Korean restaurant Chung Dam has taken its delectable culinary offerings to Parqal Mall, a recently established shopping destination in Paranaque City.
With a commitment to providing top-tier Korean cuisine, Chung Dam is making waves in this vibrant urban setting.
Chung Dam offers a distinctive and exclusive dining experience that sets it apart. The restaurant primarily comprises various VIP rooms, creating an intimate and private ambiance. The focus is on maximizing bookings for these exclusive rooms to ensure that only a limited number of patrons are accommodated in the main dining area, where the expertly crafted dishes are prepared in the restaurant’s kitchen.
The heart of Chung Dam’s culinary excellence lies in its bustling kitchen, helmed by world-class chefs Master Chef Jang and Head Chef Kim. Master Chef Jang, renowned for his decade-long tenure at the esteemed Korean restaurant Gaon, contributed to the restaurant receiving a prestigious Seoul Michelin 3-star rating from 2015 to 2019.
In each VIP room, an appointed attendant is responsible for overseeing the cooking process, all rigorously trained to expertly prepare the diverse array of dishes from the menu, with a particular emphasis on the variety of meats featured at Chung Dam.
A distinguishing feature of this restaurant is its meticulous approach to meat preparation. The restaurant refrains from freezing the meat, as this can compromise flavor upon thawing. Instead, they take great care to age the meat to perfection by storing it in an aquarium filled with cold water.
Chung Dam’s selection of meats, whether sourced from Korea, the United States, Australia, or Japan, is skillfully prepared to create a marinated appearance, even though no actual marination is used. Among these offerings, the soft short ribs from Korea come highly recommended.
Additionally, the restaurant boasts an extensive range of seafood, with standout offerings such as colossal live king crabs from Russia and soy-pickled crabs featured in their Korean specialties.
For those who prefer seafood in a different form, the sashimi collection offers a wide array of options, including Korean halibut fish and fresh salmon.
Korean soups are thoughtfully served as the final course of the meal, as they are known for their spiciness. Serving them as the concluding course adds a delightful finish to the dining experience.
The newest branch of Chung Dam is located on the second floor of Parqal Mall, conveniently situated at the intersection of President Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard and Cabrera Drive in Aseana City, Paranaque City.
