Mosu Hong Kong, the latest international outpost of two MICHELIN-starred Mosu Seoul, will be opening its doors at M+ this end-March 2022. Partnering with leading hospitality group Lai Sun Dining, Executive Chef Sung Anh brings his world-renowned cuisine to Hong Kong’s exciting new destination for art, technology and gastronomy in West Kowloon. Seating 40 guests, the tasting menu-only restaurant will carry over key elements from Mosu Seoul, while observing the seasons and working closely with local suppliers to obtain the finest ingredients possible.

Mosu Seoul currently has two MICHELIN stars in Seoul, #67 on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants (list from 51-100), #5 on Opinionated About Dining Top Asia Restaurants 2021 and a score of 81% on La Liste 2022.

Introducing Sung Anh’s protégé turned Head Chef of Mosu Hong Kong, Shim JungTaek

Previously a music producer and videographer living in Japan, Chef Shim JungTaek’s rise in the culinary world was far from conventional. One day, during a fateful visit to his favourite Tokyo bookstore, beautiful food images from a book by the renowned Pierre Gagnaire caught his eye. From that day on, his career vision was changed forever, and he promptly enrolled in culinary school for 1 year to find his new calling as a chef.

Chef Shim owes his native fluency in Japanese to his 12 years spent in the country, which included experiences working at one MICHELIN starred Restaurant Sant Pau in Tokyo for 3.5 years, Michel Bras Toya Japon in Hokkaido for 2 years and finally working at Tokyo’s legendary three MICHELIN starred Quintessence for 3 years. Shim was then recruited by Chef Sung Anh to join the Mosu Seoul kitchen brigade as Sous Chef, where his internationally acquired skills blended seamlessly with Mosu’s unique and original identity of innovative Korean cuisine.
