It has always been a very special day for me when it comes to my dearest birthday but at the same time it had been also a big headache planning on where, what and how to give him a suprise and make it as special as it could be.. As usual, thank god I had one burden less off my shoulder when it comes to gifts since every year , it will be transformers for him until to a point I felt it's nothing extraordinary...anyway, what else can I do? when it's just gonna bring smiles and laughter to him the moment he receives this. . . I had been sitting on a fence for quite long on deciding where to take him for dinner...western? Eastern? Chinese? or what? pheww...We wanted to go Cave restaurant at first, but then due to convenience in travelling, choice of food and environment wise, somehow that doesn't materialise. Western is just a no no for him since it will be too filling till the extent that he won;t enjoy the meal already. In the end, we picked and go for healthy food as usual which usually falls for Japanese else Korean!! haha.
We went to this branch at Sri Hartamas and it's also being my first time as well..It turns out not bad thankfully! But it's really weird initially as we need to remove our shoes below the staircase before going up the place...there are also metal look alike "chimneys" hanging up from the ceiling on every table seatings...which I don;t know what the hell it is at first..but then it has a purpose..the stove area which is meant for grilling and cooking will emmits out smoke which will then be absorbed up the chimneys to clear the air and reduce greasiness..Brilliant huh!? :D As for the food, it is more or less like the standard Korean style with either steamboat style or individual servings of noodle and rice...But I think their main attraction is the steamboat style. Service was really good as there will be enough staffs catered to look after and give a helping hand on the grilling part and practically serve us without having us to worry about cooking it ourselves as there could be a thousand and one ways of proper cooking. It might be disastrous if we are left to ourselves with that part..hahaha. The readily grilled pork was not just as simple as popping it in your mouth and eat but there were more to it..Dipped the grilled pork with their sesame oil sauce with fried shallots, a piece of garlic with their special Korean sauce and some thin shreds of look alike vegetables which tasted sour slightly...After having all these in place, you just need to wrap it tightly and firmly with lettuce and da ta!! It's ready for eating but you gotta popped in one go into your mouth to really enjoy!! :D It's really a whole new experience of actually having to taste original Korean food. Yummy....The total bill amount came up to RM 90 for two and I think it's still worth it though it's a bit pricey but on occasion like this, it's just no regrets at all. I will definitely visit here again and it's not going to be our last. :) The staffs there are Koreans without doubt and friendly as well. Environment is cosy and comfortable.
