OKU is a modern Japanese restaurant, located inside Hotel Kempinski Indonesia. This modern Japanese restaurant is helmed by Chef Kazumasa Yazawa who was was Executive Chef at the Japanese restaurant Izy Dining Restaurant & Bar in Singapore. I had an opportunity to visit this place last weekend. So how was my OKU dining experience went on? The word OKU itself means layers, implying the peeling back of the layers of an onion, representing the culinary journey that visitors will experience at this place while savoring these “life stories”.

Once upon a time there was a Little Prince who came from Asteroid B-612, stranded on Sahara Desert where he met the pilot. Some of you might be familiar with this story, some of you might not even heard of it. And so, what is the connection of this Little Prince story and this Petite France in South Korea? So Petite France is a famous French culture village with 'Rose, Asteroid, and Le Petite Prince' as its concept. You might have seen this place before in several dramas and variety shows, but I should tell you that this place is a bit meaningless to visit if you don't read The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince) - a French novel by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. But if you want to know about this place, let's wander around a little bit with me.
