Misty Pot · Kitchen notes
From our kitchen
Notes on broth, banchan and the moments that bring us together.
A moment together · October 2026
Our little kitchen,
on the big screen.
Misty Pot is in The Age Good Food Guide for a second consecutive year — and this time, among Victoria’s 100 Essential Restaurants.
A few days before the official Good Food Awards event, the Good Food team came to film a busy Friday night at our restaurant. They captured Jun cooking in the kitchen, our staff moving through service, and Emily stepping out from the counter to the tables.
We put our aprons aside for the evening and joined the celebration. Seeing those familiar scenes on the big screen was unexpectedly moving: the everyday life of our little restaurant, shared with the room. The video also appeared in Good Food’s online feature.
Then it was back to the kitchen, the broths and the tables waiting to be set. Thank you to our team and every guest who has helped us get here.
With love, Emily & Jun

미스티팟이 2년 연속 The Age Good Food Guide에 실리고, 올해는 빅토리아주의 100 Essential Restaurants에도 선정됐어요.
공식 행사 며칠 전, Good Food 촬영팀이 분주한 금요일 저녁의 미스티팟을 담아갔습니다. 주방에서 요리하는 준, 손님을 맞이하는 직원들, 카운터에서 테이블로 향하는 제 모습까지요.
준과 함께 초대받아 간 행사에서 우리의 일상이 큰 스크린에 나오니 참 뭉클했어요. 그 영상은 온라인 리뷰 소개 기사에도 실렸습니다.
다시 돌아오면 국 끓이고 손님 맞이하는 일상. 그 하루하루를 함께 만들어주는 우리 팀과 손님들께 감사합니다.

From the chef · Nurungji
Nurungji
Samgye Baeksuk
누룽지삼계백숙
Tender chicken. Crisp, savoury scorched rice. A rich ginseng broth.
Chef Jun introduces our Nurungji Samgye Baeksuk — a comforting bowl where delicate chicken meets the nutty crunch of nurungji.
셰프가 직접 소개하는 누룽지삼계백숙. 부드러운 닭고기와 구수하고 바삭한 누룽지, 진한 인삼 육수가 어우러지는 한 그릇입니다.

On Broth 01
Seolleongtang
The essence of seolleongtang is the quiet balance of broth, meat, temperature and texture.
Even during a busy service, we consider the balance of fat and lean meat, the thickness and timing of each slice, and the richness of the broth. Small details complete the dish.
On Banchan 01
Mu namul
A Korean table is completed by its banchan.
These small dishes complement the main, bringing balance to the meal as a whole. Our banchan is made fresh every day; mu namul, gently cooked radish, is part of that daily rhythm.
Care in the small things, as well as the centre of the table.
On Celebration 01
A taste of home
Wherever Chuseok finds us, familiar food brings us a little closer to home.
Golden jeon, silk-soft japchae and tender galbi jjim, prepared with care and meant to be shared.
Cooking together, then taking the time to share the table. Our warmest way to celebrate.

AT THE TABLE · NURUNGJI SAMGYE BAEKSUK
A little ritual.
Tender chicken breast wrapped around sticky rice. Warm ginseng broth. And a little room for golden, nutty nurungji.
Take your time. Enjoy every spoonful.
찹쌀밥을 감싼 부드러운 닭가슴살 한 숟갈.
깊은 인삼 육수와 고소한 누룽지.
누룽지삼계백숙. 마지막 한 입까지, 천천히.

THE AGE · GOOD FOOD GUIDE 2027
One of the 100.
Misty Pot has been named one of the 100 Essential Restaurants in The Age Good Food Guide 2027.
Seeing our name on that screen, alongside so many restaurants we admire, was a moment we won’t forget. And yes, that cheer was us.
From Chef Jun Kwon in our kitchen to the kimchi kalguksu we cook every day, it means so much to see our little restaurant recognised.
Thank you to our team, our guests, and everyone who keeps coming back for another bowl.
Watch the moment our name appeared.
