the Coriander was Outstanding ...

There are times when an approach of 'everything and the kitchen sink' works. Dinner yesterday was one of those times.

It looks wonderful, doesn't it ?

Seoul Palace The 19 USJ Mall

So we went to the Seoul Palace at The 19 USJ Mall after heard some good review from our friend. The place is nicely decorated.

So, we ordered the most popular dish -- marinated beef, a taufu soup and a seafood pancake. At first all look fine, the drink came and the plate got heat up and ready for action.

The side dishes was served and the dinner was started. But the first bike on the kimchi was a huge let down. It doesn't taste nice, kind of like dry and have a funny taste. That is a huge disappointment, is kind of like a Malay stall who doesn't cook nice tomyam. I didn't even ask for any refill. The Korean barley also taste funny.

Overall the beef was ok, so is the taufu and pancake but nothing spectacular. So, it was just a so so Korean cuisine. And we even have a small company during the dinner which was quite annoying.




Final verdict, we won't be going back for more. Han Woo Ri in Taipan served much better food with cheaper price.

Waterlily @ Puchong

If you like Bumbu Bali or Ole Bali but don't like the prices, there is an alternative for you. The sister restaurant, Waterlily in Puchong. The ambiance is quite nice at night with Balinese touch. Suitable for family as well as couple. The restaurant has in door and out door setting to fit your needs.

This restaurant is famous for lemongrass bbq. The lamb chop is quite nice with reasonable price, RM20.00. Well, it used to cost RM13.90.

Ngap Thui Meen

I have long heard Michelle say that Puchong doesn't have any gastronomical delights to offer. The comparison, of course, is to Cheras where she used to stay. I do admit that Cheras has some delightful eating places, but apparently there is a foodie who thinks that Puchong does have something to offer :

NGAP THUI MEEN

The foodie contends that Puchong has one of the best Ngap Thui Meen stalls in Malaysia situated right next to the Tesco hypermarket at the Ramai coffee shop. His article is right here:

Now, we've been to this coffee shop donkey times but we've never ever ordered from this stall. Looks like that situation will have to change - at least for a trial.

So the next time you're in Puchong, you might want to try this Ngap Thui Meen and taste what the fuss is all about.
