Tips for Planning a Korean-Inspired Event

Want to create a truly memorable Korean-themed experience? Here’s how to make the most of your Korean-Inspired Catering with Shiok Kitchen Catering.

Balance the Menu

Not everyone can handle spice, so aim for harmony in flavor and heat levels. For example, pair bold dishes like Korean Gochujang Fried Chicken with lighter, milder options such as Simmered Daikon Radish or Chinese Spinach with Sesame Soy Sauce. A balanced spread keeps all your guests comfortable and satisfied.

Focus on Visual Presentation

Korean cuisine is not only delicious—it’s visually stunning. Vibrant colors from dishes like Kimchi Fried Rice and Breaded Prawns with Gochujang Mayo can make your buffet or bento display more inviting. Presentation adds to the experience, especially in photos.

Offer Something for Everyone

Dietary diversity is key. Shiok Kitchen Catering offers vegetarian, vegan, and halal-friendly dishes like Korean Vegetarian Bento and Kimchi Fried Rice. Your menu should feel inclusive and thoughtful for all guests attending your event.
