Hotspot alert! Since opening in September 2023 mere morsels away from Groenplaats, Chingu (“friend” in Korean) very quickly became the go-to for K-food fans. Here, nothing is lost, everything is shared… like the tteokbokki, a melee of pillowy little rice cakes glistening in glossy gochujang (red chili paste), worthy of a licking lips emoji! Or the bulgogi, made just like you’d find in Seoul, with tender chunks of marinated grilled beef, which go down easy with a perfectly cooked portion of rice and around eight banchan, those delicious side dishes which are a staple of Korean cuisine – kimchi, seaweed salad, pickled radishes… all complimentary with each dish. We’ll be back for sure. // Barbara Gù
