When fried chicken is involved, Taiwanese fried chicken isn’t top of my list because I find the flavours a tad one-note from my visits to different parts of Taiwan, including Taipei city. Monga Chicken dropped into the Malaysian market last year, making waves for their “thick and juicy” fried chicken…

My first taste of jajangmyeon was two years ago, when a friend took me to her regular Korean-Chinese restaurant in Mont Kiara for lunch. It wasn’t exactly love at first bite, but one that grows on you after each mouthful. Buldojang in Desa Sri Hartamas serves decent jajangmyeon I was…
Jien and I stumbled upon Jal Dae Ji in Ampang when we were in the vicinity for an appointment. It was past 9pm but still, we had to wait 20 minutes for a table to vacate. Prior to our visit the Jal Dae Ji, Jien and I mostly ate Korean…
Korean barbeque has always been more of Jien’s thing rather than mine – he enjoys watching meats cook on the grill while I prefer something soupy. Hwa Ga is Solaris claims to serve all the grilled meats, side dishes and soups you can stomach for just RM39++ per pax (lunch)…

Korean fried chicken is one of the most indulgent things to eat in my opinion – crisp, juicy and (sometimes) saucy, you’ll want more. The best part about Korean fried chicken is that they are fried twice, sometimes thrice so it’s takes the fried bird to a whole new level.…
I’ve been catching up on a lot of Netflix during my confinement month – mostly watching Korean dramas and drooling over the amount of soju and grilled meats involved. Jien probably sensed a Korean food craving in me, hence his choice of dinner venue; Apple Samgyupsal in Taman Desa. As…
Outdark in SS15 Subang Jaya is said to serve the best Korean fried chicken in Klang Valley at the moment – a claim made by my friend who loves fried chicken just as much as I do. Such a statement needed validation which prompted me to pay Outdark a visit.…
I’ve heard good things about the food at Shinmapo Korean BBQ so Jien and I paid them a visit last weekend to try one of the specialty – Galmaegisal. For the uninitiated, galmaigisal is a cut of pork that’s known as “skirt-meat”, said to have a deeper flavour with a…
