2021.8.18 Hotel Events
Through Aug. 31: Wei Lou, a modern Chinese restaurant located on the 34th floor of Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas, presents a special summer course menu featuring Chinese cold noodles and more until late August to mark the summer solstice and the beginning of summer. Customers are cordially invited to discover the delicious set menu including hearty and healthy Chinese cold noodles, along with steamed sliced pen shell with Singaporean chili sauce, scallop appetizers, assorted homemade dim sum, deep-fried pork ribs, and chef’s special dessert.
Wei Lou's Chinese cold noodles are packed with revitalizing seafood delicacies such as sea cucumber, shrimp, scallops, jellyfish and garnished with beef shank and chinaberry sprout, served with rich ice-cold chicken broth and noodles. The immunity-boosting chinaberry sprout is served salted, and sesame paste is served instead of the usual peanut sauce to be mixed with the Chinese cold noodles so as to deliver a unique flavor.
Wei Lou's signature menu, deep-fried pork ribs, is also included in the set menu. Cooking deep-fried pork ribs involves a great deal of time and care in the basic prep work. Pork ribs need to be soaked in water for a day to draw out the blood, and then they're marinated with special seasonings for 12 hours. These seasoned pork ribs are steamed for 30 minutes and are then freshly fried immediately before being served to customers. This dish is highly popular among all customers since it boasts the ribs’ original savory taste and soft texture without any extra sauce.
Meanwhile, a more satisfying set menu can be enjoyed through the premium tea pairing service, whose tea selection has been carefully chosen to suit the menu. Besides the default Jasmine tea, customers can choose from different premium teas to complement specific menus. It is recommended pairing the summer's special course menu with Yunnan Gushu White Tea, which tends to be effective in lowering temperature, or Changnyeong Wild Black Tea, which offers a clean aftertaste and refreshing aroma.
The Chinese cold noodles special summer course menu is available for lunch on weekdays until late August, and the price is 89,000 won ($76) including tax and service charges.
