Dorae - Korean BBQ @ Bayan Baru, Penang

Posted by Taufulou | Labels: , , , , | Posted On Friday, November 13, 2009 at 12:11 AM

Korean food, at times its hard to resist when comes to BBQ. To me, their signature is always BBQ yet when I went to Korea that time, it was not the case but in Malaysia, it looks like this are the kind of food that we could get, all under one roof. Honestly, if you ask me where is the nice Korean BBQ food so far on the island, definitely I am recommending this shop. Being one of the latest addition into the market it had gain its reputation quite fast and quite recognise by alot of my friends too.

As I always heard to get good Korean food was some where around Ampang but then my buddy Yeong brought me to this shop at Sri Hartamas and then now they had operated in Penang. My parents not being a big fan of grill stuff then I decided to bring and expose them to the little great environment they have there.

Their decoration is sure the same as the one they had in Hartamas.

Even the interior. The restaurant is quite pack and it is advise to do a reservation before you proceed, if not you will of course be seated at this lower ground. The very friendly boss is from Korea.
Ground floor setting is different from upstairs.

Upstairs they do have their own private room that would best for birthday celebration, client or family gathering.
This would be the place which we were seated. A very traditional Korean concept that makes you feel like you are part of the culture.

If you are a Saju lover, then you would not want to miss their selection, temptation to order.


For me, I am 100% sure that I do not know how to read Korean yet with the translation of English on the dish would not be perfect with picture illustration. It is easy for me to ask my parents what they want to eat and just point without actually have to explain to them what are the sauces or how it looks like.
Variety of meats are available and with different seasoning too.

Before the mains for serve, your table will be filled with all those small little appetizer to start of with, if you find any that you like, you can just refill any of the choices or get the whole set refill at your desk at no time.

You will be only left a very small place for you to ngam ngam put your own cutleries only.

Being a pork ribs lover in BBQ pit which is a must order item, 'Hanbang Dweji Wang Galbi' RM35

The pork ribs was well marinated and
The Pork Ribs was well marinated balace with some fats and meat, and after BBQ'ing for a while the meat is tender and its juicy. If you wrap it with lettuce and dip with the sesame sauce will add in the extra kick in it.
Being a fan of 'SonDuBu JjiGae' the taste is very appealing. Not that spicy as the colour looks like yet a bit of the sour taste accompany by a bowl of rice is a great companion. RM17

To me in BBQ, lamb is always a must for me which is 'Yang Gogi' marinated evenly and was cook perfectly by the helper. BBQ to its softness and the taste of the lamb is there with oozing of the after BBQ juice that had created by the lamb on the grill pan is just something we enjoy very much. RM35


The perfectly grill lamb.
Normal eater like my parents, they always prefer to have chicken, just in case they do not know how to enjoy the rest of the order. 'Yang-nyum Dak-Gal-Bi' RM27




After enjoying the first 2 great dish, then this had become something like so so. It would be better if they serve this first at least your taste bud can try something from okay to good.

At the end of the meal, you will be enjoying a comlimentary watermelon but we were enjoying our great meal there. My parents would sure returning to this restaurant again.

Here are my review on Hartamas Branch, KL.

Dorae-Korean BBQ Restaurant @ Mont Kiara

This is my second visit to this restaurant. My friend introduce me to this place beginning of the year. Then suddenly thought of eating Korean BBQ and thought of this restaurant.



The boss and the son is very kind and friendly. One thing you must know that the staff here are alot. Really alot.


You will be given a bowl of soup to start of with. The soup is nice, filled with cabbage and taste abit like miso soup.

The garlic in olive oil is heated in the BBQ pitt.

Jason is so excited till he has to msg his friends about this.

For the starter, there are alot of variety to choose from, as what I remembered in the beginning of the year, the starter was not this choices, they have potato salad. Then I was told that they change occasionally. To keep fresh ideas so that customer don eat the same thing.

This is the 'Ginseng Chicken Porridge'. I thought it would be very nice, strong with ginseng taste. I can say that, it is tasteless, it is not what I expected, would have some taste of Ginseng and the wine thing. This dish is totally out. Would not recommend to friends or readers.

This is the 'Korean Pancake'. It is someting like other ordinary pancake, the taste is different. It is something simple and nicely cook. I would recommend this dish.

I remembered that they 'Pork' is nice. why is it nice, see the process then you will understand why. First Grilled...then...

Turn the side, so the other half can be cooked

Cheng Cheng Cheng.......It is done, nicely cooked by one of the helper..Thank you!!! The pork that they cooked out, is juicy, and with the sauce that they have marinated, is strongly preserved. So when you take one bite of it, you can feel the softness, sweetness of the marinated sauce and dip with the sauce given, is totally perfect.

This is the 'Lamb' my personal favourite. Cook with the marinated herbs that they have deep seasoned it.

The nicely golden brown yet not so burn lamb is ready to be eaten..... I like this alot because when you bite it, you can taste the herbs and the marinated sauce something like teriyaki sauce in your mouth. The lamb that they use is so soft, not like some satay stalls you bit it cant bite through the skin of it.

The best way to eat these BBQ is to take the cabbage they put on table, then wrap on it and eat it in. I will just taste so so so nicee....

This is the 'Beef'. Disappointed with this 1, as the slices of the skin is a bit thick. Scared that it might be overcooked or never cooked. You know la..with the 'bangla' at work. Hardly communicate

This is what it had came out. Disappointed. Asking us what we want, we requested medium rare. Based on the picture and the real thing was just in front of me, I would say this looks a bit like ' Bak Kua'. did not manage to finish this dish because not nice, hard, no juicy. You have to look at the meat when they cook, how you like it just take it up instead of BBQ'ing in there for too long till so dry.

This I totally do not have idea what is it call as it is the complimentary of the restaurant. Looks like chawanmushi, but does not taste like one.

Jason is like Hahahaha...we also manage to finish all the food. We really GILA... 1 thing for sure most of us will like, the service here is amazing, 2 tables for 1 waiter. So it is like lightning fast if you need anything. Standby just for you. With all the lovely dish, we do not need to cook ourselves, they are the chef, specially trained, would not say professionally.
