Dinner Menu for APEC Leaders Unveiled
The concept of the dinner menu is "Beautiful Korean Dishes with the Power to Revitalize." Dishes were chosen to present a harmonious blend of taste, color, and nutritional value.
The first dish that will be served is a scallop and ginseng salad. The rich protein found in the seafood and the restorative power of the ginseng will help the Leaders recover from their long journey. The next dish on the menu is chestnut porridge, which will also help to rejuvenate the guests.
The main course will be grilled king prawns, along with grilled beef garnished with fragrant pine mushrooms, followed by steamed rice and sinsunno, a traditional Korean dish cooked at the table in a special brass platter. Side dishes will include red and white kimchi, seasonal vegetables and fried laver.
Finally, assorted Korean pastries, along with fresh fruit and citron punch, will be served for dessert.
A traditional Korean wine made from mushrooms by the Millennium Promise company in Busan will be used during the official toast. The dinner wines have been selected from the vineyards of two APEC member economies: the white wine will be a sauvignon blanc from the Canon Road vineyards in the United States, and the red wine will be a cabernet sauvignon from the Montes Alpha M vineyards of Chile. Bok Bun Ja Joo, a sweet traditional wine made from black raspberries. will be used following the meal as a dessert wine.
