To be frank, I'm not a fan of Korean food, at least not in Malaysia, tried a few times but it just doesn't click. Authentic Korean cuisine back at their country during my visit last year was not bad though, especially their Kimchi, taste so much better compared to here.
But still, how can my denial on that certain country of food influence my boyfriend's judgement? Hence, we have decided to give it a trial, whether it gains a yes or no in Jason's opinion.

Side Dishes

 
Side Dishes of Kimchi Cabbage, Kimchi Cucumber, Bean Sprouts and Pumpkin Pancake.
I would push the Kimchi Cabbage aside in some Korean restaurants because of its overly pungent flavor but not in Won Korean Dining. This was definitely not my best Kimchi, but for someone who didn't like Kimchi to get her plate refilled, I think they did a pretty good job.

Kimchijigae (Kimchi Stew) RM22
Love might not be the word, but a simple yes and nod will do. Again, it was balanced with spiciness and natural taste of the ingredients.

 
Salted olive oil, spicy bean paste, raw garlic and green chili.
Samgyupsal (Roast Pork Belly)

Samgyupsal (Roast Pork Belly) RM30 each
Minimum 2 portion to place the order. Such beautiful texture of the meat to feast the eyes.

Aromatic with crisp texture, succulent yet not that oily at the same time.

In Korean restaurant, whenever one orders grilled meat, the attentive staffs would always drop by, check on the meat, overturn it and even cut it into smaller pieces for easier consumption. Though this might be a point of good services, but it is not in my opinion. I wouldn't want anyone to interrupt us during conversation then we have got this very awkward moment of staring into each other or simply looking at the action of the staff. That.Silent.Moment.

With green lettuce as base, we've added in julienne veges then mix and match the sauces before putting the delicious pork belly meat on top.

We have also tried another way of eating by simply dipping it into salted olive oil.

Overall, it was a good Korean dining experience for both Jason and me. Nothing much to complain about.

Sumo Onigiri @Kuchai Lama OK Aug 12, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Restaurant

 
Established on last year, Sumo Onigiri has 2 branches at Damansara Utama and Kuchai Lama.
Last week, we dropped by its Kuchai Lama branch occupying only half of the shop unit.

 
There are 3 types of seating at Kuchai Lama branch; whether to face beautiful red leaves scene, chat with friends or just sit at the bar counter watching the preparation process.

A choice made as suggested by the staff.

Add another RM2 for a set meal including chawanmushi and miso soup.
Green tea was on separate order.
Miso Soup

Miso Soup

 
Miso soup of spring onion, seaweed and tofu
Mediocre, but enough to warm the stomach.
Chawanmushi was smooth in texture yet expect no ingredient but plain steamed egg.

 
Would be better if the background music just stick on Japanese song only in creating the ambience of Japan.

Overall, the food was tasty with fast preparation time.
However, the service was poor.
Staffs struggling to understand us while we asked for the mango tango cake several times.

Dinner Smile Oct 05, 2013

I have recently discovered this place as i walked randomly for dinner. I must admit that this is the best char kuey teow I've had in town. Being super generous with the ingredients, it has "siu lap" (chinese sausages), cockles, bean sprouts and "zhu you za" (deep fried pork lard) that my friend teased it was fried ingredients instead of fried kuey teow. Bites of heaven for pork lover aka me.

Another visit to Shin Kee but this time without the yellow noodle but kuey teow as they're already sold out. Be there early as I've seen some cases where only mee hoon is left. They do serve innards but i'm no fan of spare parts so I opted for beef balls instead. their beef balls are very bouncy and chewy. their beef sliced meat is another recommendation too, being cooked just nice.
