Dak-Galbi is so famous recently due to many people discussed about them. The usual food hunter me salivated over the pictures and words and thinking when am I going to try this Korean delicacy. As usual, I dragged my sister along with me. We have been talking about going for a visit for almost few months, until today we finally have a chance to go together.We arrived there at 12 noon sharp which is the opening time and there were already 2 tables occupied. The temperature inside the restaurant
We arrived there at 12 noon sharp which is the opening time and there were already 2 tables occupied. The temperature inside the restaurant was a bit too warm but I can't put the blame on them, as the weather itself is scorching hot, plus they just opened their shop. You can wear the provided apron to prevent stains on your shirt as a result of the cooking process done in-front of you.
We ordered Hot Spicy (RM22) and Normal (RM19) portion each. Minimum order is 2 portions and you can mix them together as you like. Dak-Galbi consists of fresh chicken chop, cabbage, sweet potatoe and rice cakes. Not forgetting to order the fried rice sari (RM6) which is a popular sari (side dish) ordered by other patrons.
The waiter then served us plain icy cold water, lettuce leaves, kimchi, pickled onions, bean paste and garlic slices. The first three items are refillable.
The staff will cook it for you. All you have to do is just sit back and relax, maybe taking some good pictures of it Beware that the smell could be too strong due to its spiciness and make you sneeze.
Pretty large portion for two. Looking at the red hot pepper paste mixed together with the chicken cubes makes me salivate even further! The staff will inform you whether it is ready to eat or not. As shown in the picture, we were allowed to dig in =D
I love how they mix the spicy chilli paste as it is fragrant and flavourful. Mixed with all other ingredients makes a perfect match. However, it is kinda oily after observing the oil accumulated underneath the ingredients and coated with the cabbage slices. It was a bit too spicy for us so we might want request for less spicy during the next visit. Overall, taste was fantastic, enjoyable and syok!
After eating about 2/3 of the Dak-Galbi, the staff added the sari for us. The cooked rice came with raw shredded lettuce and some kimchi slices underneath if I'm not mistaken.
Mashisoyo!Mix, mix and mix producing another red hot looking batch of food! Again, the rice coated with chilli paste was kinda too spicy and oily for us. But it was yummy! Forget about the oil and enjoy the taste. Love hate relationship, I still managed to eat a quarter of the rice.
You can add other sari as well like mushroom, udon, ramen, sweet potatoe and rice cake. I have tried adding udon too, I must say it is a really good combination.
Cool down the heat
You can find other Korean dishes here as well. I wanna try their Samgye-tang on the next visit!
