Saemaeul BBQ – 21 April 2016

Sun Wei and myself decided to give Virginie a dinner treat since Virginie did our make-up for our recent performance-Decadance, so we decided on a Korean BBQ.

Since Virginie loves everything about Korea, we asked her to choose where to go and she decided on a place called Saemaeul BBQ at Solaris, the new Korean village in Kuala Lumpur.

This restaurant is situated at a corner and it’s kind of open-air. It was pretty busy for a Thursday night so we could rest assured that the food must be good.

Inside the restaurant





Virginie did the ordering and she was the chef for the night. Sun Wei and I just ate whatever was served on the table. The only comment I have about the food would be that there were not many choices of appetizers compared with at other restaurants. If I remember correctly, there were only 5 appetizers. On top of the appetizers, we ordered pork belly, lamb and beef (marinated very nicely), Korean ball rice and kimchi soup.   

Korean spicy rice, topped with seaweed. Now, where's the ball? (RM23)

Our chef, this is how you suppose to make the rice ball? Mixed it up

Continue to mix the rice while waiting for meat to be cooked

Voila, the Korean spicy rice ball. If you like spicy rice ball, then you will like this. It was a little too spicy for me but I still enjoyed it. 

Kimchi soup was very nice. You can really taste the spicy sour soup. You won't stop drinking the soup......(RM16)

The lamb was marinated to perfection. I recommend the lamb (RM25)

A mixture of pork belly (RM25) and beef (RM50). Sun Wei and myself liked the beef very much, followed by lamb and lastly pork. Overall, the meat was well marinated, tender and juicy. 

The service in this restaurant was fast. The ambience of the restaurant was pretty simple. If you want free parking around the shop lots be prepared to go a few rounds before finding parking, unless you park inside the building.
