Daorae Garden

Filed under: Food

The previous Thursday, while everyone is on their way to Damai Laut, Stephanie, Cynthia and myself head over to Daorae Garden Korean BBQ Restaurant to have a feast as well as to catch up with one another.

This is my 3rd visit to this place. The first time was months ago with Zhang Zhen Hong and friends and the 2nd time was just 2 weeks ago. I would say that in terms of service, this is one of the few places where the staff really takes care of you. Any refills requested are met in a fast pace and they are there to cook the food that is ordered for you, regardless of it being a BBQ dish or the Steamboat dishes.

What did we had while we were there?

Aside from the standard side dishes that we can refill often. One of which we often refill is the Spinach

We also had the Daeji Gal Bi (Pork), It’s grilled pork that are succulent in taste as well as appealing to the eyes. A traditional side dish called kimchi and daikon (radish) kimchi is usually served while eating this meal.

The Yang Nyum Dak Gal Bi (marinated skinless chicken fillets). It took less time to cook this dish compared to the Daeji and just like the above dish, this one is pure heaven. It was grilled just to the right tenderness and I couldn’t even wait for the waiter to serve the meat in a bowl as I attacked it even while it’s still in the grill.

as well as Kimchi Jeon which is quite nice. Shaped like a pancake, it is a shallow-fried patty made primarily from kimchi and flour. It is supposed to be a is a dish served as an appetizer, snack, or banchan sidedish. But for the 3 of us, it’s good enough to be one of the main dish on the table.
