Chow Down: Little Korea@Sunway Mentari

Malaysia is a haven of food and its people are constantly spoilt by the vast selections of all the yummy food around us, day and night. Always preferring low-key dinners on ordinary days, Luv and I seldom step into expensive eateries.

However, on one lovey-dovey Saturday after 3 rounds of pool game, it was time for dinner and we found Little Korea in Sunway Mentari. Craving for something different that evening, we gave it a try.

Korean meal is never complete without its iconic dish of Kimchi, the traditional dish made of fermented cabbage with seasonings. Ironically, both of us aren’t fans of that. Fortunately, it was served in a small plate as one of the many side dishes. Yeah, one good thing about Korean cuisine is that diners are presented with a variety of complimentary side dishes. They come in small plates and each could be refilled once!

Besides kimchi, our side dishes consisted of fish cake, brinjal, cockles, pancakes (nice!) and vegetables. For the main course, we had rice with soup, seafood noodles and stir-fried rice cake.

So much for two!

Two thumbs up from Luv.

Towards the end of the meal, we were surfeited. No enough green tea could catalyse the digestion.

Slouched in our chair, we were further surprised by the waitress who came to our table and put down two bowls of dessert and a small plate of watermelon slice.

“This is like a fine dine. We’re continuously served with dishes that we don’t order,” uttered Luv.

At one point we hesitated on those gratis servings until the bill came to RM62. For so much food, it was truly reasonable.
