Brand-new Korean restaurant Social has officially opened at Festival Walk, Kowloon Tong! “Social” is not merely a restaurant; it is a daily social space tailored for urban youth. The storefront features an interplay of dark brown and wooden textures, while the interior's circular bar counter and seating design create a dining atmosphere that is both sophisticated and comfortable. It is shaped into a trendy urban sanctuary where close friends, families, or weekend gatherings can enjoy an unparalleled experience.
Highlight dishes include:
Korean Fried Chicken: Each piece is meticulously marinated for 4 to 6 hours in our secret house marinade, then coated in a special batter crafted from pearl rice milk. This innovative technique delivers an exceptionally light, golden, and shatteringly crispy exterior that locks in maximum juiciness. Accompanied by four house-blended sauces, the dish shines with two signature creations. The luxurious Triple Cheese Sauce masterfully combines Cheddar, Parmesan, and Mozzarella, seamlessly fusing Western sauce artistry with the vibrant spirit of Korean street food. Equally standout is the Korean Chili Sauce, meticulously simmered with over ten carefully selected ingredients — including strawberry jam, sake, honey, and plum juice — to create a perfectly balanced, complex heat that embodies the true craftsmanship of Korean sauce-making.
Spicy Cheese Pork Belly: Savor the bold and irresistible appeal of our Spicy Cheese Pork Belly. Premium pork belly is pan-seared until perfectly caramelized, developing a crispy, golden exterior while remaining tender and juicy inside. It is generously served over melted mozzarella cheese and laced with vibrant Korean chili paste, creating a harmonious blend of savoury depth, gentle heat, and luxurious creaminess with a dramatic cheese pull in every bite.
Grilled Slow-Cooked U.S. Beef Ribs: Experience the pinnacle of patience and precision with our Grilled Slow-Cooked Beef Ribs. Premium beef ribs are meticulously marinated for two hours, then slow-cooked at a low temperature for a full 24 hours to achieve melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. Finished with a dramatic sear over grill, the ribs develop an irresistible aroma that captures the essence of cooking.
Prawn & Salmon Seafood Army Stew: Social’s Army Stew features a savoury seafood broth slowly simmered with kombu, radish, scallions, and sautéed dried anchovies. Layered with prawns, salmon, kimchi, instant noodles, melted cheese, and a fresh egg, the result is a wonderfully rich, spicy, and sweet hot pot that is thoroughly appetizing and bursting with distinct layers of taste.
Seared Salmon with Duck Foie Gras Pot Rice: We selected Japanese pearl rice is seasoned and soaked for a full 30 minutes to deliver the perfect chewy texture that forms the heart of this elevated bowl. Rich salmon fillets are brushed with our house-made Korean soy sauce and dramatically seared using a high-heat torch. This technique locks in the fish’s natural oils while imparting a captivating smoky aroma and beautifully caramelized exterior. The dish is crowned with premium duck foie gras that gently melts into the warm rice, creating a contrast of textures and temperatures.
Korean Strawberry / Honeycomb Tiramisu: These Tiramisu subverts tradition by replacing the Rum and Marsala wine typically used in Italian Tiramisu with Korean rice wine. It carries a subtle rice aroma and mild sweetness unique to rice wine, offering a light and gentle alcohol note that appeals perfectly to contemporary youth.
Special Blend Soju: Blending Spanish Sangria concepts with Korean soju, the restaurant introduces two specialty concoctions: "Pink Strawberry" and "Summer Yuzu". Bursting with rich fruit aromas, they serve as the perfect refreshing pairings to balance the richness of grilled meats and spicy dishes.
