Building Bridges Between Korea and Bristol – Food, Art & Community
Hello friends,
I’m Chef Wizzy Chung, founder of Sky Kong Kong, Tiger Mum, and Barimigol CIC( reg: 14920829) in Bristol.
This winter, we’re launching something truly special —
two events that celebrate food, art, and cultural exchange:
First event: Korean Day( with 2 Korean Masters) – Monday, 15th December( at Mayflower Chinese restaurant)
and
Second event: Kimchi Festival with chef wizzy – Saturday, 31st January 2026 (at 25 E Merton Road, Bristol)
About first event in December :
We are honoured to welcome two Korean Masters to Bristol:
Venerable Monk Jeongkwan – World-renowned for Korean Temple Cuisine, known for its deep philosophy of mindfulness and respect for nature.
Master Ki Soon Do – National Master of Jang (fermentation) and Kimchi, representing Korea’s living heritage of health and harmony.
Together, they’ll lead a Temple Food & Fermentation Lunch, a Book Talk, and a Community Gathering at Mayflower Chinese Restaurant.
Book talk -author Seh-lunn Chai' the hard road out' one woman's escape from North Korea
In the evening, we’ll host a Chefs, Artists & Musicians Gathering with free snacks, live music, and open conversation about how we can stay together and support one another — from hosting street food festivals to creating cultural events that make Bristol stronger and more connected.
And Second event in January 'Kimchi events' with chef wizzy on Saturday 31st January
Led by Chef Wizzy, this is joyful, hands-on community event in Merton road, Bishopton
We make Kimchi together
Everyone takes their kimchi home
We celebrate fermentation, health and winter nourishment
Kimchi is one of the most important foods for winter-supporting the immune system, gut health, and wellbeing. To learn and share Korea's most important heritage food culture.
This day will be filmed and shared with the Mayor and Prime Minister of Bristol, to show how culture, food, and art can build community and bring people hope.
Our Vision
This isn’t just a one-time event — it’s the start of something bigger.
We want to make Bristol a true Artist City as well as a Culinary City, connected with Korea through ongoing cultural exchange and mutual support.
Our dream is to hold regular Saturday Street Food Markets at Merton Road — where:
Artists display their work
Musicians play live
Restaurants, cafés, delis, and food lovers sell local, affordable food
Together we can create a “Made in Bristol” marketplace that strengthens local businesses, brings people together, and celebrates global culture with a local heart. Serving local ingredients at a cheap price invites more Bristolians celebrating our life with food, art with music around the corner. More importantly, everyone gets benefits when we stay together.
Community Support
This project has been made possible through the generosity of Sky Kong Kong’s wonderful friends and customers:
Jean and Alcuin, retired doctors, kindly donated their home for the Masters to stay.
Mohmad and Yuki, dentists, helped with sightseeing and local hospitality.
Carol take Masters team out for dinner
Harmish, Risharn, and Zack volunteered for filming and photography.
Chef Kye Jeong Jeon, Chef Duncan Robertson, and the Bokman Bristol team will help prepare food alongside Char and other local chefs.
We are also joined by an 8-person Masters team from Korea — including assistants, translators, and cultural staff — who will support the workshops and events.
This is what real community looks like — people sharing what they can, giving time, love, and creativity to make something beautiful for everyone.
Our Fundraising Goal: £5,000

What we have done so far:
Street Food for Community
We’ve already held several street food events across Bristol — at Bridge Farm, Jamaica Street Studios, and Debenhams Skatepark, kimchi festival at merton road, £1 at sky kong kong, self published cookbook, make documentary — bringing together chefs, artists, and musicians to share food, culture, and joy.
Each event showed how much Bristol loves coming together — families, students, and locals connecting through good food and creativity.
Now we want to grow this spirit with regular Saturday Street Food Markets at Merton Road and so everyone can eat well, meet friends, and feel part of the community.
