Bintulu Korean Restaurant

Bintulu Korean Restaurant at Lintas
This is my favorite place to have Korean food and it's also the one of the first place I wanted to blog about
but it's getting exceedingly difficult to get seats there since they are always full on weekends
Both local as well as Koreans like to dine there

This best dish is the Beef Bulgogi
Most Korean Restaurant's bulgogi come ready made in a stone pot
Not Here
Their beef bulgogi is cooked on the spot:
Almost there

And done!
 The sauce mix together with hot rice is the best darn thing in the world. 

Beef Ribs soup
 The amount of beef given is beyond generous, the soup is light, sweet and refreshing

Pork
 I never eat this, but the rest of my family said its good
 
Popiah filled with meat inside
 You can hardly find these fried food in other Korean Restaurant, I've only seen Bintulu offering this on their menu
I have went to practically all Korean Restaurant in KK, except the one near Likas and 1 Borneo
Read all my reviews here: 

There is another on at Tanjung Aru I haven't blog about yet. Went to Sappul at City Mall and the one near Merdeka Supermarket before too but can't recall if I took any pictures. Any Korean place that is good?

Crab meat stick with cheese wrapped in seaweed and deep fried
 This one is a guilty indulgence. 

Saved some to tapau for my sister, she's working night shift now
The yellow egg thing is a must try dish, I remember I took a picture but no idea where its gone.
Its an omelet with fish in it.
I wanted to dine there again, the food is so good.

Update 20th August 2012:
Went to Bintulu again yesterday, we waited for half and hour and no one came to clear the dirty tables, nor bring us the menu. They said they open till 11pm and we were there at 9pm, the boss just turn a blind eye on us, as if he couldn't see us.

 This is not the first time it happens, but we decided to give them a second chance.
However we are sorely disappointed.

If you don't want to serve us, at least come over and inform us, rather than let us wait there. Your food maybe good, but your service sucks.
This will be the last time we will return there.

Dear readers, if you want good food and good service, please go to Koryo Jeong at Warisan Square.
The husband and wife owner are the most friendly people in the business.

One time when we planned to dine there, but there were too much people. They personally came outside the restaurant and asked us not to leave yet while they quickly clear the tables.

The lack of staffs does not affect their quality of service and food.
They also made it a point to converse with the customers whenever possible, it made us feel welcomed.

Enough of cold, indifferent customer service from Bintulu.

I really love my mix rice

Chinese Zhap Fan
May sound like nothing special to you.
But for someone who works in a building where there are no Chinese food available,
having Chinese Zhap Fan once in a while could be a awesome treat. 

Eggs with Giu Choi

Potato Chicken
 More potato, no chicken please. My meat intake is at minimum.
Baby corns, my favorite.

Look a mess, but it's a yummy mess.
This is from a stall near my house
I only get to eat it once a week on Saturdays

I recently discovered a Chinese place near where I work,
its quite a long walk from my building but it's worth it
They sell Zhap Fan!
Got air con, free ice water and delicious dishes
can take whatever portion we like and the price is reasonable.

Now I can eat Zhap Fan more often
Happy :D

Hearty afternoon tea @Cons Food

At first we only decided to get a quick bite to eat, but it turned into a hearty gastronomic affair. There are just too many yummy things on their menu, how can we resist.
Cheese bake oysters
 Oysters, glorious oysters. This is a great picture even if I do say so myself, they are as good as they looked.
Blue mussel spaghetti
 At first I thought this would have a cream base sauce, but it's tomato base. I bought a packet of mussels and cooked cream sauce pasta with it for 3 days in a row. Awesome stuff, you can check out the pictures from my Instagram @bloggerladyg.
Teppanyaki beef
Tender with buttery fragrance, very nice. But Hana Japanese Restaurant at City Mall is still on the top of my list of best Teppanyaki Beef, however their service is near the bottom. 
Lasagna, don't let the presentation fool you, it's yummy! 
 This may not look very appetizing, but the lasagna is delish. Al dente pasta with stringy cheese and a lovely meat sauce, I will order again. My sister who studies culinary arts is not impressed with the food presentation. Fortunately the rest of the food photographed nicely. 
Mix grill, for the glutton
A mix grill always reminds me of a piece in one of my favorite book called Bread Tree Diary by a Hong Kong author Amy Cheung (張小嫻), the book is a collection of short write ups about the author's favorite things, food and memories. It is also one of the earliest influences that inspires me to start a blog, so I could write about my favorite things too.

Back to the mix grill, in the Bread Tree Diary, there is a recollection of the author's childhood memories about mix grills, she said she would order this dish whenever her parents took her out for western food, why a mix grill? It's because of gluttony. In a mix grill, there are sausages, chicken wings, steak... One could satisfy their cravings all at once.

(I wonder where I put that book, I suspect my mom packed it in boxes already.
Can't wait to move so I can see my books again)

The food there are quite satisfying, but if Western food is not your cup of tea, they have Malaysian favorites such as Soto Ayam/Daging as well. Or you could have a cup of tea with delicacies of your choice, there are a wide range of cakes and bread for the pickiest of eaters.

Meeting Bestie @FullHouse

Met up with le Best Friend for lunch at Fullhouse the next week. 
I haven't seen her for such a long time.
I have been so busy with work and studies after Form 5, it's difficult to find time to meet up.
This is one of the rare times. I'm a terrible friend, I know. 

Lime Juice RM4.90 and Iced Korean Citron Tea RM4.90
Lime Juice for her, Citron Tea for me.
Both are cool and refreshing. The Korean Citron Tea have a little bitter taste from the citrus peel.

Oyster Shooter RM12.90
This one looks so interesting on the menu, I have to order it.
They're raw oysters in juice.


The Yellow one is Orange Juice, Red is Tomato and Celery and the White one is Lemongrass Lychee.

Never tried anything like that before. 

Croque Monsieur RM13.90 
She ordered this sandwich, there are pineapples, ham and cheese inside.


Oven Roasted Chicken Parcel RM22.90
I wanted to order this last week but they're out. Fortunately they have it this time.
The menu describe it as chicken stuffed with mushrooms, served with sauteed daikon, mashed potatoes and chinese herbs. It does have some herbal taste to it.
I probably won't order it again, not my cup of tea (or my slice of chicken)

I did my nails
Using Elianto Blue Splash and Indigo Shine. The faux Rhinestones can be found at 100 Yen Shop at Suria Sabah. They're not as shiny as Swarovski Crystals though.

Okay, that's all for now. I have some assignments waiting for me.
