ASSISTANT HEAD CHEF

Company Overview / Employee Value Proposition

BOMUL Samgyetang is a Korean wellness dining restaurant dedicated to the art of nourishment. Each bowl begins with premium organic spring chicken, raised for 50-60 days in cage-free environments that allow natural movement and healthy growth. These chickens develop tender yet pleasantly chewy meat, perfect for creating authentic ginseng chicken soup, a timeless dish cherished across generations. Every soup is simmered in a hanging broth brewed from 18 carefully selected herbs, balancing rich flavour with the healing essence of traditional Korean wellness cuisine. BOMUL, meaning treasure in Korean, reflects our belief that true wellness is a treasure to be nurtured, shared, and enjoyed in every nourishing bowl.
