Been craving for Korean food for quite sometime and thanks to Pipu who recommended this particular Korean restaurant. Ok, actually i think she highly recommended this restaurant just because Rain (the supposedly Korean hunk) had dine there before.

Look above

After looking at the many posters of Rain plastered in the restaurant i half expected that the eatery will be packed with screaming school girls LOL. But surprisingly the place was full sometime after 7.30pm, mostly with families.

Up up up

Daorae Korean BBQ Restaurant, Kota Damansara branch is located on the third floor of the building. It’s actually above the Khalifah Bistro. If you’re not familiar with the area and if not for the neon marque sign, most probably you’ll miss the restaurant.

Quite spacious right?

Oh yeah, don’t be put off by the small and old elevator to the 3rd floor alright? The restaurant is actually quite spacious and well maintained.

Ala Traditional style

The host would most probably recommend you to try the BBQ set which you can actually bbq at your table using charcoal (Mr. Bf seemed quite interested with the extendable air vacuum thingy), but after having Kajang satay the other day we decided it was too heaty. We ordered the small hotpot set instead.

Kimchi Jeon Gol

The Kimchi Jeon Gol portion was huge! We ordered the small set which i think turned out well enough for 3/4 person! It’s crazy!

10 side dishes!

Kimchi Jeon Gol is something like curry instant noodle but less spicy and more sour since the soup base is made of kimchi. There are lotsa big pieces of tauhu pork. As usual with Korean food, the set also comes with 10 side dishes, all i loved especially the kimchi and the jellyfish. We even received a complimentary side dish (Korean steam egg) from the host. I was quite happy then because i’m all for free stuffs *wakaka!

Complimentary Steamed Egg

You know we had no idea that the Kimchi Jeon Gol set came with noodles. I don’t recall it was on the menu. If we knew then we would not have ordered additional rice and another type of noodle (Kimchi Mari Goks).

Kimchi Mari Goks - Cold Soba Noodle

But it turned out for the best because i loved the Kimchi Mari Goks. It’s cold soba noodle with kimchi, seeweed, cucumber and sesame. I heart most dishes with sesame. It makes everything more aromatic, don’t you think? And the portion is huge too. It’s perfect for 2 person sharing.

Brrrrr…..

Overall it’s quite satisfying. Service excellent and fast. Price is reasonable considering the extremely large portion. Remember, Kimchi Jeon Gol could feed 4 person and the Kimchi Mari Goks could well feed 2 person. Next time, will bring more people to share the food :).

Kimchi Jeon Gol (Small) - RM50.00
Kimchi Mari Goks - RM16.00
Rice x 2 - RM10.00

Total: RM83.60 (RM76.00 + RM3.80 = tax + RM7.60 = service)
