Ki Eun-se's New York Business Trip: A Record of Michelin-starred Restaurants Requiring Reservations and Fusion Korean Cuisine

Actress Ki Eun-se shared the special culinary experiences she had during a business trip to New York. Recently, through her YouTube channel, Ki Eun-se conveyed her daily life, including the restaurants she visited during her New York business trip schedule and her records there.

A heartwarming taste met in New York, a Michelin chef's noodle bar

This New York schedule was not a simple trip, but a business trip for a clothing brand shoot. Ki Eun-se found time during the filming schedule to visit a Michelin-based noodle bar in New York that is very difficult to reserve. This place, operated by a Korean chef, is so popular that reservations are required a month in advance.

The food experienced here was characterized by a harmony of Korean tastes and the colors of New York. After tasting one of the menu items, Ki Eun-se expressed her satisfaction with the unique taste that felt like Korean flavors, describing it as "a taste I've never had before, but a somewhat heartwarming taste." In particular, the chicken menu accompanied by caviar provided an exotic experience as Korean sauce met New York ingredients. After tasting the menu, Ki Eun-se showed rich expression through her face, saying, "It's so delicious."

Fusion Korean restaurant Hojokban with impressive truffle potato pancakes

The second place visited is 'Hojokban', which presents fusion Korean cuisine. At this place, Ki Eun-se enjoyed signature menus and met foods that reinterpreted Korean tastes in the middle of New York. In particular, the potato pancake accompanied with truffle left a strong impression, with Ki Eun-se mentioning, "It's the best." She expressed her satisfaction with the taste while dipping the truffle into the potato pancake.

The Hojok ribs, geotjeori, and ramen fried rice served together evoked the atmosphere of a Korean meal. Ki Eun-se conveyed the taste of the food, saying, "It feels exactly like eating in Korea." Also, regarding the budae-jjigae, she highly evaluated the flavor, which exceeded expectations, saying, "I thought it would taste like ramen soup mixed with bibim, but it's a much more sophisticated taste." She recommended the truffle potato pancakes, Hojok ribs, and ramen fried rice of this place to visitors of New York.

Unreal New York nights and return to daily life

After the culinary journey, time to enjoy the night view of New York followed. Ki Eun-se walked the night streets of New York with the staff and admired the scenery near Central Park. Looking at the scenery of New York, she recorded the beautiful night atmosphere, feeling as if it were an "unreal world." She stated that instead of a fashion business trip, this trip was a time to continue friendships with the staff.

After finishing the business trip and returning to Korea, Ki Eun-se returned to her daily life by making handmade tonkatsu and soba herself to soothe the greasiness of the food eaten in New York. She once again emphasized that the special tastes experienced in New York were fusion Korean foods that perfectly suit Korean palates.
