Bokbunjajoo (RM58.50) - sweet red wine made from Korean black raspberries
1.6 million tonnes of kimchi consumed every year in Korea (approx. weight of 5 Petronas Towers)..
We were invited to a sneak preview of its menu yesterday at Paradigm Mall. However, please note that we did not try all the dishes shown in! this bl ogpost as there was not enough food to go around. I will only comment on the dishes that I have tried.
Complimentary oksusu cha (corn tea)
Complimentary ban chan - so sad that I did not even get to try the kimchi here
Korean kimchi
Complimentary corn, sugar snap peas and sweet potato - I think the corn has been boiled in vinegar water.
Haemul Doenjang Jjigae (RM26.90) - slow cooked doenjang broth or soybean stew with shrimps, soft shell crab and vegetables - didn't try so no comment
It does look very good though
After photos, it was taken to the kitchen to cook and then served
Janchi guksu (RM17.90) - known as "party noodles" in Korean as it is usually eaten during special occasions such as wedding and birthdays, served with seafood broth and garnished with lots of vegetables - I liked this however it was cold when we ate it.
Bulgogi bibimbap (RM29.90) - combination of beef and vegetables, served on top of rice and special spicy sauce. The spicy sauce is served separately so you can decide how spicy you want it to be. This was very good, the portion I got had the crispy bits from the bottom of the bowl so it was nice and crunchy. Beef is very flavorful.
Never burp alone..
Bulgogi Brothers Special (RM81.90 for 400g, RM121.90 for 600g) - the beef used here is Australian beef. This platter is a combination of Unyang and Gwangyang-style bulgogi. The Unyang-sik bulgogi is a considered royal cuisine and made in heart-shape, said to be very popular with couples in Korea. The Gwangyang-sik bulgogi is thinly sliced seasoned beef served with leeks, sweet potatoes, mushrooms and onions. These will be grilled tableside by the server as each table is equipped with a customized induction cooker. I managed to try a little of both, and preferred the Gwangyang-sik bulgogi, however I guess if I was going on a date with Hubby, the heart-shaped one would be pretty sweet ;P
Sizzle, sizzle
Yukhoe (RM45.90) - julienned raw beef marinated in a mixture of chillies, served with fresh pears and cucumber - no comment cos didn't try :(
Seoulsik Bulgogi (RM52.90) - beef marinated in their special bulgogi sauce made with apple and pear, served with glass noodles, enoki mushrooms, leeks and onions - this was my favorite dish, very nicely marinated and also possibly cos it was still hot when served to us.
Haemul pajeon (RM27.90) - Korean style pancake with seafood and green onions - didn't try so no comment
Soji-to (RM14.90) - the popular Mojito is given a Korean twist, made with soju instead of rum - didn't try so no comment.
Makguli cocktail (RM27.90) - sweet and milky makguli (rice wine) mixed with strawberry or pineapple liqeur - didn't try so no comment.
