Premium Korean Dining @ Daorae Korean BBQ Restaurant

27-Jun ~ Daorae Korean BBQ Restaurant
My sis birthday falls on the 29-Jun. Hence, she had decided to treat us in this new restaurant in the neighborhood.

As a starter, we were all given a bowl of this seaweed soup. Unlike the usual seaweed we have, this have a strong taste of the fermented beans sauce.
And it is on the house. Then we were tumbled up with lots a Korean appetizers’ ABSOLUTELY for free flow and ABSOLUTELY taste yummy!! From left, was the milky mashed potato. Served cold as you can taste bits of potato as well.
Next was this stir fried long beans with garlic.
Then was this stir fried spinach.

And this was the most YUMMY!! Frankly, I was not a diehard fan for Kimchi coz you will need the good ingredients in order to make a bowl of excellent Kimchi. But this, it really deserve to be praise…. Anti-clock wise from the right, was this Spicy shredded turnips with ikan bilis. Eventually, it was not spicy…
Then was the star of the night, KIMCHI!!
Lastly, were these poached bean sprouts. Another 2 side dishes was as below:
Fr left, Cubes Turnips in Chili and Stewed Sweet pumpkin… the pumpkin was so tender and soft and just melted in your mouth….
Ohhhhhh…. We have ordered 2sets of the BBQ set hence, some garnishing coming along as well. 1st, was this green leafy vegetable serve to wrap the BBQ-ed meat. Then, was this special Korean fermented bean sauce a.k.a Taucheong in Chinese and also some sesame oil. Lastly, was this bowl of slices garlic soaked in oil. Ever wonder why?? And here comes our BBQ set. We have ordered this; Hanbang Dweji Wang Galbi. (RM35). This is the fillet of pork ribs marinated with Korean Ginseng and herbs as well as sweet soy sauce. It was very well marinated. While the staff over there will help to grill for you, they too put the little bowl of slices of garlic soaked with oil on the grill pan as well.The taste….taste as good as it looks!!The staffs keep on turning the meat in order not to burn or to overcook the meat itself. Once it is done, they cut the fillet into biting size and served to us. This is where the garlic in the little bowl started to be jumping around the boiling oil… and this explains why...

How to treat yourself with the BBQ-ed meat:

Take a piece of the BBQ-ed meat and dip in the sesame oil then put on the leafy vegetable. Then lay on the slight brown garlic with the meat. Wrapped up the vege and then simply dashed with some Korean TauCheong….and….and…imagine it yourself….or better still… Come and savor it yourself… LOL

Next was this Dak Gal Bi, (RM27) chicken filet marinated in hot chili sauce. Surprisingly, it was not hot at all. I still prefer the strong taste of the pork..LOLComing up was this, PaJeon (RM27). I called this as Korean seafood pancake. This savory pancake was filled with bits of seafood and juliennes of spring onion were garnished on top of the pancake. It was crunchy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Another must try dish, Jab Chee Bok-um-bab. (RM17). Korean glass noodle pan fried with rice. In this dish, you will find lots of shredded pork with all sorts of seasoned vegetables and fried with sesame oil. The glass noodle was stringy enough and it paired up delightfully with the rice. Double good for this!!Then, was tis Dolsot-Bibim-bab (RM19). Bed of rice was scoop into this piping hot of a bowl made from the stone. To garnish, they put lots of seasoned vegetables and lastly they put an egg on top of the vegetables. To finish this perfectly, you will need to stir evenly with Korean chili paste. You will ask for more…for sure….as it served double HOT. Hot from the bowl and Hot in the mouth… This is Haemol-guk-su-jeon-gol (RM55), this is a seafood pot where you will finds variety of fresh seafood. You will find scallops, oysters, prawns, clams a.k.a Lala, fish cake and slices of turnips. Stewed in a rich stock and lastly garnished with some Korean flat noodles…
It was RED and I thought that this will spicy for sure. And it was not….fortunately….
The soup was so ‘sweet’ as the ingredients were fresh.
This was FOC. Steamed egg with fish cakes. Taste similar to Japanese Chawanmushi but the texture was not smooth enough...Besides this, we have watermelon as well as dessert. Another highlight of the day, Rice tea. This so called rice brewed tea, was brewed with ginger. These sweet teas do have a touch of heady taste, thanks to the ginger!! To me this tea tastes like the soup base use for Tong Yuen.
Love it!!
Overall, this restaurant did really serve Premium Korean Dining as claimed in the signboard!!
If you do come by, do remember to drop by with your empty stomach then!!
