Woohoo!!!! I am a year older ANDDDDD wiser! No..... I am still young and i love my life. Recently, Angel and the new guest of honor to this blog, Jol celebrated my birthday in a Korean restaurant called Daoroe Korean BBQ Restaurant. It was my choice of food and I hinted to them weeks back that I had that once and I love it. Guess the hint get obvious and they love me so much that they bring me there on my birthday.Korean is famous for their healthy banchan (Korean side dishes) that complement their main meal We are spoilt with 12 choices of banchan and its replenished whenever we finished the dishes one on table. Bad side We have to remind the poor waiter to restock that for us as there are way too patrons at the time of our stay.For the main meal, the captain reminded that we have to get one entrée each and we have 7 of us there. 7 main meals We looked at each other and asking our self are we that crazy to have 7 main meals with 12 restock able side dishes That is too much!!!! Luckily…. Nice captain advice us to get the Korean rice (RM5.00) as it’s accounted as main meal. Phew!! Relief!!! But… its still expensive considering it’s only a small bowl of rice. Well, they say these grain flew all the way from Korea thus the price.

Daorae table setup allowed a stove to be placed in the middle of the dining table. The use of this stove BBQ- grilling meats such as beef, pork and chicken!!!! T & C You have to order at least 2 BBQ main meal to allowed them to cook at the stove. Bad side The staff cooks for you. Hmmm…. Wondering why they need the staff to cook anddddd cut the meat for the patrons Since you allowed the open stove concept, the patron should do it themselves but well, I guess its Daorae style of serving their customers. We had Pork Ju-mul-luk (pork slice BBQ) (RM35.00), Dak-gla-bi (chicken BBQ) (RM28.00) and Wang Gal Bi (Thick Beef Slice) (RM55.00) to go on the stove. The meats are grilled perfectly and the juices remain inside the meat. Complete heaven if you wrap it with lettuce (replenish-able) and pop it to your mouth. The combination is superb. Not oily and it feels good!We ordered the hot pot-haemool-guk-su-jeon-seafood (seafood kimchi soup) (RM50.00) as the other main dishes because too much grilled just too ‘grilled’ for the nightJ. Well, this kimchi soup has lots of seafood variety ranging from crab, prawn, clams and handful of mushroom. The bill You do the maths but considering teh good service and thoughtful staff, it worth every penny。

Conclusion is I love the luxury Korean dinner that they treat me and the effort for getting me the mouth-watering cake. Thank you sisters and guys.

There are many good restaurant hidden in Empire Subang. I had a chance to visit one of it thanks to the recommendation from my ex- collegue, Shanks. The place is called Vanilla Place. It’s located on the 1st floor of the mall and the design of the place is classical with a bit of elegant feel. What catches my attention when I reach there is the colorful macaron. It looks cute as they have the tiny macaron (RM2.50/ each) and the medium size macaron (RM4.50/ each). I’m with bunch of friends who don’t really fancy this cutey so I passed this round. Definitely will go back to grab few later days.We had few choices of spaghetti and pasta. I have to say that the presentation is good and its tasted well too. A good combination of presentation and flavorable food done by Vanilla Place. Nice…..Seafood Aglio Olio (RM14.90) is another must try food there. Simple spaggetti made in extra virgin olive oil and garlics served with grilled prawns, mussels and squids. Spaghetti Seafood Pesto (RM14.90) of theirs is just in right taste. The aroma of basil with olive oil make this dish more appertizing.Mushroom soup (RM8.90) which was extremely thick and concentrated with mushroom bits! The scent was overwhelming and I love the mushroom bits that allowed me to have the extra savor of the soup. Comes with the bread on the side and dip it to the soup and simply amazingAfter the filling main courses, here comes the desserts
Bread & Butter Pudding. Gosh! This is good! Chocolate brownies with ice cream. Very chocolate flavor. Mixture with soft ice cream is just awesome.This place worth a second trip……
