San Nae Deul @ Nexus Bangsar South

First time visited to this place name Nexus, which located at Bangsar South as my sister was 

invited to attend an art auction. Me and my younger sister spent time walking around Nexus 

and we found this, San Nae Deul. 

They were having a special promotion so here we went for our lunch. =) After consulted 

the staff, RM25 for lunch is only for those food that pre-cooked by chef. If want to have 

the BBQ session, we have to top up another RM10 per person. 

Since is first time, let’s try BBQ. =P

Once we walked in, there are a bar serving all the meats for BBQ. Behind that bar, there is a 

salad bar which served all the pre-cooked foods. There dining area is separated into 3 types, 

which are open space, cubicle or room. 

The variety of pre-cooked food is a lot. All the meats are ready in different methods and there 

are a lot of side dishes, which included rice rolls, tteokbokki, Kimchi pancake, seaweed, 

Korean dumpling and others. They also served spaghetti and Korean fried rice. 

In term of BBQ, there are different types of marinated meats as well as non-marinated meats. 

We also have ice-cream as our dessert after the BBQ lunch. They have their ice-cream 

machine near to the meat bar, with a jar of the canned mix fruit at side to use as topping for 

the ice-cream.

Jipangi (지팡이) @ Sunway Pyramid

Had been so lazy for the past month and now I am back! (2015 01 11)

As I am a Korea Lover (addicted to everything from Korea after I came back from there), today I found something new that come from Korea. My sister called it as “Ice Cream J” due to the shape, but the actual name is “Jipangi” (지팡이).

It is actually Ice Cream in the J-consonant corn cone. There are 2 flavours of the ice cream which are creamy vanilla and premium chocolate. The vanilla taste is quite normal but the chocolate flavour is a bit bitter as it is more toward the strong dark chocolate taste. 

You can order it separately or 2 flavours in 1 cone as per what I ordered.

3 choices available for you:

Creamy Vanilla @ RM7

Premium Chocolate @ RM7

Mixed Flavours @ RM9

On that day, we were lucky that “Jipangi” was having their new flavour testing which is 

mango flavour. The mango flavour is more toward yogurt ice cream in mango flavour which 

taste sweet and sour. 

Where to find “Jipangi”?

Sunway Pyramid, LG2

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.

Uncle Chong that i met in HanWoori

 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.

Cross the pedestrian flyover to the opposite 

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.
