Whatever you do, don’t skip desserts at Kimme. Head Chef Louis’ style of “Progressive Korean” cuisine has him channeling his heritage all the way through the menu, so you will have sure-win choices for happy endings to your meal.
If you have space for something a little more substantial, his reinterpreted Hotteok is an excellent choice. The traditional Korean sweet pancake is very popular in the winter for obvious reasons. Chef Louis presents it piping hot with some gula melaka, a scoop of housemade walnut ice-cream and mixed seeds. They come together to complement the Hotteok’s chewy texture—similar to that of a slightly dense mochi—very nicely. My friend Annette and I were stuffed as it was the last of the three desserts to arrive. Yet we inhaled it, which pretty much tells you exactly how good this was.
