RUSSIAN FOOD IN KYUNGRIDAN? OH DA.
등록날짜 [ 2015년04월01일 16시13분 ]

A cheese exists in Seoul that is rich and sweet and soft and textured. It would please the palette of the most discerning babushka. It is called dvorog, and it is made by an immaculately dressed and made-up Siberian named Zhanna. She does not give the recipe out, but she is eager to give spoonfuls of the stuff to interested people.

Zhanna Bergy sells her dvorog at Siberia, the new Kyungridan restaurant she co-owns with her husband, Pat. She hails from Siberia, Russia’s largest and most storied region, and she is here to share her country’s food with Seoulites. Siberia is different from most of the Russian joints in Seoul. For one, it’s in Kyungridan, not Dongdaemun. It’s also more upscale; you don’t get that feeling of slight danger eating there that you get with the alley-hidden places in Dongdaemun.

Their chef, Sasha Kim, is a former Zelen chef, and you’ll see some of the same techniques at Siberia that you would there – stuffed chicken breasts, roasted pork, big hunks of steamed vegetables. Their food is mostly stuff that could sustain you through a cold Russian winter – hearty soups (including a unique yogurt-based one), steak with brown mushroom sauce, and shashlyk (who doesn’t like chunks of skewered, roasted lamb?).

But there are lighter choices. They have a salmon salad that is uniquely prepared – each sliver of salmon is wrapped in a transparent-thin slice of cucumber. The pink of the salmon emanates through the cucumber. And then there are the desserts. What would a Russian restaurant be without blini? They serve the little pancakes stuffed with that sweet dvorag, except that here the dvorag has been flavored with strawberries.

Mmmm… strawberry dvorag. Pat Bergy, Zhanna’s husband, has a knack for flambéing. He can do bananas foster, flambéed coffee and “cherries jublini,” a twist on cherries jubilee that is poured over blini-wrapped ice cream. And of course Siberia has plenty of Russian booze.

The stand-up fridges behind the bar are stocked with beer and vodka, including the Baltika and Stary Melnik range. To get to Siberia, walk up the main street in Kyungridan. It’s on the right, past the Well-being Mart, on the second floor. The couple also runs a smaller spot called Siberia Café that serves shashlyk and drinks. It’s across the street from the restaurant.
