“Discover the Korean Food Craze in Africa: South Africa’s Special Korean Cooking Class”

The recent surge in popularity of Korean food in the United States and Europe is no longer surprising, as we frequently see it on local YouTubers and in Korean news. It's also become commonplace for foreign tourists to exclaim, "Ah, this is the taste!" after tasting doenjang (fermented soybean paste) and jeotgal (salted seafood).

This video shows an eight-course Korean cooking class held in Cape Town, South Africa. Watch a party planner and catering chef create sophisticated Korean dishes, and even witness the locals' reactions.

Just 20 years ago, Korean grocery stores in New York were small and insignificant, and in places like Colorado with a small Korean population, you had to travel all the way to Denver to find seaweed or kimchi. Now, you can easily find Korean restaurants serving bulgogi, kimchi, bibimbap, and other dishes, even in small towns and capitals around the world, including South Africa.

Last weekend, I happened to come across a rather unusual YouTube video. It featured an eight-course Korean cooking class held in Cape Town, South Africa.

This wasn't just a simple dish; a party planner and catering chef presented Korean cuisine with incredible sophistication and dynamics. I was surprised to learn that such Korean cooking classes were in demand in Africa, and I was also impressed by his exceptional skills.

The Korean cuisine course, presented in a spacious and classic South African home, and the reactions of the locals who were captivated by the taste of Korean food were truly impressive.

On the opening day of the Greenvil Hotel in Tanzania, I dreamed of providing the first guests with a special cultural exchange where Korean cuisine and Africa meet through this catering service.

This channel isn't just about cooking videos. It showcases South African home interiors, the stunning landscapes of African tourist destinations, the fresh vegetables and flower shops of organic markets, and even the reactions of locals after sampling Korean dishes like sweet and sour chicken, spicy stir-fried chicken, and kimbap. It offers an unfiltered look at African daily life and culture.

Experiencing Korean food while traveling in Africa. Or perhaps making African memories even more special through Korean food. Isn't that a truly captivating combination in itself?

I'm recording a small inspiration today, too. And I hope to make this dream a reality in Tanzania soon.
