[SIGNIEL Seoul] SIGNIEL Club - Introduction to the Chinese Course Meal. Second Visit.

Baek’s rating ★★★★☆

Hello.

I’m Dr. Baek of Reve Dental Clinic, the dream dental clinic.

The first time I visited SIGNIEL Club after joining was to enjoy Japanese omakase.

There were ingredients that are hard to handle at a typical sushi restaurant, so it was a surprising and enjoyable day.

I recorded the memory from that day.

After October passed and November began, we visited for a dinner gathering with the doctors at Reve Dental Clinic.

Our clinic had been open for more than six months, and this was a gathering prepared to express our gratitude to the doctors who had worked so hard during that time.

SIGNIEL Club 107th floor Chinese course for 6 people.

Exterior

When you enter the lobby of SIGNIEL Seoul, you are greeted by the always impressive front entrance view!

The staff member is shown that small, so it’s hard to even imagine how many floors tall the door is. Even though we visited in mid-November, there was already a Christmas tree in place, and the year-end atmosphere was strong.

As always, when you say you are visiting SIGNIEL Club, you are guided to the dedicated 107th-floor elevator.

Interior

For a simple look at the elevator and the overall indoor atmosphere, please refer to my previous post! Today, I wanted to show you the room you will use when reserving the Chinese course at SIGNIEL Club.

It was a simple yet modern space with a large table, and the view outside the window faced south.

Since it was evening, I couldn’t tell exactly where everything was from the ceiling lights alone, but most of the view was apartments...

Looking outside, it feels as if you are looking down from the sky on an airplane.

A simple table setting.

I don’t know who came up with the word SIGNIEL, but I always really like the lettering. A word that brings to mind “signature,” with Lotte’s “L” hidden inside the lettering...

Our Reve Dental Clinic was also named by borrowing from the French word REVE, meaning “dream,” and I hope it looks cool to someone too haha.

Anyway, there is an explanation of the Chinese course.

Today’s Chinese course is 350,000 won per person.

It is quite expensive... but if you have SIGNIEL Club membership, you get a 20% discount. That brings it down to 280,000 won.

It may look like a lot, but it’s small, and it may look small, but it’s a filling course. I’ll show you slowly~^^

First is the basic table setting.

The roasted peanuts were so good that not a single one of the six of us skipped a refill.

The dim sum is served in a beautiful porcelain bowl.

A porcelain bowl that feels like it came from Japan! Haha

Three kinds of dim sum were placed together.

Hargow with truffle on top, shumai with flying fish roe on top, and chive dumplings.

If I had to describe it, it was a top-level taste that made me think, “It’s already a taste everyone knows, but does it really need to be any tastier than this?” Only three pieces, but they made an impression.

This beautiful dish that comes out second...

It was the most memorable dish among today’s course menu.

Golden silk winter melon soup

Even after reading it, I still didn’t know what it meant...

The golden silk is written as fish fin. Someone’s fin? Yes, it seems like a shark’s fin.

If you look closely, it is said to be named that way because it looks like golden thread.

The winter melon soup is said to have been flavored with winter melon.

They also said there was cordyceps inside, and on the right there was a radish shaped like a talisman.

I thought of it as a talisman that brings good luck.

On the left was the mussel that came with it. They gave us just one. Haha

Jindo green onion sea cucumber and abalone

A sea cucumber and abalone dish, true to its name, flavored with oyster sauce and sweet Jindo green onions.

Have sea cucumber and abalone ever been this big? Haha

Anyway, it was delicious... Such luxurious and wonderful ingredients.

Black garlic teriyaki beef tenderloin

As the title says, this is a beef tenderloin dish with kale and garnish.

It was sliced nicely, so I could enjoy each piece comfortably.

Looking at it again, the plate is really beautiful ^^

After eating this much, it’s time to refresh the palate with grapefruit sorbet, right?

It’s time for the most impressive dish to come out.

Scallion sauce live lobster

This is the live lobster dish that could be called today’s main course.

I didn’t realize there was this much meat. It does look a bit cruel, though......

A live lobster is resting comfortably in green scallion sauce.

This is a lobster dish that just makes you exclaim when you eat it.

It seems to rank among the best lobster dishes I’ve ever had in my life..!

For the meal, you could choose between the familiar jjajangmyeon, tangsuyuk, or fried rice,

and I chose jjajangmyeon without hesitation.

As they say, a good restaurant should be able to make jjajangmyeon delicious, right? Haha

It was tasty, but the flavor felt fairly ordinary. Maybe that’s because the dishes before it were so extravagant...

The noodles had a somewhat fresh pasta-like texture, which I liked :0

For the final dessert, there was a purple porridge made with purple sweet potato,

seasonal fruit - melon, persimmon, pineapple, and a simple dessert.

Since it was a course meal, we ended up eating for nearly an hour, so we were more full than expected.

It was a splendid and impressive meal.

Today, I really enjoyed the meal once again.!!!

Conclusion

A substantial, filling, extravagant, and wonderful meal.

When I visited last time and had the sushi omakase, what I felt was... there were so many fish ingredients I had never seen before!

There were quite a few novel ingredients. It definitely seems that sushi omakase is a kind of time you can truly enjoy only when you have a solid budget.

It felt like the special pieces that appear one by one at places like Sushi Jo at The Westin Josun Seoul or Momoyama at Lotte Hotel Seoul were the main attraction here.

I also remember the Chinese course meal as being incredibly special.

There were ingredients you wouldn’t normally encounter, and considering the size of the sea cucumber and abalone, as well as the quality of the beef tenderloin and lobster... it felt like a luxurious meal you might only experience once a year.

Taste: ★★★★★

Value for money: ★★★☆☆

Accessibility: ★★★★★

Facilities: ★★★★★

Parking: Free valet parking available with a credit card.

The meal itself was excellent and great, but the enormous price barrier was still there.......

Even though it is the only restaurant in Seoul (!) above the 100th floor, and even if you consider that the observatory view is included, it still feels expensive. Hahaha

Maybe it’s fair to say it’s good for enjoying a special day once in a while... ^^

(But honestly, you can probably get that kind of feeling at STAY or Bicena below as well!! lol)

Thank you for reading my own-money, self-paid dining post again today,

With carefully selected posts, I’ll do my best to become a memorable restaurant coordinator. :)

This was Dr. Baek from Reve Dental Clinic at Sinsa Station.

Thank you.!!
