Gangnam 88, Solaris Mont' Kiara

Try out a K-pop cafe cater for K-pop fan in Solaris Mont' Kiara. Located at the first floor above Coffee Bean, whenever we drive into Solaris MK we can always see a LED TV continuously playing latest K-pop music video from far. Inside the cafe, K-pop idols posters all over the wall; there's also CDs and merchandise items displays at a corner. Order a Jjolmeyeon @ RM25 & Dweji Suyuk @ RM49 for dinner. 6 simple banchan are served~ kimchi, jjangjorim (soya braised pork slices with hard-boiled egg), stir-fried bean-curd, pan-fried egg tofu, steam pumpkin with marinated sauce and jeon (Korean pancake).

Jjolmyeon is a cold wheat noodles served with various chopped vegetables such as lettuce, carrot, cucumber, cabbage, bean sprout, a hard boiled egg and red sauce mixture of gochujang, vinegar, sugar, and minced garlic. While the Suyuk (boiled pork) serves with rice and lettuce, marinated green onions slices, ssamjang, garlic slice, chopped chillies, and salted shrimp paste for the ssam (wraps). Overall food not bad, pretty decent for a Korean cafe food and the environment suits youngsters to hangout or gather for drinks with Korean meals.

BBQ Pork Ribs~ S.Wine Cafe, Bens Independent Grocer, Publika



Little celebration of 3rd Anniversary with Pork Ribs at S.wine cafe that we discover last year. It is located at the Pork section of Ben's Independent Grocer, Publika. Well, anniversary is just an excuse, wanted to try out the BBQ pork ribs is the real purpose. We order the whole slab BBQ Ribs with chip and slaw @ RM88 as dinner. It's a slow-roasted spiced ribs, drenched with apple BBQ sauce and grilled before serving. It was meant for serve for 3-4 pax and we have been informed that only one size available when we placed order. It's okay, we can bring back the leftover anyway. The BBQ rib is fresh and supple! We almost lick the bones so there is no leftover meat nor gravy left behind. Another close by place for pork ribs and other pork dish in future in our food hunting list.
