Korean delight @Gangnam Station Shah Alam

We'll if you guys have read my previous blog entry, you would know by now that i am slowly getting korean crrrraazzzyyyy..... So, when my Sistere in law told me that there was a new korean restaurant opened nearby her old tuition centre, we just had to go try it out . So far the day went awesome .. hahaha ... We played a game of old school carom , went for about 4 hours of karaoke and then straight to dinner .

 Since BOTH my Sister-in-law (SIL)Nora Jane and I both are korean crazyy.. hahah .. My friend Wawa and her was the one who influence me in my journey into korean-ism. So, we were watching our korean shows/drama, we said there was a new korean restaurant that opened nearby their house so during our karaoke session it was already decided that there was where we will be having dinner . After the tiring 4hours (actually i could still go on ) ... We made our way to the gangnam station.

Upon reaching , we realize that it used to be a mexican restaurant before it was changed to a korean restaurant . The menu is very limited and the dishes are all sharing sizes and prices are what i would say quite steep . If you were to divide it to the amount of ppl who is sharing, its is actually quite affordable but for me the downside is that you cant try different types of dishes at one go. Since even the basic bibimbap was still unavailable (at the time that i went) , we choose the safest menu item bulgogi set. 

Bulgogi set was served with the following ,

a) Bulgogi set - a huge portion of beef,clear noodle ,mushroom and vege enough to share 3-4 people depending on appetite..=) (Rm60 perportion)

b) All meals are served with an all-you-can-eat side dishes which may vary from day to day but the staple kimchi is of course served. Thou if u asked me the kimchi was too mild ..

c) Rice has to be ordered separately and each bowl is charged . (Rm3 per bowl)

d) All drinks are priced um slightly expensive for my taste even plain water was charged at rm1 per glass.

The array of side dishes that was served when we came. It will change form day to day.. =)

The bowl of rice is expensive but i gotta say it did taste good..

Just look at the huge pile of beef, mushroom and jap chae.. Yummy yum yum!!

My sister in law Nora Jane look how huge it is in front of her ..=)

Close up of the bulgogi..=)

After we put the vege and waiting for it to start  cooking and boiling..

Basically we could pretty much say we were quite satisfied with the portion of the meal is just that if they could offer a choice to get a smaller portions at least we could have ordered and tried several items on the menu at a go ..=).. But other than that i would say the place is quite ok and the taste was not too bad .. But my choice would still be The Street Cafe ..So i guess thats my view on this new restaurant . A last comment , if they could make the place look and feel a bit more kerean would be awesome . Like mayb some decorations and nick-nacks that would make ppl be interested in korean culture more. Buzz Korea!!!

Cheers and till my next entry ..!!

Interested in trying this place out ??

Dim Sum Buffet at Holiday Villa , Subang

Ever since mid of last year i had been craaavviing for Dim Sum. Its kinda hard to get halal dim sum, either its too expensive or not much variety . Well, i was again proved wrong by getting an online voucher that was soooo worth it .... Hahahaa , I have hear and seen on facebook that a lot of people went and enjoyed Dim sum at Holiday Villa Hotel and Suites Subang, however after finding out the prices i just had to "telan air liur" . Hahaha ... Thats was when i found the online voucher it was too die for !!!!

So, on one fine Sunday, i invited my aunt, my bro  and hubs to go . But since my aunt had last minute plans i invited my brother's gf instead . Lolz, we were spoilt with choices , I assume its just an all-you-can-eat Dim sum only. Guess all of us was pretty surprised that they even had  buffet line up of desserts, salad bar, fried stuffs, noodle station and a few other food stations.. hahaha .. However my main delight was the Dim sum  so we truly indulge in those .. hahaha 

Normal price : Rm58.00

Online voucher that i bought : Rm29.00

THERE WERE JUST SOOO MANY 

TO CHOOSE FROM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The variety of desserts were also a lot.. sweet, savoury and even hot and cold ..
Dessert heaven indeed!!

Since the buffet started from 11am till 2.30pm. We were all there by 1130am and left about 1.30 pm. 2hours we awesome!! hahaha ... I would say i truly and honestly enjoyed the brunch !!! I finally satisfied my craving's for Dim sum. 

What's more awesome than enjoying delicious meal with family ... 

IT was definitely a voucher worth spent ... 

If there were any more promo for this .. '

Ill definitely get some and enjoy it again..!!!

Till my next foodie moment !!

Toodles~~!!

Suki-ya @Paradigm Mall.

 I have tried steamboat and i have tried BBQ steamboat. However, Amly has tried this place a few times but this is the first time for me, hubs and my bestie Melissa tried Sukiyaki. Apparently Suki-ya  is a combination of specialized shops in Japan, that serves hot pot, shabu-shabu and sukiyaki which are all actually pretty similar to each other .

"At Suki-Ya, we offer 4 choices of popular soup bases to further entice the diner's pallete with the FREE FLOW of freshly sliced meat. Fans of sukiyaki will certainly love our paper thin sliced beef. To complement the rich selection of meat, our healthy vegetable bar is always stocked with fresh greens and premium pasteurised eggs. We have specially made dipping sauce available or you can always create your own favourite sauce. We also have an a-la carte menu with choices ranging from tofu to the ever popular salmon sashimi." 

- taken from their official website -

 From what i understand Shabu-shabu is when thinly sliced meat are swirled around in the hot chosen borth and within a few seconds it will be cooked. The additional part of this Sukiyaki is that the moment the meat is cooked its also dipped in a small bowl of beaten raw egg. The moment i heard this , i thought how icky and weird it'll be . But when i saw how my Bestie Amly and Hubs devour the meat i decided to give it a try . Safe to say it does taste awesome!!!  

Btw these are apparently steps on how to enjoy these delicious meal!!

Step 1: Fill 1/2 of the pot with a stock of your choice ( There was 4 types although i cant

             remember what is it.=)). But they would recommed their Suki-Ya stock. 

Step 2: Add leek and Onion or other vegetables, tofu or even the variety of seafood balls 

            that they have at the display buffet table . 

Step 3: Dip sliced meat into Sukiyaki stock. Once its cook, which takes about 10-15 seconds

             you should dip it in Raw egg and begin to enjoy it . Dipping ingredients into the raw 

            eggs also take away some heat before you sink a bite into it. 

Step 4: Lastly, add udon or rice to remaining stock and enjoy the remaining rich flavour 

            of the stock. 

These steps are showed on all their placemats at the restaurant.  

Shoyu and Sukiyaki stock. 

Anyways, both of the two teams (Amly and melissa / Tito and me) had the same stock Shoyu and Sukiyaki stock. Since we were there for the meat since its ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT, we all ordered about 5 servings of Beef and lamb, since Melissa wants chicken we order some of those too. Lolz, 5 serving each too much ?? May i remind you that its slinced into paper thins. So that it'll literally cooked in 10-15 seconds..=)...

We literally spent 2-3 hours there enjoying the delectable meats . The moment they're cook an dipped in the raw eggs they are sooo soft, creamy and oh so dreamy~~.. hahaha ... lolz... It was nice spending some time together and catching up  on things since Christmas was a few days later and the New Years ... It was just awesome..!! I am oh so thankful for awesome friends like these . We have known each other since form 1?? lolz. About 13 years ?? how awesome is that !! hahaha .. Anyways, hope we make a lot of new, awesome and unforgettable memories this year !!

Luv you guys ..!!!! Muahss..!!

Till next time and more meetups ..!! 

Cheers ..!!
PS: Thanks Amly for the delicious treat and introducing us to it !!!!
We all truly enjoyed it

Street cafe .. Korean food!!

I guess, nowadays everyone has been bitten my the Korean fever, Lolz, may it be by liking Psy 'Gangnam Style', watching korean drama's, liking K-Pop and like me i started loving everyone korean by the popular show Running Man. Then it revolve to We got married, Invincible Youth, Hello Baby, Idol Army,Family Outing season 1&2 .... Well, the list goes on and on. From these shows i slowly love the artist that they are. Only then i know the names by groups such as, SNSD, Sistar, CnBlue, 2pm, 2am, Super Junior, Bi-Rain, T-Ara, BEG, KARA, F(X) and etc .... then from variety shows then loving the individuals and slowly their songs and group.For a lot of people they are the other way around right ?? Loving the songs and singers then only loving the them even more thru drama.movies and variety shows . But one thing everyone can admit now is the KOREAN FEVER !!! Soon, you see a lot of korean BBQ, kimchi in stores , korean restaurants and although we all love our oldtime MAGGI mee's ... soon everyone refers then to ramyun. Lolz, And we werent exampted from that. The latest place that we all love to get our dose of korean food is The street cafe . They do have a few outlets , however i have only been to the one in Sunway Pyramid and also the one in SS15 , Subang Jaya . 

Truthfully , my first time experience with korean food didnt go so well... Hahaha, Hubs (then he was my boyfriend) we went to the Pyramid outlet and i guess we didnt know what to order and ordered the extreme for us first timers. Save to say my husband swear off korean food after that. But recently a friend of my mine WAWA, re-introduce me to korean food the proper way . Hahaha , so after a few times, i now know what i like , hahaha .. These were a few of the things that we ordered .

Raboki- Rice cakes, Ramen in thick sauce . 

Kimchi pancake - Korean kimchi made in pancake form. If u love kimchi , You'll love this
If not do order other varieties . 

Lolz , i really forgot what this one was called... but its awesome!!!

Korean chicken sticks with their speciality sauce.. Delicious!!

Lolz, I dont know if we were just lucky ... But we were even given a korean noodle
 on the house as an appetizer.. This we really love ... much better texture then our local meehoon, 

It was a lot for two people .. I even took home the leftovers lolz!!

We basically ordered different things and just shared among us two... Hahaha, we went after our korean language class and was pretty hungry , So we just went crrraazzzyyyy... hahaha ..but at the end of the meal we were full, content and just felt soooo korean.. hahaha .. *dreaming* i know.. lolz.. But i once saw this dessert on my favourite variety show 'We got married-Yongseo couple' ( for people who dont watch the show, its a fake marriage show between Jung Yonghwa 'Cnblue' and Seohyun 'SNSD' ) and the moment i knew they sold this .. I just had to order it and i was definitely not disappointed!!Its korean version of our ice kacang. 

LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO MY FAVOURITE 

KOREAN DESSERT.......

For those who wants to have a chance of meeting him should go to the SS15 outlet, he was soo friendly and even took the time to recommend us some dishes. If you're there do say hi to him.. Lolz, I seriously dont know his name .. But if im not mistaken its Mr.Andrew Kim... Lolz... Sorry if its wrong... !! Buzz Korea~!!

Welcoming New year with family and Fish&chips

For the new years eve.. everyone that i know went somewhere to celebrate. Be it with family , friends, or  carnival. All anticipating the beautiful and colourful fireworks. But for me , the best things about this new year is being with hubby, just being together and thankful for everything that we had gone through for the past year of marriage and a total of 8 years of being in a relationship. I am truly ever so thankful that i still have my brother and my husband in my life, literally without them my life would be without meaning.

Safe to say 2012 really test our family ties and patients dealing with people who are just a nuisance in our lives. I have had enough and im happy the way everything is resolved. My brother, hubs and myself finally have a peace in mind and we can finally call our house a HOME. Warmth , light and happiness is slowly filling our home the way when our mother was still with us. May her soul rest in peace ...=). I know she's looking down on us and smiling and hopefully proud with us all, although she may not approve on how we achieve it... lolz... 

For the past one year we have cooked, baked and grilled all sorts of delectables.. hahaha .. So, since we had dory fish and prawns in our freezer, we decided to make fish and chips .. Lolz, but to make it healthier minus the chips.. lolz.. I bought some cabbages and we made coleslaw and mixed up a bottle of tartar sauce (mixed store bought with wholegrain mustard seeds. mayo and other things )...

Lolz, because i love buying bargain things , we used all imported crust and tempura batter!!
Alhamdulillah , at least my shopping ability helped us enjoying the best at a fraction of the price. 

We munch on the cooked fried prawns ...
 yummeh!!!

Yummy yummy coleslaw.... 

We even enjoyed some lemonade, jasmine green tea and a bottle of gassy drink.

Since , it was the new year and its been a while since we last meet up with Gary and G-Jar (GG), we invited them for brunch and they also brought the little bundle of joy baby Ariean Indra Putra..!!! He was sooo gorgeous ..!!!! *more on that on our next entry*..=). I just couldnt get enought of him!!!! hahaha ... anyways, after a good hearty brunch we all went out and walk around Subang Parade ..!! 

Our delicious brunch for the day..!!!! hahaha Yummeh !!!

Well, thats all for this post  and entry ..=). 

Hopefully its not too late...to wish everyone, Happy New Year !! 

May everyone be blessed and all their resolutions and dreams come true!! 

Cheers !!
