GANGNAM OPPA BBQ - 강남 오빠 @ UPTOWN, DAMANSARA UTAMA
Every now and then, I’ll
definitely be craving for some toothsome fix on Korean food craving especially
my fave kimchi jigae and samgyeopsal. As such, there it is- 강남 오빠 BBQ! (But please, don’t mistaken it for the
cheeky Oppa Gangnam Style track that has swept the whole globe by storm, hehe)
This cozy corner shop
lot located at Uptown is run by a humble Korean family who yearns to serve up authentic
and homey cuisine that includes deliciously barbequed meat feast, just like
what they would enjoy back in their hometown.
Set in both al fresco
as well as air conditioned dining space, Gangnam Oppa BBQ offers assorted
grilled poultry (beef, chicken and pork), along its other yummy ala carte
dishes such as stew plates of soup, noodles, pancake and others. For booze
fans, makgeoli and maekju are also available in the menu.
So we started off
that relaxing weekend with the promotional dinner menu- GANGNAM FAMILY SET (MYR 119) that is suitable for 4-6 pax in a
group. Choose from either Beef Sirloin, or Grilled Beef Short Rib, Pork Belly, Marinated
Pork, Baby Octopus and choose 1 from Soft Tofu Stew, Soybean Stew or Kimchi
Stew.
One of the specialty
is the marinated pork and grilled beef short ribs that has been brilliantly and
zestily marinated with 4 types of fruits, namely kiwi, pineapple, apple and
pear. Now you know why the youthful Koreans are well known for taking good care
of the well beings- they really emphasis lots on natural healings and remedies.
Good to know that!
I love the thicker
meat served here, more texture and pleasant bites- they are one of the most
generous Korean sajangnim thus far in the gastronomic town. Even my partner in
crime also commended such and that’s the reason we already went back for the
second round while this blog is still in the progress, hehe.
Don’t worry, you won’t
end up walking out the restaurant smelling ‘yummily’ with BBQ smell as the air
is very well-ventilated by the commercial exhaust hood that is set up at each
table with the respective installation of silver BBQ grate in the centre of
each table. So, relax and enjoy……………
Not to forget
enjoying their refillable, splendid banchan that is simply lovely! My personal
pick? Has always been the sweet potato and sesame oil-dressed wilted spinach,
yum!
Moving on next it the
OPPA SET (MYR 56) ideal for 2-3 pax.
This would allow you to choose 2 portion from Pork Belly, Spicy Belly, Pork
Shoulder or Marinated Pork and 1 set of stew from the above same range.
Eating at hanguk shitang, I’m sure not
gonna leave without having a bites of their seaweed-inundated SPICY RICE BALL (MYR 19)! I really love
seaweed darnnnnnnn much! I don’t mind to have it mountain-high! Hehe…………….
Put on your glove and
mould it to the shape that you want- should you prefer the unorthodox shape (= And
then, lightly grilled it for some crispiness on the outside.
It’s
bit crunchy on the exterior, sauce are evenly mixed and engulfed with the
fragrance of seaweed. The spiciness level can be adjusted if you can’t tolerate
high SHU like me, haha..
Equally tantalizing
with the Fist Rice had at Shinmapo previously.
Then down the feast
with some cooling HITE BEER!
Currently is running special promotion at MYR 33 for 5 cans! Perfect for the convivial
of the reunion! 건배! Cheers!
Or ganbae more like
Koreans- Soju Bomb!
A voluptuous chemistry
reaction when Beer and Soju meets, resulting in a bubbly concontion that is
sweet and easier to drink than on their respective own, hehe.
The maiden experience
of Seoul Train Soju Bomb at Shinmapo , still
remain vividly till now, for we really had
lots of fun!
Even these 3
musketeers of makgeoli steal the show too, especially the Banana flaovur. It
doesn’t taste bitterish like alcohol at all, more like yogurt drink that so
easy on the throat. So be caution about that- drink moderately, hehe. Each is
yours at MYR 23.
And patrons who
checked in Gangnam Oppa BBQ Facebook when dining here will get a complimentary
Steamed Egg too! Kamsahamnida sajangnim! Be hurry to redeem it by 30th
November 2016.
