London Korean Links

Covering things Korean in London and beyond since 2006

Gallery: CHAGOK CHAGOK at Be-oom tea rooms

Be-oom’s collaboration with BOMBOM to create a unique evening of Korean-style tapas with wine and tea pairings provided an opportunity for an informal, between lock-down, editorial meeting between LKL’s new visual arts contributor and the website’s founder.

Food was beautifully presented with the sort of mild flavours you might find in temple temple. The wine and tea pairings were very special, and of course the welcome from Sooji, Yoojin and the BOMBOM team made for a very civilised experience.

Do try it if you get the chance.
