Assalamualaikum and Hi, there!
So I was craving for kimchi and korean food (I still am). And Living in a city like Johor Bahru, I'm sure there's gotta be a place i can go to satisfy my craving.
So i google it!
And found this South Gate Restaurant. It is operated by a Korean ahjumma with the help of her assistant. And it is in a houselot. Super comfortable and you got the feeling of being at home! (Except your brothers and sisters wasn't there running and playing around).
So here you go!
The menu
Yukgaejang (spicy beef soup), RM 35.00
Oh, the portion here is just like when you order tomyam at normal stall. This one serves 1 person but i honestly think that this is enough for 2. Besides, the side dishes are sooo many and you can ask for more (refill) for free!
Yukgaejang, Unagi (grilled eel) ***must try!!!!***, and Topoki (lupa price, heeee~)
I honestly am not sure how to spell in romanization- ddeokbokki or topoki? The menu said it is topoki, topoki then!
Unagi
I thought Yukgaejang would be my fav, but yeah, this Unagi wins (harga pon win jugak walaupon sekeping TT~TT ) ! The taste was sooooo memorable and it got that sweety, bit salty and the eel is super tender!. I'm honestly drooling right now. Hahaha~ memang kaw kaw! >:O
Topoki~~~
This one, I makan satu je okay. Because the one we got was a bit keras for me (rasanya kalau masak lama sikit kasi dia lagi lembut, lagi sedap sebab memang jenis suka yang lembut, even nasi. hihihi), since i saw it so jelly like in the tv. Maybe the ahjumma nak cepat kot. But my boyfriend ate those just the way he ate the eel. Don't get me wrong, it was delicious, cuma the rice cake was not that soft. Hahaha~
Some of the side dishes.
Corn pancake, taste like malaysian jemput-jemput with corn. Hahaha~ hey but it's delicious! They also got the potato salad kot namanya, taste okay lah, i dont like it though (but this tastes better than the one at Seoul Garden). Both of us tak berapa gemar taugeh, so tak sentuh pon the taugeh lol. The red one in the picture above, is the oyster in red sauce (haha idk what the name is!). I looove the oyster but i can't really swallow something raw, i can't even swallow raw salmon on sushi! But i ate one. Yes it was delicious, i hope they're cooked 😔
Kimchi!
The kimchi was, seriously, the best kimchi ever! This one also beats the one at seoul garden and the one at Renaissance Hotel JB! I remember we request for more cuz we can't stop eating em! Oh, the kimchi is available for takeaway too for RM 30, if I'm not mistaken.
I'm drooling TT~TT
