After all the walking, stomach growling again. Wife mentioned about a voucher for Korean food and so we end up in Seoul Garden at Jalan Kuchai Maju 1.
We placed our orders and the first thing brought to our table is 12 type of side dishes (or appetizer, or whatever...). We have (from left to right & top to bottom):
- Long beans
- Bean sprout (don't like it)
- Shredded sea weed
- Ikan bilis with peanut (ain't this local? Can't recall having this the last time I was in Korea)
- Spinach
- Sweet potato
- Fruit and vege in mayo sauce (I tasted brocolli & apple)
- Pickled cucumber
- Kimchi (it won't be a complete Korean meal without this)
- Seaweed soup (taste sour)
- Mini pancakes
- Sliced sausages with onions
Next came the BBQ chicken served with the usual lettuce, bean paste sauce, another type of sauce that's a bit spicy, some optional sliced garlic & green chilli. Taste a bit sweet. Chicken is tender. But I would prefer my BBQ to have a slight bit of char to them. We didn't get a table with the exhaust thingy and grill, they were grilled some place else and brought to our table. Plus point, we don't smell like chicken at the end of the meal.
The set we ordered also came with the Kimchi-jjigae (kimchi stew with pork & tofu) & Dolsot Bibim-bap (rice with assorted mixture in a stone bowl). The missus loves the rice, I find it ok but hates the hard crust at the bottom. Being a kimchi soup, Kimchi-jjgiae tasted spicy and sour. Taste great with the bowl of steamed rice that comes with it.
We also ordered the Kimchi-jein (pancake with sliced pork & kimchi) or as we called it, the Korean pizza. This wasn't part of the set, so it cost an additional RM30. On hindsight, shouldn't have added this coz at the end of the meal, we're both bloated...sooooo fuuuuuull....
