PULLMAN Kuching continues to introduce something new to the food adventurers in Kuching city. This time it is the Korean Food Festival, held from 26th June to 9th July 2017 and crafted by its very own Korean Chef Lee Seung Joon and his team of chefs. With the increasing interest and number of followings on Korean food in Kuching, such as the growing popularity of various type of Korean instant noodles and flavours, the Korean Food Festival came at the right time, with Pullman Kuching serving an authentic cuisine prepared fresh from the kitchen by its Korean chef and his Korean assistant chef.
