Hong Kong movies from the 1990s have a unique sensibility. The story of love and separation was delightfully and sensually directed, and even now that 30 years have passed, the retro sensibility with faded color filters seems refined without being childish.
This Hong Kong sensibility seems like a retro textbook, similar to the current retro craze. A kitschy yet dreamy sensibility, faded colors that make you feel lonely, and even modern icons that match the times. Today, Chinese restaurants don't just sell “jajangmyeonâ€; they even feel like they are offline platforms that incorporate this sensibility and provide the experience of being in a scene from a movie.
This week, let's experience the essence of authentic Chinese cuisine with all five senses, with the feeling of being in a Chongqing Forest movie.

1. Enjoy Hong Kong's leading restaurants in Seoul, Banpo's 'Mott 32'

Mot32, the first Michelin star restaurant in Hong Kong, has opened its doors in Seoul. It's no exaggeration to say that not only the menu but also the interior were taken directly from Hong Kong Mott 32, so it's no exaggeration to say. The spacious interior is elegant yet imbued with the atmosphere of Hong Kong. It presents refined dishes that add Western aesthetics to traditional Cantonese cuisine in China. It offers menus with Peking duck and Iberian barbecues, various dim sum, and rich seafood.
[Eating tips]
â–²Location: 2F, 176 Shinbanpo-ro, Seocho-gu, Seoul
â–²Opening hours: 11:30 – 22:00 every day (B/T 15:00 – 17:30)
â–²Price: Mott Signature Peking Duck 160,000 won, Peking Duck Lettuce Wrap 21,000 won
â–²Review (Pork in front of Suwon City Hall): The interior was full of Chinese style and was very stylish, so I enjoyed the meal. The amount of Peking duck was a bit disappointing compared to the price, but it was very tasty, and the dim sum was the best. The service is also very skilled, and it's great to treat guests.
2. A unique gastronomic experience that feels like you've moved straight from Hong Kong, 'Way Tea House and Restaurant' in Shinshinsan

A Chinese restaurant located on the first floor of an old building. The green neon lights in the dark interior add to the vintage Hong Kong sensibility. They sell Chinese dishes that are not commonly eaten, but depending on the reservation time, the oven menu changes, such as “beggar chicken†with morel mushrooms, “honey barbecue†with Iberico chashu, and “tea smoked quail†smoked with tea, so it's a good idea to make a reservation in advance. Beggar chicken is a fun dish that comes from poor people eating rough entrails without cooking utensils, then wrapping them in lotus leaves with mud and grilling them. Another interesting menu is the performance that makes you break it with a hammer when the dish is served.
[Eating tips]
â–²Location: 25 Hangang-daero 21-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul
â–²Opening hours: Tea House 11:30 – 15:00, Bar & Restaurant 18:00 – 22:00, closed on Sundays and Mondays
â–²Price: Beggar chicken 40,000 won, Dongpa pork 19,000 won, MAO ribs 38,000 won, chicken meat 40,000 won
â–²Testimonial (Shikigami Happy Bear 2): Even the car outside the entrance said it was an interior decoration. A place that is really true to the concept.. The room is a little dark, so it looks pretty. They say you can only eat beggar chicken if you make a reservation at 6 o'clock. If you are going, be sure to check it out

A Chinese restaurant created by Professor Shin Gye-sook of Bae Hwa Womans University, famous as a chef and professor who rides a Harley Davidson. The spacious and clean interior has a Chinese feel, from the seating arrangement to the round tables and tableware. This place follows a cookbook written by Master Won Mae, a writer from the Qing University of China called the “Suwon Diet,†and Professor Shin Gye-sook, who studied Chinese food and the Suwon diet for 30 years, opened a restaurant to promote the philosophy and taste of this diet to the public. It is characterized by maintaining an excellent balance while focusing on the natural flavors of the ingredients. The signature is Dongpa pork, which has a mild flavor by adding Shaoxing wine and simmering it on a very low heat.

â–²Location: 86 Dongsung-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul
â–²Opening hours: 11:30 – 22:00 every day (B/T 15:00 – 17:30), closed on Mondays
â–²Price: Dongpa pork 88,000 won, sea cucumber juice 180,000 won, falcon duck 180,000 won, steamed red pepper fish 129,000 won
â–²Testimonial (Shikigami II, Aigiya II): It's not as sweet and salty as you usually think of Chinese food, but the ingredients are rich in their natural flavors and the balance of the liver is good. The feeling that this is a real lunch comes right from the first bite. It was a very satisfying meal~
4. “Delicacy†in Yeonhui-dong, a Chinese restaurant full of ingenuity by Chef Yoo Shin-jae

It is one of the best restaurants in Yeonhui-dong, which is famous for its lunch. This is a space where Chef Yoo Shin-jae, who has a career at Shilla Hotel Palseon, is holding a work. There are familiar menus in a plain interior, but the flavors are definitely not mediocre. The signature “Jachun Kwon,†made by frying mushrooms and seafood, then wrapping the outside in egg batter and deep-frying them, is amazing for its heavy flavor. You must make a reservation in advance to enjoy it. I also recommend “grilled gyoza,†which has a juicy, moist, and filling gyoza that makes you feel satisfied.
[Eating tips]
â–²Location: 36 Yeonhuima-ro, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul
â–²Opening hours: 11:00 – 21:30 every day (B/T 15:00 – 16:00), closed on Tuesdays
â–²Price: Asthun ticket 35,000 won for grilled dumplings, 15,000 won for fish-flavored eggplant, 30,000 won for dongpayuk
â–²Testimonial (Shikigami Eunvely:3): It's not that the interior is excellent or that there are special dishes you can't find anywhere else. They sell Chinese food that is faithful to the basics… The taste is really good. It's great when a group of people go out and try several dishes to eat!

A Chinese home-style restaurant that recreates the flavors of Sichuan and Hubei provinces in China. A variety of dishes are served, but it's not a course style; it's a more instagrammable menu. There are two types of menus, with three or four main dishes, condensed milk bread, and ice cream, and you can choose according to your preferences. The signature is “razuji,†a spicy Szechuan-style fried chicken made by deep-frying chicken and then adding red pepper oil and red pepper. We also recommend the “New Year Hot Pot,†which is cooked with well-prepared Korean beef offal and beef.
[Eating tips]

â–²Opening hours: Thursday, Friday 17:30 – 21:30, Saturday 13:00 – 21:30, Sunday 13:00 – 20:00 (B/T weekend 15:30 – 17:00), Wednesday advance reservation required
â–²Price: New Zealand Hot Pot Han Style (1 person): 36,500 won; Lotus Root Rib Soup Han Sang (1 person): 33,500 won
â–²Testimonial (Shikigami Pinkholic 1225): If you like medium or medium, I think you know this place very well… There are a lot of fans gathered. The food was also really delicious, especially the Rajji, which was one of the best things I've eaten in the past. The boss is also very kind!
