Korean Palace @ Tanjung Tokong, Penang

*Phew!* I think it's about time to update this blog after so long! LOL!

I initially wanted to skip the Korean Palace update because I talk too much about Che Go and Daorae.. But it seems unfair to Korean Palace if I don't update them since I tried Korean Palace first prior to the two... :P


Basically this restaurant located at Tanjung Bungah (on the left side) which is before reaching Island Plaza if you are coming from Gurney area. I think you would need to pass by one traffic light after you passby the Bomba @ Gurney.. and this shop is located on the left hand side right above the electrical shop.. Also, you might need to take a lift right up to the shop too! ;)


Korean Palace's logo~


Their table setting near the window (for sceneric view --> only can view the traffic below loh.. no sea/mountain wan...) ..

They have those normal tables and chairs too but it's not near the window lah...

Their cookery...


And a jug of korean tea (FOC).


Like the other Korean restaurant that I've tried, they comes with these few cold dishes as well...


The one that I usually skip most is this.

Coz I couldn't tolerate sour. :P My hair (whatever body hair that I have lah...) will stand up.. LOL :P

As usual, I love Korean BBQ...


And this is what it comes with if you are ordering their BBQ..

See the leaves on the left.. it is very fragrant and has a strong minty feel to it.. but I don't know what's that call though... :P

The whole set looks like this..


Here's what we ordered..

Chicken~


in the making...


and tadaaa...


The right side of the chicken is the steam egg which is a complimentary dish. Japanese called Chawanmushi.. But very big portion right? Only Korean Palace offered this.. :P

We also ordered Squid..




What I preferred most is their marinated meat (they have marinated and non-marinated meat(, it has more flavour and taste to it.

Because this was our first time, the waiter there taught us how to eat BBQ. LOL.

It is by taking a piece of meat, wrap it up with a piece of leaf/cabbage, then add in garlic +pepper + sesame oil + chili. :D

The second time I went there I ordered their beef, and guess what! Their beef is superb!!! :D You gotta try their spare ribs! Yum Yum.

Last but not least is my favourite of all Korean food. Kimchi!



See see, nice right! I got it up close some more...


Even it looks scary, but it is really good! Not too sour and not too spicy! It's good! :D

But before we go off, they also offered us some dessert to cool off our body....

This is a cooling drink, they also offered us each a piece of watermelon too! :D

However, I guess all Korean Food are expensive, even Korean Palace too.. If you have more people go, it would be the merrier! ;) Definitely a must visit!

Che Go , The Korean Cruisine at Seberang Prai City

Even though it's my first time to Che Go, I nicknamed it as "Che Gong" (Panic in Hokkien) or even "Che Gu" (Green cow , direct translation from Hokkien). LOL



Don't you think their menu pic is just so tempting???

Because of HIS birthday... He gets to try out new food from Che Go, which is located at Aeon Seberang Prai City.


The "tempting" Menu..

Spare ribs~ Yum!


They got fish some more...

Each BBQ order that you make comes with these 6 little cold vege dishes. Looks quite little right? Even though it is refillable but I think Korean Palace and Daorae wins over their vege selection!!


Other Side Menu..


Soup soup!!


And this is one of the dishes that is recommended by the waitress there...


The drinks.. I called for Green Tea.. but it charges RM2. Korean Palace or DaoRae also never charge me wan.. Sien!



Here comes the environment..


Their "work place".. :)




Some deco promoting hot bowl..


And *jeng jeng jeng*, here comes the food!

The *oh-so-small* vege dishes....


And the ribsssssssssss...


BBQ preparation.. which is something different compared to Daorae and Korean Palace. :)


*On the way* :P


*Tadaaaa* The yummylicious ribs!! So so so nice! :)


The chicken which is recommended by the waitress.. I don't quite like this one. It doesn't have any korean taste in it. The chicken meat is fried and then they pour some sour plum + oyster sauce on it.. nothing special. I'm sure you can get this at any chinese restaurant!


Last but not least, my fav!! KIMCHI!! Woohoo! It's nice and I think I like this one the most compared to Daorae / Korean Palace's kimchi soup. :)

One note, the food here are not cheap. The total bill for both of us cost about RM140. -_-" Crazy.

My tummy says:

Daorae, the Korean BBQ Restaurant, Bayan Lepas

OMG! I actually thought it was "DORAE" in short for do re mi fa so (in music terms). LOL!


Can you see the crowd? (asking as if you can really see thru the windows. :P ) I actually waited there for about half an hour to get in.

And the first thing I saw is this ...


*WTF this bloody thing hanging in front of me* LOL!

And everyone also has one. :P

This thing is actually used for sucking in the darn smoke (vacuum ?) from the barbecue stove. Anyway, not much help also, my tee oso smell like BBQ chicken when I got home. -_-"

Here's what I managed to get from their menu.
*Gulp, ribs ribs ribs!*







*Steamboat!*

*Kimchi! Ole ole! :P *



Beer for those > 18yrs old. LOL! (Just joking :P)


The first thing that comes to us was the salted vege soup!


And here comes the basic dishes that normally served to every customer. Small dishes of cold veges.

The bottle is their Korean tea I think. Tasted like some kind of agar-agar drink. -_-"

Spot the macaroni people! LOL!

I didn't know Korean food can go with macaroni.

Most of the items are served and prepared by the waiter. So, we can just sit there and relax.

Pork BBQ - Before Sauna


BBQ Pork - After Sauna


With some stir stir and fry fry...

Yum Yum..


The Chicken. Same process.


Err, this one I dunno call apa. But damn not nice. Like chewing those hard-core bubblegum. :P


Pancake. This one is yummy! :D Like Orr-chien (Oyster Omelet)


Some steam egg that is served to every table (complimentary).


And my fav, Kimchi soup! That comes with a bowl of rice! :D

Not too bad, but I prefer Korean Palace's one more. Less meat from Daorae.

Total bill is about RM150. Plus service charge 10%. No tax. You get the drift.
