Little Korea @ Ampang

Had been heard about this Little Korea in Ampang for quite some time and finally I make my 

trip to visit there. It was an unplanned trip and I just try my luck to reach there. The Little Korea located opposite of Ampang Point Shopping Complex. There are many buses from KLCC or 

Ampang Park LRT station that will stop at this Ampang Point Shopping Complex. 

The area was quite dark as I reached there almost 8pm and most of the shops were closed. Due 

to the visit of Korean Navy team to Malaysia, there was a welcoming event at there for the 

Korean Expat in Malaysia. 

There are a few grocery marts that selling Korea products at Little Korea. However, there were 

only 2 marts operated at that time. After visit both of them, I found that items in “필 마트” are 

selling at the lower price. 

 There are a lot of Korean restaurants. I decided to go for dinner at HanWoori which is more 

crowded compare to the others. As I was alone, I decided to join another Korean customer 

who was also alone for dinner. 

I had ordered a simple Spicy Fried Pork. There are about 6 types of “Ban Chan” and they 

also serve watermelon as dessert after the meal. Different from other Korean restaurant, they 

only serve plain water for free instead of green tea. However, you can still order green tea 

or some other drinks if you want.

 Here are the products that i purchased from the mart. First one is my favourite drink that i always have when i was study in Korea. The second is a soft jelly in peach flavour. 

 How to reach there?

Take bus from KLCC or Ampang Lrt Station to Ampang Point Shopping Mall.

Durian Puff by Taste Better @ Jonker Street, Malacca

Jonker Street in Malacca is a well-known tourist spot in Malaysia. Apart from cendol and

 chicken riceball, the durian puff there is also very famous. 

Taste Better, the name of the store, are in the middle of Jonker Street. There are 3 flavours of 

their puff which are cempedak, durian and yogurt. I like durian flavour the most. =P The cream is smooth and full with durian smell. 

Apart from the puff, the ice cream that they are selling is recommended as well. Maybe I am really a durian lover,I like the durian ice cream a lot. There are dragon fruit and other flavours as well. 

Taste Better is now available at different location. I did try the puff that selling at The Mines, but the taste is different compare to the one I have in Jonker Street.

Sae Ma Eul BBQ (새마을 BBQ) @ Solaris Mont Kiara

Decided to search for some new places apart from Daorae or Dae Jang Geum, for Korean Food 

and we found that Mont Kiara have lots of Korean Restaurant. Walking around in Mont Kiara, we decided to go into this Sae Ma Eul BBQ as there was a lot of Koreans dining inside.

The decorations and surrounding there made me feel that I am in Korea. Compare to Daorae 

and Dae Jang Geum that has the modern design, Sae Ma Eul has the local Korea feel with the stainless steel table with charcoal stove in the middle. 

Unlike those restaurants that serve plenty of side dishes, Sae Me Eul only serves KimChi, pickles 

and chives. We decided to go for BBQ set which have sliced pork belly, pork shoulder and baby octopus for 2-3 person. 

The staff came over and helped us to grill the meat as we are not sure how to grill it. The pork 

was juicy and the marinated baby octopus was chewy and good. The baby octopus is something 

that must not miss out. 

Do bear in mind, if you want to pay less, bring cash along. They will have a 6% tax charge if 

you make  payment by card.

Korea Medicine for Inner K-Beauty Workshop

Attended another workshop organized by Korea Tourism Organization - Korea Medicine for 

Inner K-Beauty. Actually I was attracted by the free consultation and free massage provided 

in the workshop. 

Korea Plaza had invited a young lady to perform 2 songs to the audiences. She studied Korea Traditional Music as her major in University and currently as a teacher for the Sejong Class organized by Korea Plaze. She looks young, but I was truly amazed by her vocal especially

 in singing traditional songs. 

 The presentation by Dr Choi Korea Medical Palaca took place after the performances. She 

asked for volunteers for the acupuncture demonstration after her presentation about Health topic. 

I was shy at the first time but decided to raise up my hand when they asking for second volunteer. This was my first try doing acupuncture. 

That's me doing the acupuncture

 After all the presentation, we been served with Korean dishes such as Bibimbap, Japchae, 

Korean Pancake, Kimchi and also Samgyetang (Chicken Ginseng Soup). 

I also lined up for the free massage after my meal. The massage was short but I was truly 

enjoying the whole process. I felt so relax after the massage.

The workshop of Korea Medicine for Inner K-Beauty organized by Korea Plaza had showed 

me another side of Korea.

Sun May Hiong Satay House @ Malacca

Satay is one of the famous foods in Malaysia, mostly made by chicken or beef. Pork Satay is something must not miss out when you visiting Malacca. 

The surrounding of Sun May Hiong Satay House was empty and quite and this make a big contrast as the Satay House was full with crowd. You might able to see the smoke when you are nearby as they grilled the satay at the entrance of the shop.

There are 3 types of satay that serve in the satay house: chicken, pork and pork liver. As I was

 there about 5.30pm, the chicken satay had sold out. The pork satay was good as they mix the 

meat and fat together. 

Their satay sauce was special as they are not using the common peanut sauce used by other satay sellers. The taste of sauce is more toward sweet and sour type. 

You can ask the staff to add on the satay until you have enough. They will count the stick that 

you ate when you want to make the payment. The satay is selling at RM0.80 per stick and the 

rice is RM1.50 per plate.

Lim Kee Claypot Bah Kut Teh @ Malacca

This is my first try to Restaurant Lim Kee which famous with their Claypot Bah Kut Teh. I heard 

that it is always full with crowd. Maybe it was raining for the whole morning and we able to get 

seat once we reached there (about 11.30am). 

A big & Clear signboard by the roadside

They are only serving Bah Kut Teh (肉骨茶) and Pork Trotter in Vinegar (猪脚醋). As me and my family were quite full after the breakfast in the hotel, we decided only to go with Bah Kut Teh.

The soup of Bah Kut Teh is dark and strong flavoured. We requested to have a mix of the 

ingredients which includes pork ribs, pork meatball, kidney, intestine, bean curd and others. Of course we can’t miss out the best partner of Bah Kut Teh, You Char Kuey (油条).

They also serve yam rice instead of normal write rice. Their yam rice is delicious and worth to try.

Caffé Bene @ Jaya Mall , Petaling Jaya

Hurray!!! Finally I had able to try in the food and drinks in Caffé Bene. After the opening of 

the first Caffé Bene in Sunway Pyramid, I was always interested to try their Bingsu. However, it 

was always full house and I have no chance to try even though after few months. Luckily there 

is a new branch in Jaya Mall, Petaling Jaya.

Bingsu is my favourite dessert when I was in Korea. There are 5 variants of Bingsu served 

in Caffé Bene – Pat (original flavour), Coffee, Green Tea, Cookies & Cream, Strawberry. 

However, the Strawberry flavour is still not available when I visited the branch in Jaya Mall.

I had tried their Green Tea Bingsu (Double), Cookies and Cream Bingsu (Single) and 

Caramel Cinnamon Bread. 

There are 2 sizes for Bingsu, “Single” for smaller portion or “Double” for bigger portion. 

Their “Single” is enough to be shared for two person.

Green Tea Bingsu (Double)

Cookies & Cream Bingsu (Single)

 Normally people will come for coffee or Bingsu, however the bread is quite nice as well. The Caramel Cinnamon Bread that I tried is crunchy at the outer layer and soft in the inner part.
