Ko Hyang

Hankook Eumshik Massisseo!!

A very good day for you guys who are reading this page. How are you guys today? I guess it must be very good and fine day for you guys right. For today post, we are going to move on from dessert posts to a meal post. But we are not going to try the normal Malaysian meal. We are going to try Korean Food. The korean food which we are going to try for today is the Korean restaurant named Ko Hyang.

Ko Hyang Korean Country Delights is a simple Korean food outlet established in 2008 in Malaysia. ‘Ko Hyang’ means hometown in Korean. We have brought with us our daily traditional recipe of country style home-cooked meals from our hometown in Korea. Ko Hyang now offers patrons in Malaysia the experience of savoring Korean home-cooked meals never before so authentic. As with the tradition, all meals are cooked without using MSG seasoning. The selection of rice, vegetables, meat and seafood dishes, as well as the traditional noodles, are truly an utmost healthy and nutritional meal for everyone.

For today we visited one of Ko Hyang branch which is located at Sunway Pyramid. The size of the restaurant is very small and can only occupate arount 20-30 people for the store.

For today review, we are going to order four of the famous korean food which is Kimchi Bokkeumbab, Kalguksu, Dolsot Bibimbap and Dalk Bokkeum.

Kimchi fried rice or kimchi-bokkeum-bap is a variety of bokkeum-bap, a popular dish in Korea. Kimchi Fried Rice is made primarily with kimchi and rice, along with other available ingredients, such as diced vegetables or meats like spam. The Kimchi Fried Rice that is served has a very nice taste and spicy flavour and an egg served at the top of the Kimchi Bokkeumbbap.

Kal-guksu is a Korean noodle dish consisting of handmade, knife-cut wheat flour noodles served in a large bowl with broth and other ingredients. It is traditionally considered a seasonal food, consumed most often in summer. Its name comes from the fact that the noodles are not extruded or spun, but cut. The noodle is serve with eggs as garnish, fried shallot and seaweed. Before eating the Kalguksu you need to mix the noodle very well so the taste will be very dense and nice.

Bibimbap is a Korean rice dish. The term “bibim” means mixing various ingredients, while the “bap” noun refers to rice. Bibimbap is served in a bowl of warm white rice topped with namul (sautéed and seasoned vegetables) or kimchi (traditional fermented vegetables) and gochuchang (chilli pepper paste), soy sauce, or doenjang (a fermented soybean paste). A raw or fried egg and sliced meat (usually beef, chicken or pork) are common additions. The hot dish is stirred together thoroughly just before eating. It is called Dolsot Bibimbap because it is serve in Dolsot which is is a small-sized cookware/serveware made of agalmatolite suitable for one to two servings of cooked rice. To eat the bibimbap, the rice need to be mix well along with their special red peppe paste which is called gochujang.

Dalk Bokkeum is a kind of same as Dalkgalbi. Dalkgalbi or spiculy stir-fried chicken is a popular Korean dish made by stir-frying marinated diced chicken in a gochujang-based sauce with sweet potatoes, cabbage, perilla leaves, scallions, tteok (rice cake), and other ingredients. The meal is also served with soup and red grain rice as well.

We also order their famous drink which is called Shikkhae or Korean Barley.
