A One-Night Korean Pop-Up at Jasmijn en Ik — February 22

For the first time, I’m bringing my modern Korean cuisine into a full restaurant setting.
On February 22, I’ll host a one-night pop-up dinner at Jasmijn en Ik—a place that truly feels like home to me.

Some of you may know that I’ve already hosted two pop-up dinners at Parel van Zuilen. Both evenings were fully booked and warmly received. Those experiences gave me the confidence to take the next step: working with an established, consistently excellent restaurant and pushing the experience further.

Jasmijn en Ik is my favorite Asian restaurant in the Netherlands. I lived in Lombok, Utrecht, just around the corner for more than ten years. It has always been my benchmark for bold flavors, warm hospitality, and unwavering quality. The two Dutch-Chinese owners work tirelessly—in the kitchen and on the floor—and every visit reminds me why this place matters.

When I first considered proposing a Korean pop-up here, I wasn’t sure they would say yes. The restaurant is already successful, with evenings often fully booked.

So instead of pitching, I cooked.

I invited them to my home and shared what I do: from kimchi frituur to oysters with three different Korean fermented sauces. That dinner spoke louder than any proposal—and it convinced them.

This pop-up is a joint effort to showcase Korean cuisine through my own lens.
Not traditional. Not textbook. Modern, seasonal, fermentation-driven.

What to expect

• A 5-course elevated Korean dinner

• Dishes inspired by the winter season

• Fermented sauces based on doenjang, gochujang, and ganjang

• My home-brewed kombucha, used as a bold flavor accent

It’s a one-night-only event, 100% reservation-based.
Tickets will open one month in advance.

I’m excited to take this next step—and to cook for you at Jasmijn en Ik.
