Short talk : I decided to give my blog a new look. I’ve been looking around for some nice themes and I personally like this one very much. Have a great working day tomorrow everybody!

Nope, this is no Jco or Big Apple donut.

No, these are not donuts

Took these pictures while I went out shopping for food near somewhere near Pandan Jaya. I thought it will make a good shot so I snap a few pictures.

One thing great about pasar malam is that the atmosphere. I just love it watching people flocking from one stall to one stall looking for bargains and of course good food.

It might not be the most original place to find original food here in KL. Well, everything is pretty much not original here. You might see Penang laksa, Sarawak kolo mee or whatever there is. Doesn’t really matter.

What really matters, you had fun

They did

WARNING : NON HALAL FOOD PICS AHEAD

Lily’s last day in KL I brought her to Korea Town for lunch. Her flight back to Miri will be around 7.00 PM that very day. So, I thought of bringing her there because we always talked about having a nice Korean BBQ as in the real Korean BBQ la. Lucky thing Roy was not busy and I managed to persuade him to take us there. It is not that far actually from where I stay. It takes about 5-7 minutes drive.

I randomly picked one particular restaurant as it looks not so expensive and quite okay.

Basically Korean barbecue, or gogi gui, refers to grilled dish which comprises several different dishes made from beef, pork, and chicken are among the most popular Korean foods. You always see them having this meal on TV if you happened to stumble upon scenes where they would have gogi. I’m a big fan!

Galbi is the most popular variety of Korean barbecue. It is marinated in a sauce that may contain soy sauce, water, garlic, sugar, and sliced onions. It is believed to taste best when grilled with charcoal or soot. Joo mul luhk is short steaks marinated with sesame oil, salt and pepper. It is almost similar to non-marinated Korean barbecue and one thing that distinguishes from other kinds is its steaklike juicy texture. Spicy pork bulgogi is also one of the most famous Korean barbecue dishes, and it is quite different from beef bulgogi because the marinade is not soy sauce-based, but instead consists of gochujang and/or chili powder, garlic, sesame oil, onions, and ground Asian pear. This is also unsuitable for cooking over a grill, and is thus cooked in a pan.

Side dishes usually comes earlier, the best damn thing would be later

Green Onion Salad (Pajori)

Roy is not a big fan of green vege. He might want to skip this one. This is the vege that you will use to wrap the BBQ in, dip it in the sauce and put that in your mouth. Yummy!

The real thing. Pork, chicken and beef altogether.

Some seafood soup, I forgot what was the name. Can anybody help me?

Korean sambal (Bean paste sauce)

Wangi towel I call it. I used it after meal but Steph told me I was supposed to use it before I eat. So, watever. Steph been to Japan before, so she said they did the same thing when she was there. I took her words la. I never been there, so I don’t know.

After eating we thought of just wondering around the mini market around Korea Town for a while. And She bought a bottle of nice Korean Plum Wine. I just love the taste.

Signing off with a kiss, off to the airport!

Ahnyeounghigaseyo!
