Restaurant Korean House @SS2

     This Korean House located at SS2, PJ, upstair of a shop. 

The menu was designed luxurious.

     The first impression that restaurant leaf to me wasn't so good. That day, we went to celebrate my friend's birthday. That was a hot Sunday afternoon. The small restaurant was filled with customers. This was a small restaurant which have around 10 tables, I think. When we reach there, there was nobody came to serve us. 6 of us have been stand there for about 15 minutes for looking the screws ran in and out. Got a couple standing in front of the counter and waiting for cashier too. We were like a transparent souls and no one noticed us. By the time passed and our patiences being faded, we stopped one of the waitress and asked any available seats. That waitress said yes and pointed to us and then leaf. We were stunted there at that moment. We thought she will lead us to the seat. At last, we went to find the empty seats for our own. Maybe they were too busy.

     If you wanna to order the BBQ set, you have to ordered at 2 sets. This was their rule. One set of BBQ at least RM30. So we didn't ordered as we ordered the promotion set lunch, which is RM10. The side dish were quite a lot, around 10 types. But seriously, that was normal taste only. Kimchi plays a soul role in korean cusine. For this korean house, the kimchi has a space to improve even my friend also shaking his head while testing it. But the cucumber pickles was quite good, slightly sour and refreshing. The japanese egg bean curd also not bad. 

      The set lunch we ordered included rice, soup and fried meat. You can choose chicken, pork or octupus for the meat. We ordered 3 of them. All were fried with cabbage and actually taste the same except the texture of meat. The octupus has beaten all the other 2 out as it was really chewy, by the way the price for it also double up. Actually the portion of meat they gave quite a lot, actually was quite full. Although they stated  that it was spicy but honestly it wasn't. 

Spicy Fried Chicken (RM9.90)

Spicy Fried Octupus (RM22)

Spicy Fried Pork (RM9.90)

    We also ordered other dishes. We did a very stupid mistake that was we ordered the spicy fried pork..It was exactly the same as our set lunch! In conclusion, all the fried meat come from same source, all are same taste.. 

Spicy Fried Pork (RM28)

     We also ordered the Ginseng Chicken Soup which was around RM28 if not mistaken. That one was quite nice. It was enough for 4 people. Although it has no strong herbal taste and smell as chinese herbal soup did, it was still delicious. The light taste tonic soup boots up your energy.

     The dish here was normal level and little pricey. The policy of obligatary order 2 sets for bbq wasn't a welcome act for me.

Bar B. Q. Plaza @ Berjaya Times Square

     Berjaya times square is a nice shopping complex in KL. Beside shopping, there is a theme park too. After playing the theme park, you may feel hungry and don't know where can eat. So, Bar B.Q. plaza is one of the choices where you can enjoy the BBQ! (note: it's non-halal)

Supreme Mixed RM34.90

 BarB Gon is the mascot of Bar B Q Plaza. He is a cute cheerful dragon.

      The menu is variety in combination. They have family set, supreme set, economic set and bbq items. So the price range from affordable to little bit pricey. The way they decorate the food is fascinating. This enhances  our appetites too. The set includes the meats and vegetables where we can experience self-grilling. Such cooking experience makes dining at Bar B Q Plaza enjoyable and mesmerising. The air convection is good so you won't feel smoky and stink after the meal. The meal is also accompanied by specially prepared sauce, which taste just right for grilled food. There is also lemon juice, chili and garlic prepared. You can mix them with the sauce or cook it with the meat. All up to you as you are the chef!

     The supreme mixed set has sirloin,beef, bacon, chicken, squid, udon, shrimps, lettuce and other vegetables. The meat are cut into thin slides and easy to grill. You will see the beef turn into brown in less than 1 minute time. Dip the meat with their sauce and it tastes sweet! It is good to eat without the sauce too. Besides, the shrimps are really fresh and nice! You can add on the water in your pot. So that you can cook the soup which has accumulated all the meaty essence. The soup was suitable to cook the vegetable and meatball. You can also boil your meat or shrimps.

Supreme set 

Grill the meat on the center of hot pot and boil the water which surround the center.

     The appetiser we ordered was soft crabs salad. The soft crabs were crunchy and salty whereas the salad was sour sweet and crunchy peanuts gave another texture to this dish. Not bad.

Uncle Jang Korean Restaurant @Solaris Mont Kiara

      This is a restaurant which located at the 3rd floor of the building. When I first visited this restaurant, the staircase was in dark and the basement was lighted up by using few candles. First I thought it was purposely designed like this, such romantic idea. But the truth was always cruel..Light bulb was spoiled..

     When I stepped in the restaurant, it was happening. Here has no luxury design and quite disappoitning at its interior design..or I should say it has no design at all. Every table will have a big sizzling pot. The environment was little bit crowded and the air convection was really quite bad. You will feel hot and the smoke kept came out from the sizzling pot which may make you breath harder if there was no fan there. 

     

     Nevermind, we focus on its food. It's famous of Korean traditional food: Dak-Galbi. They fry the chicken, cabbage, rice cake and sweet potatoes on a big sizzling pot in front of you. They will put their special sauce and make it appears darker. Basically, just mix up all the ingredient. So the taste was really not so great..I like the ramen (with additional price of RM6) and the sweet potatoes.Beside that,  I really can't find  any special thing in this dish except the way they cooked ( cooked in a big sizzling pot in front of you and made you smell like stinky after backed home).

     Oh ya, another special thing is you have to wear the apron to protect yourself. Otherwise, the gravy or ingredient may spilled on your cloth. Don't put your handphone or purse on the table while they are cooking unless you wanna taste your phone or purse too. 

     The menu was really limited. The price also little bit pricy, RM22. There is a rule that you must ordered at least 2 people portion then so they will cook the Dak-Galbi for you. I think 2 person meals was enough for 3 small appetite girls. The sides dish they gave were merely kimchi (not really nice, strong preservative taste) and salad. 

     The impression it leaves: It is just good enough to come once time. Quite unique experience as you have to wear apron and enjoy the waiter cooks with the big sizzling pot in front of you, good interaction.

Dong Seoul Korea Restaurant

For Korean food lover, this is definitely a recommended place you must go for. This korean restaurant named dong seoul korean restaurant. The design and decoration in this restaurant are simple and comfortable, which make you feel the cuisine of korean once you step into this restaurant!! The table design is just exactly same as the korean style, which you are required to sit on the floor to enjoy the meal (which you see from the korean drama).

For it's food, I will recommend that it's better for a group of friends to chill out together, as it is really big portion it will serve. More that what you have imagine. As observe from the situation during the day, I will recommend 4-6 person per table as it is just sufficient and nice. The tasty and delicious food that I wanna recommend is their "fried dong hoon". You will never have any chance to taste such funny , tricky and delicious food in your life, as there is no way that it can be cook in such a way except in korean restaurant. Since I tried out in this restaurant, it totally change my mind and concept towards "dong hoon". It is a kind of noodle , transparent in color, and need be soak in water to make it soft before can be cook and serve. The tenderness and simple ingredient that cook together with it will gave you surprise for every bite you take. 

Fried Dong Hoon

As for korean cuisine, bbq meat is a necessary to be presence on any dish they serve on the table, so as to immerse in such situation, I also ordered the pork which marinated before hand.

 For any meat that you ordered, they will all come with side dish. After a rough count, there is estimately 11 side dish they serve. There is really plenty as it totally occupied your table!! One of the benefit that you can gain from this restaurant is that all the side dish are free to top up, which means there is no worry for you to charge for additional side dish!!

 After the end of your meal, the kindest boss will serve with a korean traditional drinks. Basically I have no idea what drink is that, but after i drank it, it kinda taste like similar with "barley" juice. However, it is actually made by rice. It is really match well after you had a feast. It makes you feel comfortable as this drinks is slightly sweet in taste, but make you just feel nice and good at the moment.

Che Go korean BBQ restaurant @ Tebrau Jusco

Che Go Korean BBQ Restaurant located at Tebrau Jusco, Johor Bahru. It was my first time to be there. Recently, have the urge to have korean food. I was being attracted deeply by it. 

     This restaurant was not so crowded at the afternoon time. Beside the BBQ, there was other dishes such as steamboat, snacks, rice in the stone bowl and etc.The environment was still ok. I like the that kind of seating  which was sitting on the floor while your legs can put inside a hole under the table.

    We ordered the set meal which includes their trademark grill beef, 6 side dish, fruit, one bowl of Kimchi soup and 2 bowl of rices.This set costed RM68. The meal was delivered in awhile time and the waiter was helping us to BBQ the beef. When he was cooking, the smell of the beef made our saliva lost of control and flooded our mouths. The beef was grilled with the onion, corn, pepper and enoki mushroom. The beef was just well-cooked and tenderness. We  enrolled the beef, onion, kimchi and the paste with the salad and ate. The beef was so sweet and nice! It made us can't stop to eat it.

     Talk about the side dishes, these were kimchi, guava, fish cake, celery, finger ladies and fruit salad. The guava was sweet and tasty. Beside the kimchi and guava, other side dishes need to be improved..The kimchi soup was not spicy and it made me frowned and disappointed. The fruit served was 4 slides of watermelon and it was pale and  not sweet.

     

    

Side dishes were allow to refill. The salad was too less and small so we refilled for several times.

     Overall, the beef was really marvelous! The side dish and kimchi soup were normal only.

Bulgogi Brother Korean BBQ Restaurant @ KL

      After watching <Running Man>, the urge of having Korean BBQ raised in my heart. So we went to the Midvalley to hunt for the Korean BBQ restaurant. Bulgogi Brother was at the level 3 and we wanted to have try at it. 

     The waiters welcomed us with "annyeonghaseyo". Once opened the menu, most of the dish were beef. It was not a suitable place for you if you can't eat beef. We ordered the Seoulsik Bulgogi which the beef marinated with their special sauce made with apple and pear, served with glass noodles, onion, enoki mushroom and leeks. This dish was served with other small  side dish also. The waiter delivered the set meal and cooked the beef in front of us. The smell of beef arouse while he was cooking. After done cook, the waiter will help you to serve the beef in everyone's bowls. The sauce which contained the essence of beef was sweet and I thought it contributed from the apple and pear. You can eat like a Korean by enroll the beef in the salad and put on some special source they provided and eat. It was delicious! We added on the rice cake to this dish which made it a more fullness meal.

Side dish: the lotus roots and pumpkin were sweet but the kimchi was normal.

Seoulsik  Bulgogi 300gm RM52.90. Add on rice cake with extra RM3.50

This corn tea was special taste and very good taste!

One of the side dish: more like dessert, very sweet.

The waiter was cooking the seoulsik.

     Chicken Kimchi Jjigae was a must ordered soup if you love spicy kimchi soup. This korean stew made from spicy kimchi paste, tofu, rice cakes and juicy chicken thighs marinated over 6 hours in their special sauce. This will served with white rice. Extremely good for this stew!

Chicken Kimchi Jjigae RM21.90
