Held at The Butchers Dining, the event featured a live cooking demonstration and tasting session, attended by South Korea’s Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, Song MiRyung, and the Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to Singapore, Hong JinWook. The event celebrated premium Korean rice and fruits, aiming to introduce Singaporean consumers to the unique textures and flavours of these products.
Korean cuisine is renowned for its bold flavours and health benefits, largely due to its use of fresh, nutrient-rich ingredients and traditional fermentation techniques.
