Foodie & Goodie: Daorae @ Kota Damansara, available @ Penang too

Goodie is not only a western cuisine lover but loves korean food as much as foodie loves hawker foods. On foodie's b'day, we went to Daorae at damansara which we were lucky enough to get a table for 5 as we did not make any reservation prior the b'day. Daorae has its branches in different places in KL and Penang. So far, foodie and goodie had been to daorae branch in kota damansara and bayan point, penang.

Daorae Korean Bbq

Upon seated and placing your orders, Ban-Chan which is small dishes of korean snacks will be served before the main course reached your table. One good thing with this ban-chan is it is refillable upon request and each refill is free of charge. If I'm not mistaken there will be around 12 small dishes readily served and the most popular and delicious of all wont definitely be the kimchi. The kimchi taste was really genuine that you will definitely feel that you are in Korea.

We ordered the fried tong fun which I couldn't remember what was the exact name in the menu. Korean tung fun did taste different from the one I usually have at hime. Fried with seafood, capsicum and meats, this plate of tong fun would definitely made you ask for more and be in love with tong fun. Price ranging between RM25-RM32.

The tong fun which is really appetizing

The first time foodie and I went there, we did not know that each and every single table will be given complimentary korean pancake from the chef. Hence, the first time we visited, we actually ordered a large pancake which was really yummy. The pancake was really thin. It was fried along with some eggs, seafood and small slices of garlic, onion, capsicums. Since it is a complimentary dish, I suggest that you try it first before you order.

We also had bbq beef, beef ribs and pork in doarae. A plus point of having bbq food in daorae was that since every table is equipped with cooker hood which will suck up most of the smoke resulted from bbq. We had Wan Gal Bi which is more commonly known as beef rib, marinated perfectly in the korean sweet soy sauce. It was nicely grilled on the bbq pan and to our delighted, we did not have to do the bbq ourselves as those friendly waiters will do it all for us, from the beginning to the end. The bbq beef rib was to be wrapped with lettuce, dipped in some specially made sauce together with some garlic. The taste was really amazing. Price ranging RM55-RM70.

Bbq Pork

We also had bbq pork which is slightly cheaper compared to the beef. The pork is marinated with some ginseng and koraen sauce and the meat was really tender after being barbecued. It was one of foodie's favorite food that night. Price ranging RM30-RM40. Other than bbq stuffs, we also had ginseng chicken which is RM100++ for 4 person. We also had kimchi steamboat which is Goodie's most favorite, pricing around RM70++, the portion was more than enough to serve 5 people.
