BAN BAN KITCHEN REOPENS & PIG AND TIGER — KOREAN SOUL FOOD

BAN BAN KITCHEN REOPENS & PIG AND TIGER — KOREAN SOUL FOOD

Ban Ban Kitchen lovers, re-unite! The Korean “soul food” joint is finally open again, with new lunch hours, a revamped interior and a fresh menu. Ban Ban — which means “half and half” in Korean — has been Neukölln’s go-to Asian imbiss since they occupied a tiny shack built around a tree on Hermannstraße, a few short blocks from where they are today. The classic bulgogi burgers and nori tacos remain on the menu alongside a noodly take on the bibimbap, and nori sprinkled fries with Korean miso mayo. While Ban Ban makes the perfect delicious pit-stop or quick takeaway spot, in times of leisure we recommend venturing next door to its younger, larger sibling, Pig & Tiger. Exposed brick walls, large windows, and the centrepiece copper-clad bar aren’t the only things that distinguish Pig & Tiger from its tiny next-door neighbor. Expect bibimbap served in piping hot stone bowls, crispy chicken karaage, garlic butter drenched edamame, delicate mandu dumplings, and luscious pulled pork udon. As you watch the sun fade over Schillerpromenade, you’ll wonder why you didn’t visit sooner. (Text: Devan Grimsrud / Photos: Ban Ban Kitchen)

LOK6 — FROM BRUNCH TO PRE-DINNER IN AN OLD ENGINE DEPOT

LOK6 — FROM BRUNCH TO PRE-DINNER IN AN OLD ENGINE DEPOT

Arriving at this restaurant is all about the approach. I recommend coming by bike from Gleisdreieck, as at its top end lies Lok6. This way is the most rewarding for all the senses: the eye can revel in the urban landscape of railroad tracks and residential buildings, which form a pleasantly calm backdrop. Time your arrival for sunset if you can. In the warm, rusty-red interior of the restaurant, taste buds are spoiled. Chef Julia Heifer combines seasonal ingredients to create exceptional small plates, which straddle the line between appetizer and main course. Formerly in the kitchen at Dóttir, today Heifer implements her New York-inspired pre-dinner concept as Lok6’s owner — which she runs together with manager Tobias Wallenstein. Those in the mood for a classic apéro can order olives or hummus, or for a summery pre-dinner snack, the burrata salad with fresh tomatoes and peaches. Craving more? Hearty dishes also make an appearance. We loved the grilled aubergine with capers and orange yoghurt sauce. Currently Lok6 closes at 9pm, which is actually ideal, as at that point the evening is still young, and the senses are already satisfied. Testing the weekend brunch here is still on our to-do list, combined with a stroll in the park for the perfect lazy Saturday afternoon.

Join us next Monday (3.7) at the launch event for issue six of Seek’s magazine, exploring all things “Super Natural”. Brought to you by Cee Cee Creative, this edition delves into Simon Denny’s view on the future of finance, contemporary wisdom conjured up by Durga Chew-Bose, spellbinding cocktail recipes from around the world and a whole lot more. Join us for a drink, browse the alabaster shop surrounds and get your hands on a copy — plus, if you’re lucky — a fortune cookie for the road. See you there!

SIGURD LARSEN RECOMMENDS: CYCLING TO KÖPENICK

SIGURD LARSEN RECOMMENDS: CYCLING TO KÖPENICK

One of my favorite escapes on a sunny day is a bike trip to Köpenick. From where I live in Kreuzberg, the route offers a nice sequence of diversity — my favorite stops being the abandoned buildings. A bike trip on the northern side of the Spree towards Köpenick is an exciting journey into the eastern history of Berlin where plants are now taking over. The enormous Heizkraftwerk is made entirely of brownstone and the workers’ houses behind it are the first highlights of the journey. Next is the entrance to Funkhaus. If you take a closer look at the large red brick building on the right hand side you realize it’s only a thin façade — behind the glass is a forest. Once in Köpenick, my goal is the abandoned Kabelwerk in Friedrichshagener Straße north of Müggelspree. Many lush plants are taking over the former production halls, and trees are growing through the roof. Creating strips of nature, they match the long openings in the ceiling and create a fantastic self-grown indoor park. Usually the gates are open and people walk quietly around inside, as it somehow feels impolite to disturb the silence. (Text & Photos: Sigurd Larsen)
