 Restaurants since 2023.
Across the three-day event, guests will enjoy an eight-course tasting menu that begins with an amuse-bouche from Chef Jang. Highlights include T'ang Court signatures such as Crab Shell Bake—crab meat packed into the shell and baked with a creamy sauce—and Stir-Fried Fresh Lobster, tossed with scallions, red onion and shallots to showcase wok hei.
Reservations open March 10 on the Seoul Shilla Hotel official website and the Shilla Hotel mobile app. wsj0114@sportsseoul.com
