Kung Jung @ PNB Park, Korean Restaurant

I love having my lunch here because I can have all my favourite dishes in 1 set. My lunch set include rice, 6 plates of banchans, kimchi jigae and a selection of either beef or chicken grill. Not just that, at the end of the course you can choose either to have coffee or tea and altogether will cost you for only RM38.00 (exclude tax and service charge). Kung Jung is now become my favourite korean dining after Koryo Won. I used to go to Koryo Won frequently back then. Banchan selection for lunch is less than the dinner time but do not worry because they are refillable.

Super duper love the kimchi jigae and the combination with banchans (korean mashed potato, anchovies, kimchi cabbage, fishcake, beansprout). But these banchans will not be the same everyday where sometimes I couldn't find anchovies the next time I came which they would replace it with another thing, like spinach etc.

I got introduced this restaurant to my friend, whose husband is a Korean. So we had lunch together and the husband actually like this place (he tried ginger chicken with herbs), and he said the foods here is authentic (considering that he's a korean).

How to get here?

I usually take train and stop at Ampang Park station. Then I will walk from the station to PNB building cause it is not that far. I would say around 100-200 meters. If I drive, I will park in the building itself but have to bare with the high parking rate as we know rate around KLCC area is ridiculously expensive.

Not sure about the operating days. But they open during lunch and dinner but close from 2.30pm to 6pm. As far as I know, they don't serve pork, and on top of that, they have Halal certificates and quite a number of Muslims customer dine here.

Ramadhan Buffet Me'nate @ Starpac

It's Ramadhan,so we decided to try out few places and so after made a quick survey, most of the people in the crowd wanted to go to this place. Booked table for 18 pax and we were lucky cause there were still a few tables left. The waiter ask if we would like to pre order our dinner since there were too many of us. We decided to order 2 short ribs set and 1 whole chicken set. The fact that this restaurant has praying room for both males and females, makes everything easy especially during this fasting month.
At first, I think that these foods that we ordered will not be sufficient but it was the other way round. The short rib set was a bit bland for me. The meat was tender though. We were actually relieved that we didn't picked the wagyu ribs.
The rice that came together with the ribs was nothing to shout about. I don't know whether the temperature was not right or the food? Cause the air conditioning is literally on top of the foods so the meals in front of us was pretty much cold.  Each of the set will get a complimentary bubur lambuk and kuih muih. Not to mention that we also entitled for free flow drinks and of course you have to get it yourself at the drinks counter cause it's a self service. The chicken set was surprisingly a satisfaction. Chicken was perfectly marinated and tender, juicy meat that fall off the bone! Altogether the experience was good and the total bill roughly around rm700++. We got a 10% discount though.

The Manna @ Plaza Damas

Been eying this place since it opened last year. From what I heard from staff who is working in one of the shops in Plaza Damas, the food here is quite good. Upon entering this premise, well I can say that it is a small restaurant indeed. 7 tables inside and a few outside of the shop. There was a "halal meat" plus " no pork" sticker hanging on the glass door. Not many choices in the menu but I think they are pretty much enough to sooth my crave. I bought beef bulgogi which cost me around Rm15++. All time favourite menu if I go to korean restaurant. There were also korean ramyun and kimchi jigaeh. For each meal, will serve with rice , soup and 3 banchan (side dish). Overall I love this korean restaurant and will definitely come again to try other dishes. Located at Plaza Damas just behind the Canteen restaurant. The operating hours is from 10am to 11pm Monday to Saturday. Close on Sunday.

Hammam Bistro @ Publika

 I decided to try the Hammam bistro cause I can't seems to resist the Moroccan food. I'm dying to try the food here so after I had my spa session at Hammam, my husband and I chose a table and placed our order. Well I can say that I'm impressed with the decor and ambiance and I can tell that the owner really takes the dining experience seriously cause I felt like I'm in Morocco!.

You don't really need to worry about the availability of the table because there's always plenty of place to sit. When I came, there was only a couple having their dinner, not to say that the place wasn't doing good in business, but I personally think that not many people know about it. I believe it has it's own crowd cause a lot of  people  not really familiar with Moroccan food.

Fresh flowers on the table... I couldn't ask more.

the so called dipping

Lamb Tagine with Prunes (RM45.00) ~ I know right...it's damn expensive for a portion like this!

Tagine Chicken (RM45.00) serve with bread

Tagine Chicken

Saute Mushroom

Overall the quality of the food was good which the saute mushrooms being the top of my list cause it is super good.... I know right???? it's just mushrooms saute with olive oil and garlic. 

The bread was good too cause it tastes different from other bread that I've taste before... and the dipping per se, being effortlessly delicious. 

I know the Tagine chicken should be the star of the dish, but I'm not a big fan though. But the Lamb Tagine on the other hand kept me licking my fingers cause it was superb. The meat was so tender and you can effortlessly run your knife through it. 

About the price, enough said, EXPENSIVE... but hey... once in a blue moon.  

P/S: Don't forget to try their baklava. I even brought back 10 pcs of em'.
