Daorae Premium Korean Dining - Tg Tokong ( NH )


Whoever it was who started the rumour, that Psy came here because he was forced to meet someone, is spewing hot air from their behind .
If you wanna treat someone to authentic, delicious Korean food and make them feel special, this place is it ! Don't listen to the rumourmongers !




When we chose to sit over where the charcoal burners were,  we never expected to be treated like superstars , especially since we were just dressed so casually in tees and crocs. But treat us like royalty they did !
Take a look at how much we spent. The treatment they gave us, was as if we had just splashed $2,500 on romantic dinner near the Eiffel Tower !
Unbelievable but true !




The No.1 house rule, if you want to enjoy charcoal BBQ instead of portable gas stove BBQ is , you must place an order for 2 BBQ dishes. We chose one spicy pork ( Maeun Dweji Galbi ) ...

....the other a spicy squid ( Yang nyum O jing er Goo e )

Three waiters took turns to personally attend to the grilling  for us , from beginning to end, flipping the metal plate for a new one everytime it turned black. Cutting everything with a scissors. Aiyo.... I felt like the Queen of Tg Tokong there and then.

Next, the banchan selection is so freaking extravagant. Black beans, beansprouts, lotus root, ladies fingers,  steamed egg, spinach, 2 types of kimchi, perfect lettuce leaves, chives pancake ....omg...I can't recall, everything. There were just so many things on the table !

Even the simple guk they gave each one of us actually tasted good !

For RM $20 we found half a medium sized flower crab inside with tons of kapah clams , dried minced pollock meat, chopped potatoes etc. The soup is extremely addictive ! Very, very good !


So, would I come back ? Most definitely ! 
We gave the waiter a tip as service of this level is hard to come by in Penang. 
Good job !
