October 2025. We found another good Korean BBQ place in Desa Sri Hartamas. It was their first day operating on Halloween when we walked past, had a look, and decided to give it a try. We ordered the Kisa set, which is meant for 2 pax. It comes with 250g Pork belly + 250g Pork neck 250g, an array of reliable banchan and a serving of tteokbokki. Everything is good and serving portion is huge, it can feed more than 2 people in my personal opinion. Their meat is first charcoal seared, before grilled on our table so that the meat can retain its juicy and smoky flavour. The staff grilled the meat really nicely! What makes their BBQ so special is that garlic shoot and minari are grilled along with the meat and to be eaten together. I don't remember if I ever tried this combination before and I love it! We also found out that they served Boksosa (Bokbunja + Soju + Soda), Maksa (Makgeolli + Soda) and their signature highball. As we had no plans to drink that night, we'll kept it for the next visit. In case you don't know, Kisa Sikdang is driver restaurants in Korea that offer fast, affordable, and filling home-style meals to taxi drives since the 1980s. Serving baekban (rice, stew and various side dishes) and generous portions of meat dishes such as grilled pork, bulgogi, spicy stir fried pork or squid. Oh by the way, don't forget to enjoy a cup of free Korean mixed coffee from the coffee machine that hardly find in Malaysia's Korean restaurants.
