Korea Street Food Guide-list 102

Gonna continue with my second post on korean street food
This is to share my bad experience on korean food
definitely not all korean restaurant provide AWESOME food

This round of korean food is at Dubu-Dubu, Mid Valley
and the experience is terribly bad

You can check their menu here
I tried their jigae cause they have some cute recipe to enjoy the jigae
and they offer few level of spiciness 
in case you're the mild lil lady
as for me the wild type, I took the top spicy level jigae

they also have chicken and beef broth if some of you doesn't take beef
plus point for them

Service side
lots of customers and service was slow, so you can imagine how slow the foods are served
Time for some food show
I like the purple rice as it look much more appetizing 
(Ko Hyang Korean Country Delights has the same rice too, gonna review that next time)

The jigae come with the purple rice and 3 side dishes
Big bean sprouts, kim chi and french bean (depends on that day varieties)
Their kim chi is not bad too, kinda like it

Look at my happy unhappy face
the first sip I drink that jigae,
feel like drinking plain water ah! no saltiness, no spicyness and nothing
I ordered beef top level spicy jigae and it was so so disappointing.

I don't know it is because of many customers or I'm unlucky
or the chef just forgot to add salt?
the whole food journey, I have to ask for soy sauce and dip everything in soy sauce
it became soy sauce jigae
our happy face before the food come

Oh, before I forget
even the aloe drinks I ordered also taste so bland
forget the sugar maybe??

Korean Street Food Guide-list 101

I love korean street food!!
Toppokki, bibimbap, kimbap, or jjigae
So this post is kinda of the korean street food review that I tried before
good and bad~

Let's start with something good
This is a chicken bibimbap from Bulgogi Brothers, which is from the same family of Italiannies, TGI Friday's and Watami
As you know, BB (Bulgogi Brothers not Big Bang) is more on the exclusive restaurant type
so the bibimbap definitely has more ingredients and toppings.

So more ingredients mean higher price too
but the price is worth to pay for me
They even have an after-meal drink for you
Plum tea juice which good for digestion and service is good
 (they provide you place to keep your haul of the day)
I would say their jjigae or korean stew is the best I had till now!!
the taste is thick and spicy enough which make you couldn't stop drinking compared to those watery soup out there..chinese says "watery like your pee pee"

But they have limited choices on the snack food, more on the BBQ meat
and one very veryy verrryy important point would be the kimchi!!
A lil disappointed with their kimchi, it was those commercial kimchi
where you can buy from Jusco or Carrefour

I prefer those with more homemade taste XD
but their jjigaae really would make up the blah~ kimchi
a lil pricey, service good and food is not bad too

would love to try their grilled meat next time
ann-yeong chingu~

they are bringing more fruitness and goddess for you and your skin

As the chosen blogger for the new range product @ the Egg White range *excited*
you know, the egg white is so smooth, white and clear from anything except the yolk la
( I wonder why the compare Snow White as white as snow, should be as white as egg white right??)
Let me show you Snow White


haha, shock die you~
more the Tanned in White dress with hairy hand  (Fist of fury)
*ok, lame joke*
goin with the Egg White Range = white dress!!

okok, enough of the SS story
Let the show begin *drumroll please*

More Foodies~


Packed and Jammed *sound like fruit and jam~ hungry!!*
I never visited the 1U outlet b4 so I can't compare it
but to me, the newly renovated shop, is much more brighter and design is cuter
even the cupboard are with so much details now!!
But sadly, the new store is kinda small, I know it's the opening it'll be more crowded
but still the space is really limited (few ppls standing there, better start chanting excuse me, excuse me..)
regular counter~ with regular customer
everyone bulk up like it's free *likey*
same species is waving over here!!!

not much different but the colourful palette make me think of my blog <3

The best selling is here, 1, 2, 3 ~ 
sapu all la!!
Ta-daa, finally the packages appear
okie, please dun focus on the pink n black bag not the orange
but the two full bag at the back
*First buy from La Senza, let me show off little bit la..ahaha*
hehe, a trailer should not expose everything
*the orange is from Skin Food, Boost of Vita-C n no peeping in the La-senza bag*

I said it will be a surprise, so surprise
(other blogger reveal it already, but not me, y? )
never gonna tell you =P
wanna know more, stay tune~

overall, the concept store is cool and exciting 
but I believe there could be more improvement^^
and personally, I think the info for the blogger is insufficient and I didn't get the real message or info to help Skin Food to deliver the message to the our Skin Foodians~
*honest opinion*
and you all who want to know more 'honest' opinion just ask^^

now one more pitcha to scare you tonight!!
No la, it's just me!!
the same species shop like it's free!!!
so have a gd nite sleep 
wait for more *jeng..jeng..jeng..*

Things that contribute to my Double Chin

I always believe that "Ipoh have many leng lui @ pretty girls"
though I'm one of the exception...
But I can't imagine how they gonna keep they body shape so freaking good while 
living in IPOH!!!

We have so so so many foods in Ipoh
which can make you feel hungry any time and anywhere 

This is from one small western cafe at Gunung Rapat which have some simple and cheap western food
Left: Chicken Chop with rice (the sauce is so special, where both of us can't identify the main ingredients in it)
and most important it come in a big portion with Ice Lemon Tea and ice-cream.
Right: Chicken Chop with Garlic Mushroom (RECOMMENDED this for all those garlic lover, tender chicken with lots of fried garlic, Organisms), this come with the drinks n dessert too
Each set cost not more than RM 15

Super Duper large picture for my favourite Korean Food^^
We ordered some pork and beef for the BBQ part~ I love Daorae Korean BBQ so much because they will do the hard work for us and grilled all the meat while we just need EAT!!
*lazy bum-bum*

Next we have the Heamooi-tang which is the Seafood Spicy Soup in the first lower picture in the left, acceptable spiciness with tonnes of seafood like Mussels, Crab, Prawn, Squid and La-la (charge us RM80 de leh, sure many seafood la, haha~ )

In the last picture is the Daeji Gal-Bi, some sort of ramen which those #Foreverhungryman ordered. It has seafood inside too, the soup is good and the ramen is so so yummy where it taste like some man-made noodles
then the best part....
.
.
.
For 4 person we spend Rm199.10 where Rm 18.10 is the service charge, no wonder they help you grill food la..now you know ToT

Still in the Korean fever, my next day lunch is the Kimchi hot stone rice which kinda so n so only...nothing much to comment, hope they can add more meat *carnivore mood

Next pitcha, the Bubble Milk Tea trend is coming back with a healthier version and much more crazy varieties. ChatTime is having their first outlet in Greentown, which is opposite Moven Peak steakhouse. 
Offer period is buy one free one (the free one got 2 flavours to choice, the normal Milk Tea and Passion Fruit QQ) haiyo, dun so tamak la~ free one is like that de loh
I tried the Green Tea Matcha with Red Bean with free Milk Tea
and Mango QQ with free Passion Fruit
I know, I know, from so many crazy varieties and I choose this two..Hey, I'm sure you'll go @@ when you see their menu. *dizzy*  

And lastly my favourite food when I'm small, KAYA-BALL
one of the best delicacies that can make you go hungry when you smell it from far
Eomma and Appa used to buy this for Unnie and me when we shop at Super Kinta
You can only get the best kaya-ball from there but so Sorry, Super Kinta already closed down for many many year la..hehe, Don't Jealous loh~

so that is SOME  of the food that make me fat, double chin, cellulite and whatever la
but I still like them so much
WARNING: STAY AWAY FROM IPOH IF YOU WANT TO STAY SLIM

Pre-Birthday Celebration Continue

After sleeping soundly till 10am on the next day after MTV Worldstage Concert
It's time to look for food again~
Times Square because Fake Ken wanna go Low Yat (guys~)
We thought of going Kim Gary for their cheese baked rice
but we are blinded by hunger and miss Kim Gary
and we found a hearty Korean Restaurant open by real Korean
and the most hilarious part is...what to the end..
tell you all later..hehe~
Food Picture time, ta-daa~
sorry~ I forgot the shop name ><

Each set come with two set of food and a baked rice green tea (definitely with side dishes)
and their KIMCHI is superly nice, with the perfect garlic and spicy taste
you see the 3 side dishes plate on a row, the KIMCHI is the middle one
you can buy it for Rm8
and the set was only for RM16.90, so worth the money

Ddeobeokki is mine, we call it Nian Gou in chinese exceot it's not sweet
chewy and spicy *beware it's the devil level spicy

Ramen for Fake Ken~
taste like instant Ramen but the better version (just like people just like to order Maggi/Cintan Mee at Oldtown or HK style cafe)

Bibimbap~ this is super nice, if you like sushi, I'm sure you'll like this
the rice and the ingredients inside the rolls blend perfectly with a hint of sesame oil
(the sesame oil is the main actor in here)

as we know from korean drama, ddeobeokki come with soup
with some fishballs inside, this soup is just so n so~
but again the Kimchi *heaven

more ddeobeokki picture (the chopstick is too skinny, hard to use ah)

Ta-daa, the famous jjaengmen, MINE~
too bad that it doesn't come with pickles radish..kinda bland

With the thin matchstick-like chopstick, I have to mix everything together
hand super tired~
the sauce contain beef and potato and.. I also dunno la
But overall the shop is very nice and it give us a warm feeling with greetings from everyone
