At Oz import Bills in Seoul, there’s nary a plate of tteokbokki or kimchi in sight…
From Sydney’s Bondi Beach to London’s Notting Hill; and from Hawaii’s Waikiki Beach to… Seoul’s Jamsil? Indeed it’s true – Australia’s favourite quirky seaside breakfast man Bill Granger has arrived in Korea, with a branch of his eponymous restaurant serving up feel-good comfort food all day, every day.
Displaced Aussies will rejoice at the idea of waking up and settling in for sourdough toast with marmalade and vegemite – while everyone else can enjoy stacks of ricotta hotcakes with banana and honeycomb butter, and tiramisu French toast with cherries and cacao nib brittle.
More of a savoury palate? There’s Bills famed egg scramble of course, and zucchini fritters with fried egg, haloumi and tahini yoghurt; or crab and chorizo fried brown rice with poached egg and coriander. In the afternoon you can dine on yellow fish curry and parmesan chicken schnitzel, while we know Bills spiced Bloody Mary tickles the tongue any time of day.
Sure it sits pretty in the middle of bright lights big city Lotte Mall, a world away from its blue sky Sydney sib, but the Down Under flavours are bang-on the money.
