Its been long since I last post review on food & restaurants, right? But there's nothing much we can do though since it's COVID time and it's better to stay at home than go outside to have fun. We usually do takeaway instead of dining if we wanna eat restaurant/ stall food in as it's safer but I usually cook on a daily basis.
I mean, should I start sharing recipes now? 🤔 #ChefJadian lol
Back to Mr. Dakgalbi. Have you tried them? I tried twice. The first time was with my friend, I was so noob and jakun because I went there without doing any research hahah but that was like 3 years ago in KL. Since there's a Mr Dakgalbi restaurant nearby, I decided to treat my Husband for his bday! (pastu dia memang tak pernah makan, so here we go!)
|| THE RESTAURANT
Mr Dakgalbi is a restaurant serving Dakgalbi- a really popular Korean Stir Fried Chicken that is cooked with ramen, cabbage, potato, some tteok, and many other ingredients with the special spicy sauce. When you almost finish your meal, add on rice, more spicy sauce, some seaweed and turn it to fried rice! So it's like eating 2 course meals but in a big portion. really, it's Biiiiggg!
And yes, Mr Dakgalbi is a franchise and there are many outlets in Malaysia as of now. But I could not find their official website so I can't list out the branches for you. But you can always google search for the Mr Dakgalbi restaurants nearby. Plus, they are available on Food Panda so you can always tapau!
Due to COVID-19, half of the area is closed to public so that there are limited seatings inside the restaurant. This is easier for them to control the amount of customers dining in at a time. They also have limited worker during this period so expect slow service.
But honestly, the restaurant is clean!
|| THE MENU
The menu is not that difficult to understand but if you're a first timer, confirm blur macam laki aku hahah! (actually i pon blur jugak since I haven't been there in 3 years). But worry not, there are many sets available so you don't need to choose everything 1 by 1 and just ask the staff there, they're really nice and will help you and explain to you what you want to know.
Here are the menus available. My sister said that the fried chicken is tasty but honestly i couldn't see the menu here. will ask the staffs if I come again!
|| EATING GUIDE
Haaaa! another restaurant review with eating guide!
Okay basically, just sit and watch. The staff will cook everything in front of you and all you need to do is wait (and take videos + pictures for your instagram of course!). They'll let you know once it's ready.
The staff will cook the dakgalbi first, without the fried rice. Just eat them, and call the staff when you're like 70% to 80% done so the staff will make a fried rice with your dakgalbi leftover.
But since this outlet was short of staff when we went (i think la), they cook it altogether so you don't need to call them again for the fried rice. Honestly, i love this way better!!
|| THE FOOD
The food was superb and I am confident to say that it's waaaayyyy better than the one I ate in KL. Serius.
The portion was big. Since there was only 2 of us, we ordered Jju-ddak which is a webfoot octopus dakgalbi set for 2 pax. There's also chicken in the set but this one includes octopus and we didn't dare to order any fried chicken or other side menu as I already warn my husband that the portion is huge! (bukan kedekut sebab aku belanja birthday guy k hahah!)
We actually avoid eating heavy food since lunch time because I said that the portion is big so naturally when the food came, we ate our hearts out. Still tak habis, and we managed to eat like, 3/5 out of everything. We asked the staff to tapau the balance and we ate it as breakfast the next morning. Kemain kan jah, breakfast dakgalbi. HAHA
Yeorobeun (everyone),... we ate that for breakfast and we were full until 3pm. so maknanya, we ate 2 times for 2paxs portion tu and still kekenyangan! berbaloi baloi!
|| HALAL STATUS
Mr Ddakgalbi claim that their ingredients are pork free and alchohol free. They also got their fresh ingredients from halal certified supplier, you can view their Facebook page HERE for the updated news.
|| OUR REVIEW
So here's my honest review on this restaurant, and I pay for the meal using my own money (not sponsored)
🍲 4.8 overall
🍲 4.9 for food! It's fresh, tasty and the portion is really huge! Kimchi je biasa-biasa.
🍲 5.0 for staffs. The chef is VERY POLITE! and the girl that take our order and cook us our food is also friendly and polite.
🍲 4.8 for ambience
🍲 4.6 for service. the service is quite slow but I can understand. A lot of business is struggling to survive so they have to cut their operation cost by reducing workers, and I guess here too. I hope their business survive!
🍲 4.8 for the price. We ate 2 times, including when we tapau the food home. It's really worth it!

Okay back to my review. But first, i will use BM here tau, unlike my previous posts.
|| ATOMY, TAK PERNAH DENGAR PON?
I have been listening to my non muslim friend speaking about Atomy non-stop but dalam hati ada jugak fikir, bestnya join ATOMY tapi tak yakin la sebab tak pernah dengar langsung pasal Atomy ni. Entah bagus entah tak tu satu. Halal satu lagi jugak. Aku nak join buat apa wei kalau aku sendiri ragu-ragu hahah. Ramai non muslim tak berapa aware dengan what is Halal and what is not. Ramai tahu Halal tapi tak 100% tahu especially yang bab produk kongsi mesin dengan non-halal items (paling senang pork la kan). So ragu-ragu jugak la kan, sebab skincare banyak je yang tak ada logo halal tapi at least kita tahu dia ni plant based ke, ada ingredients derived from animals ke, vegan friendly ke kan.
Tapi kawan aku ni bagus, dia banyak tanya macam mana Halal semua so aku ajar lah dia. Jadi bila food items atau benda pelik-pelik, dia tak promote kat aku. tapi produk yang ada logo Halal atau 100% plant based, dia suka sangat bagi aku try.
Nak dijadikan cerita, satu hari tu aku bukak instagram je nampak post Farah Lee dengan Atomy Vitamin C. Lama jugak I follow beliau ni dan kalau korang tak kenal Farah Lee, dia ni la pengasas clothing line OmmaEsabelle, dulu blajar kat Korea tau. Bila dia sendiri yang cakap pasal Atomy, terus I register pasal memang dia ni stay bertahun kat Korea, fasih Korea dan member Korea pon ramai. Plus, dia muslim dan tahu Halal ni macam mana kan. Settle bab ragu haha!
Lepas selidik sana sini, rupanya ATOMY ni, barang dia sama kilang dengan Laneige, Lancome, MaryKay, Avon, Herbalife, Nature Republic, Etude House, Innisfree, dan macam-macam lagi. Kilang ni kilang kosmetik terbesar di asia tapi nampak tak brand apa yang kat atas tu? High end kan? exactly!

Atomy ni mendapat pengiktirafan dari Kementerian Sains Korea dan KAERI pulak memang institut Atom/ Nuklear negara Korea yang banyak buat research. Kat KAERI sahaja ada beratus ratus saintis dan researcher. Pastu ATOMY ada jugak dapat subsidi dari kerajaan Korea Selatan, sebab tu barang-barang Atomy ni high quality tapi harga takdelah mahal macam Mary Kay atau Laneige tu.
Nak register pulak kena ada introducer, means kalau korang nak register tu kena inform sesiapa existing member nanti diorang tolong register (click SINI untuk register for FREE!)
