Ssal Bori Ssal

Nestled on Kimberly Road in TST – Hong Kong’s very own ‘Korean Quarter’ – Ssal Bori Ssal has opened its doors as Hong Kong’s first makgeolli bar and restaurant.

With a shelf life of only one month, the selection of makgeolli available in Hong Kong has always been very limited – which is where Ssal Bori Ssal has stepped in to fill the void, stocking a whopping 12 different types! But with so many to choose from, where is a girl to start (decisions, decisions!)? Luckily, the placemats double as pairing guides and rank attributes such as sweetness, acidity and carbonation of each makgeolli on a sliding scale, recommending which of its homely authentic Korean dishes it should accompany.
