going korean

After our last paper of finals, we headed to Ampang's Korean Village for a Korean feast. It's called Korean Village mainly because there are many Korean restaurants around that area, about 15 to 20 restaurants I think. We ended up at Jal Dae Ji because I was craving for their kimchi soup. Ngek ngek ngek. Their soup is simply delicious, that's it if you are a sour and spicy person.

The vegs are to be wrapped with the meats along with sesame oil, garlic, soy sauce, and a small green chili.

Side dishes or Banchan.

I think all of the Korean restaurants serve different side dishes, some with sugar fried anchovy or fried potatoes or fried taufu etc. The standard one is the kimchi. The best side dishes I had so far was at Seoul Korea Restaurant, which I dropped by on the same week with the parents. Two Korean meals in a week! What a treat!

Idk what is this called, taufu soup?

Tadah, my favorite kimchi soup, serves best with rice. It costs RM18. Three of us ordered this since I was praising highly on this dish.

Spicy Korean rice cake is a must order. RM30+

Not forgetting the marinated pork and chicken too. The waiter will grill the meats for us, which I thought it's a good thing because they grill it better than we do. In Jal Dae Ji, they use charcoals instead of gas, so the meats have this smoky charcoal flavor in them. Arhhh. Yum.

We were the last customers before they close at 3.30pm.

After our late lunch, we went to the nearest shopping mall, Ampang Point for tea, but we ended up bowling instead because they were having a promotion, BUY 2 FREE 3. What a bargain right? Maybe because it's the Muslim's puasa period.

Like a pro...hahaha.
