I don’t always eat Korean (the food I mean!) but a true blue Korean restaurant like Tok Su Gong gave me culture shock the first time I dine in there a few years back. With better knowledge of what to order now, I don’t feel as intimidated to walk in the door than the last time.
The first culture shock was the side dishes which I am kinda warm of the idea now. I mean, free flowing side dishes! What is there not to like? Hehehe, I always wanted seconds for the spinach dish!
The steamed egg on stone pot is also one of my favourite side dish, despite the fact that it is tongue scalding hot. Ouch!
This hot beancurd soup is the same as the one I had last time in Dae Jang Gum.
A very well stirred bibimbap. I would’ve wanted to take picture of the nicely arranged veggies and meat, but since the waitress offerred to stir them, I might as well, yeah? They can do it better than me, that’s for sure!
A nice dessert of cut fruits and Korean tea. Aside from the sum of the main course plus tax, everything else is free! Pretty reasonable for all the refills of side dishes and teas that I asked for.

Well, well. Its the Seoul Garden BBQ Buffet again! The hotplate is still clean, but not for long.
Between J and I, we seem to love steamboat buffet a lot. Yes, that means we ate them often enough like we are living in winter, LOL!
The raw foodstuffs. Raw beef, raw seafood, raw chicken and raw vegetables.
Processed food like fishballs, fishcakes and the likes are popular steamboat ingredients.
My meeeaaatttt~~~~ Plus some veggie.
Some pickle salad and potato salad. The potato salad was good.
Shaved ice toppings! Assemble your own shaved ice.
There’s ice cream too! As usual the price was RM16.99 per person for student price, but you gotta make it there before 4.30pm on weekdays and show them your student ID. Otherwise it would be RM18.99 weekdays and RM21.99 weekends, I think. Price slash applies only to children under 12 and senior citizens.

Anyo haseyo! This time round I am posting up some pictures taken while dining in Dae Jang Gum. These were taken a month or two back, right after final exams. I’ve been passing by this place every time in Melaka Raya, so the itch to try it out was great.
Anyone who watches the popular Korean series Jewel in The Palace will know the mascot of this place, Da Chang Jin.
The idea of eating Korean food is still quite new to me. *Wipe hands with towel*
We opted for pork, on the safe side, and the waitress came to cook the meat for us all thoroughly. How disappointing. I thought I could play a bit, but never mind.
Fresh lettuce.
Spicy bean curd soup. I love them hot and spicy!
A table full of side dishes, all refillable. Here are some close up shots of the side dishes.
Fried anchovies and peanut.
Cockles.
Braised eggs.
Bean sprouts.
Green chili cuts and garlic.
Salt and bean paste dippings.
It was good experience, even when we have some communication problem with the server. Price is on the expensive side though, and the place is kinda empty when we were there, which is on a weekday dinnertime.

Watched 300 today! Was shopping and thinking of what to eat in Mahkota Parade with sis and JY. Since Korean is the new thing in the mall, we went for it. RM16.99 per person for student price. LOL. I think they definitely earn from us. We could never eat that much anyway.
Okay, this is the hotplate with a small pot of boiling soup in the middle. We chose baby abalone soup base. Must add RM4.00 for that. Oh, that’s ma soeur taking pictures. 
The squid. *Two thumbs up*
The fishball stuffs. If I am going for a second time, I am not taking any of these.
Some prawns and cockles. Is it cockles or clams har? I know its some shellfish.
The marinated beef and chicken. Black pepper beef’s the best!
The sauces. We took almost all types of sauces, lol!
Some tidbits. The fried tausarpau is nice. At first I thought the triangle thingy was yam triangle, but it turned out to be spicy one…
*Busy cooking*
On a second thought, I returned to the buffet spread to take some blanched spinach, kimchis and leeks.
Today’s dish #1: Sauteed prawn with special sauce by moi.
Today’s dish #2: Stir fried beef with onion, spring onions and leek, also by moi.
Selfish shellfish soup.
I love the chopped nuts!
And at least three servings of ice creams with chopped peanuts and cocktail fruits.
I think we can’t finish everything we took lor. Fearing the food wastage penalty, we got up and walk fast fast after we were done. So damn hard to walk fast with a bursting full stomach I tell you!
