After my less that satisfying Dolsot Bibimbap, I decided to revisit Han Woo Ri@Damansara Uptown (which I visited with my partner a few times). That was where I tasted my first ever bibimbap and liked it.
I ordered from the set lunch menu and I was served this tea which tasted more like green tea that I am used to.
The side dishes. That's more like it. Six banchan even though I was alone.
They are more generous than that other place.
They were all very nice except that I don't like the omelette. I mean, I love eggs and omelette, just not the ones served as banchan.
My favorite has to be the cucumber kimchi. It was so so nice.
I was also served with a soup that was flavorful.
My bibimbap, My only complaint is the gojuchang was too little. I should have asked for more.
I mixed it all up. I think it could do with more seasoning. So I poured some of the kimchi from my banchan into the mix hee..hee...
I was about to go to the cashier to pay when a server stopped me. Wait. Dessert. Oh, OK....
I like that barley drink. It has a smoky aroma. Very nice. This meal cost me RM20.05, slightly more by RM2.35 compared to the other place and this is way better. I'll come here when I want Korean food.
I think the egg is more similar to Japanese tamago (steamed rolled egg) than omelette, right? that day I just ate bibimbap but did not use the gojuchang that they provided at all because I don't like the sweetish taste of the fermented soy sauce.
ReplyDeleteYup, and I do not like tamago >.<
DeleteI'm not really crazy about this or anything Korean but the ladies love it - in fact, they love anything Korean. :(
ReplyDeleteYes, I know hah..hah...
DeleteI tak pernah try Korean food yg heavy mcm ni LL....Sedap ke? Dah tentulah sedapkan LL kalau suka hihi...
ReplyDeleteHari tu i buat kimchi tau....entah tetiba tekak nak berk-pop pula hihi...
LL suka makanan Korea tapi tak suka bintang filem Korea sebab lelaki macam pompuan >.< Anyway, kimchi LL tak suka. Pandai pulak Hainom buta kimchi :)
DeleteRm20 feels reasonable for a Korean main meal with banchan ... almost more like 2012 prices instead of 2017 prices ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, very reasonable price and I am very likely to return :)
DeleteI eat Korean food, but not into it...
ReplyDeleteI know...
DeleteBanyak jugak item tu PH,masih worth it dgn price tu..
ReplyDeleteSaya kurenggg siket korean food ni..kalau chineese food ok..kn ngn selera
Lina, rami jugak yang tak berapa minat Korean food. Yang dorang minat ialah Korean drama dengan K-pop hah..hah...
DeleteHi Phong Hong, Korean food actually not that expensive. Their side dishes a bit of this and that also very filling already. Your this set look good.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day, regards.
Amelia
Hi Amelia! Yes, can survive just on the side dishes. So can order less mains hee..hee...
DeleteYums!
ReplyDeleteMade me miss Korean food now. Haha
Go and eat lah! hee..hee..
DeleteThe ban chan selection is what I always look forward to whenever I have Korean food.
ReplyDeleteYes, me too! I love to nibble on those and my favs are the ikan bilis and cucumber kimchi :)
DeleteI don't mind Korean Food and I love Kimchi, I like the pork in Korean Food too
ReplyDeleteTheir BBQ is the best!
DeleteI appreciate all the side dishes that come with Korean food. At some places I could make a meal of them on their own!
ReplyDeleteYes, we can order a small main and nosh up on the sides. But I bet they won't be too happy about that hah..hah..
DeleteI was just about to say that omelette is not commonly served as a banchan (I don't think I've been served that before)...and then I found out you didn't like it ;) I may not like Korean food that much but I've always loved their barley drink :)
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, that barley drink is awesome. It has some kind of smoky smell to it.
DeleteI can eat Japanese food but not Korean. I can actually but prefer not to.. ^_^ I don't like green tea so whenever I go to this kind of resto, I will ask for plain water ^_^ So, so kampunglah me!
ReplyDeleteMD, I noted that many do not really like Korean food. But I like it especially the BBQ.
DeleteWah. That is a lot for a person portion. You can finish them all??
ReplyDeleteYou know me, my stomach got a lot of space one. hah..hah..
DeletePoor thing you didn't have a good Dolsot Bibimbap which tastes better than normal Bibimbap because they have a stronger aroma over fired clay bowls and slightly burnt taste. Just my personal opinion.
ReplyDeleteMy Korean room mate shared with me their unique way of making their healthy rice and barley beverages. They would add water into the used rice cooker bowls where the deliberately burnt rice is at the bottom. Let the water boil and then drink it up! Bingo!
The same similar method for barley grains.
Poor me, I want to taste very good Dolsot Bibimbap :(
DeleteIs that how they make the drink? hah..hah..
I think I have tasted Korean food once. Not a fan of kimchi.
ReplyDeleteI am also not a fan of kimchi although I will eat it.
