Halal Korean food at The Street Café
The Street Café (TSC), which is located in Asian Avenue at Sunway Pyramid Shopping Mall, serves delicious halal Korean fare. Our Muslim readers would probably be familiar with this joint as it is one of the very few Korean eateries in town that is halal. (Note: Halal here means fit to eat according to Muslim religious practice.) Halal Korean food in here: Asian Avenue at the Sunway PyramidShopping Mall Orchid and I met up with Andrew Kim, one of TSC’s partners for a chat about the café, Kpop fans and yummilicious Korean food. “This is the first The Street Café outlet. We opened on 08.08.08,” reveals Kim one busy Sunday afternoon. “Our second outlet is a double storey building in SS15 Subang Jaya.” Chit chat: Andrew Kim shares with K-popped! about The Street Cafe The SS15 outlet is reportedly packed during lunch hour thanks to the college crowd from the nearby university colleges. The outlet, which has a huge LCD screen playing the latest Korean music videos and wi-fi, is a hip place to be seen at. A unique thing about the outlet is that it caters for private functions as well and many Kpop Fan Club gatherings have been

Soondae, Bossam & Jokbal promotion at Korean BBQ Han Sung Restaurant
Excuse us Muslim friends, this is a very un-halal entry. 미안합니다 . Alrighty pork eaters, we have a “heaven-on-earth” dish for you. What would you say to a platter of porky delight? If you say, “Yessss! Show me the piggy, Babe” you’re in for a fantastic treat at Korean BBQ Han Sung restaurant in Desa Sri Hartamas. Autumn promotion: A variety of Korean pork cuisineon one platter The autumn promotion features a three-in-one pork platter that consists of soondae (순대), bossam (보쌈) and jokbal (족발). Typically, the pork dishes are sold separately at Korean restaurants. Pork platter: (Clockwise from the top) Jokbal, Soondae, Bossam& Soondae “We’ve decided to offer the three dishes in one platter,” says Daisy Choi, public relations manager of Han Sung. “The Bossam is actually good for women’s complexion,” she adds. Liz fumbles with Korean: ‘So it’s spelled 돼-지-고-기 (dwaeji-gogi = pork)right?’ So what’s exactly in each dish? Soondae – pig’s intestines stuffed with mixed vegetable and glass noodles. The blood sausages are then boiled and steamed. Bossam – slices of steamed pork that should be eaten wrapped in lettuce. It is accompanied by a condiment called ssamjang. Jokbal – pig’s knuckles cooked in soya sauce and

Home cooked Korean fare at Korean BBQ Han Sung Restaurant
You know how we Malaysians wonder about the dish washer at Korean restaurants? There are always so many dishes to wash. The banchan (side dishes) spread alone takes up, like, half the dining table. Did you know that if you dine as a party of two or more, you’ll be served 10 different banchan dishes? However, if you’re dining alone, you’ll be served 4 banchan dishes. Phew! Plenty: Dolsot bibimbap (foreground) and banchandishes (background) We aren’t sure about other restaurants, but this is the rule of thumb at Korean BBQ Han Sung Restaurant at Desa Sri Hartamas in Kuala Lumpur. Both Orchid and I were invited by Daisy Choi, the public relations manager of Han Sung Restaurant for a sumptuous home cooked meal one Saturday evening. The menu that you get at the restaurant is actually lovingly created by Daisy’s Mom herself. All in the family: Daisy Choi (right) PR manager of Han Sungwith the restaurant’s head chef, her Mom “Mom is the chef here and she loves to experiment with new recipes. Our sun dae (순대) is the original. It’s a popular dish and other Korean restaurants try to imitate it,” Daisy reveals during dinner. Sun dae is actually

Kwon Sang-woo opens Tea’Us in Myeongdong
Drink up: ‘Tea’Us makes the best coffee andtea in town.’ Going to Seoul, Korea? Then make sure you mosey your way over to Kwon Sang-woo’s newly-opened café called Tea’Us in Myeongdong. The Hallyu star, along with some of his friends, pooled their resources to open the café that serves coffee, tea, waffles and gelato. The establishment was opened to the public on May 16 at 3pm. Perfect blend: ‘How do I work this machine already?Where’s the “On” button?’ The 33-year-old actor was present at the launch of the café and spoke to the press about his new joint venture. Why did he choose the name Tea’Us? Well, according to the actor, he became well known throughout Japan and the rest of Asia through the drama Stairway to Heaven. Due to the drama, fans nicknamed him the Prince of Tears because of his character who cries at the drop of a hat. He wanted to remember that in a good way, thus he named the café Tea’Us, which sounds like “Tears”. Choices, choices: ‘Go ahead, order anything you want…on the menu that is.’ Enough about the origins of Tea’Us. Now that it’s opened, will you be visiting the café for a

Where to eat Jajangmyeon in Seoul?
Where do you find a decent bowl of Jajangmyeon in Seoul? When we went to Seoul, we really wanted to taste Jajangmyeon. Jajangmyeon or Jjajangmyeon (짜장면) is a dish made up of noodles cooked in black bean paste. It’s unique to Korea and no other “black noodles” can substitute it. Although we do have noodles cooked in dark soya sauce here in Malaysia called “Hokkien mee” and you also have “konloh mee”, it is simply not the same! Jajangmyeon is a popular dish and isoften featured in Korean dramas. In Coffee Prince, Yoon Eun-hye and the late Lee Eonhad a Jajangmyeon eating competition in the first episode. However, Jajangmyeon is not served at Korean restaurants (it is also difficult to find it on the menu at Korean restaurants here). We remember our Korean language teacher telling us that Jajangmyeon is a popular dish at Korean – Chinese restaurants! So yeah, go to a Chinese restaurant when in Seoul for a taste of this dish. We found this Chinese restaurant at Co-ex mall and the noodle is actually quite delicious. They provide a pair of scissors so you can cut the long strands for easier consumption. The black bean paste is

Satisfying lunch at Nakwon restaurant
Dining out: Looking for a nice Korean restaurant to bring friendsand family to? Try Nakwon. First of all, the price was right – RM95 for a very satisfying meal for 5 people (we are small eaters, though). We received a RM8.40 discount while lunching at Nakwon in Taman Danau Desa recently. 1st floor: Nakwon restaurant at Taman Danau Desa, Kuala Lumpur We don’t really know the reason – the waiter just showed us the bill with the discount and when asked for further clarification…well, he couldn’t really communicate effectively in English. Heh, we did not complain. To our Muslim readers, Nakwon is non-halal. We had BBQ-ed pork. The ambience was lovely and the group made a beeline for the low-table dining experience. Once we were comfortably seated on the floor, we placed our order. Don’t be shocked when you see the prices (for the meat) in the menu. They are stated as RMxx/pax but in actual fact, the price is for “per portion”. Yes it means they will not charge each person in your group RMxx for the dish. The restaurant is located on the first floor, right above the Sri Kota supermarket in Taman Danau Desa, so it has
