Arisu Korean @ Riana Green, PJ

Arisu serves some of the best korean in town I reckon ... tucked away inside the Riana Green condominium complex at Damansara.
Add: Riana Green, Jalan Tropicana Utara, PJ
Tel: +603 7803 6737

My previous visit to Mrs Kim's restaurant

We always enjoy the starters ... which keep getting re-filled!
The bottomless cups of Korean green tea cost RM$1.50 per head.


And of course the de' rigueur ... Dolsot Bibimbap! (RM$18)



Koreans describe it best ...
Bibimbap ... A Creative One-dish Meal
Bibimbap is simply a bowl of rice that is mixed with various kinds of vegetables, together with mushrooms, a fried egg, and ground meat, and seasoned with red chili pepper paste. A dribble of sesame oil can add to its savory taste. To foreign nationals who are not familiar with Korean food culture, the concept of bibim (mixing rice with side dishes) might seem somewhat obscure. The basic objective of bibimbap is to combine various ingredients with rice in order to create a harmony of contrasting tastes.

I can't remember what this dish is called, but its my favourite, pork slices and tang-hun like noodles with straw mushrooms in a very VERY hot broth, served in a claypot ... used to think it was Bulgogi, but now I realised Bulgogi = Marinated sizzling meat! Oops :-)
UPDATE! Its called ... Tuk Bae Gi (RM$20)



ps - Total damage for the meal, just over RM$45.
