Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas  

Through Dec. 31: Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas in Samseong-dong, southern Seoul, announced its plan to offer "Holiday To Go," a package designed to help create a perfect home party table for the year-end season, at Grand Deli, located on the ground floor of the hotel on a reservation basis. The Turkey To Go package has seen more than a 20-percent increase in sales each year since 2016. As home parties have become noticeably more popular this year due to social distancing, it is expected that the year-end, to-go packages will be in high demand. Offering even more choices, this year’s to-go package offers have options: Turkey, BBQ pork ribs, and Virginia ham. Along with the Holiday To Go package, the Home Party Pack is also available with two bottles of wine, cake, salad, chocolate and chandelier candles.
The turkey has a deliciously meaty texture since it is cured in natural carbonated water from Chojeong-ri, using a method for which the hotel holds an exclusive patent. The meat is coated with premium herb butter that has a nutty flavor and is cooked in the oven at a low temperature. The BBQ pork ribs are made with meat from pastured Duroc pigs from Haenam of South Jeolla. They have a tastefully smokey flavor thanks to the 24-hour smoking process with beech chips. The Virginia ham smoked Virginia-style boasts a tender texture.  
All three options for the Holiday To Go package come with 11 sumptuous side dishes and sauces, including pumpkin cheese fondue, two types of patented wholesome sausages, port-braised figs, roasted chestnuts, corns, shiitake mushrooms, sweet potatoes, apples and asparagus. Served in a solid takeout container that keeps food warm for about an hour, it is also suitable as a gift.  
The Holiday To Go package is priced at 250,000 won ($226) for the turkey, 260,000 won for BBQ pork ribs and 180,000 won for Virginia ham. Reservation is required 24 hours in advance. (All prices include tax). It can be upgraded to the Home Party Pack, which includes two bottles of wine, cake, avocado salad, eight chocolate treats, chandelier candles and two mugs for an additional 175,000 won.
