Mu Jin Jang Korean BBQ Restaurant - Jalan Ampang

I found another place I took my Mom whilst she was here, the pictures hidden away on my phone (which I haven't blogged about yet)..

Mu Jin Jang, Korean BBQ Restaurant around Jalan Ampang, I know a bloggers Mom owns one of these restaurants but I couldn't get hold of anyone that knew which one it was, and the one I normally go to was closed so were quite a lot of others (Must be Korean day off?), so I picked this one at random.

Mu Jin Jan Korean Restaurant

I ordered some beef as usual (rib eye I think), which used to be tender sweet melt in the mouth a few years ago...a marinated beef dish and some pork, of course the freeflow Kimchi came flooding in, just how I like it!

BBQ Beef

The waitress of course cooked it all to perfection right in front of us, on the BBQ in the middle of table.

Brown Beef

The beef rib and pork was then sliced into bite sized chunks for our consumption. I must say the beef was a bit chewy and not all that great..yeah not like the olden days when it melted in my mouth! The pork was very nice however.

Then out came the marinated beef dish, which started out looking like this (and was much cheaper than the not so fantastic rib-eye thingy beef).

Marinated Beef

It ended up looking like this..

And I have to say, it tasted absolutely heavenly, I would go back there for this definately and the pork. I'll be giving the RM58 steak a miss though, I think this was about RM32 and the pork around the same.

I of course ordered some Gyoza aswell (Japanese boiled then shallow fried dumplings), I order them everywhere that sells them, I really love Gyoza. They weren't called Gyoza of course...they had some Korean name.

These were pretty good.

Korean Gyoza

Yeah, we killed it all!

No more Korean Food

A very hearty meal enjoyed by all, I would go there again (just skip the expensive assed beef and digg down on the marinated beef and a couple of slabs of pork yeah babeh!).

I took Mom for a walk around Bukit Bintang and to Petaling Street after that, but it was already closing up so we just passed it by and headed home. No pics of that as I didn't have my camera and the phone doesn't take good pictures in low light conditions because of the small sensor.

Moms Trip - Day 1 - Lunch at Kanna in Menjalara

Looks like I might have a little time now to document my journeys around KL and Cambodia recently, so here is number 1 of the series, the first day, Lunch at Kanna in Bandar Menjalara, man I LOVE Kanna.

I always used to trek down to SS2 to eat there, but this one is closer, is just as nice and seems cheaper, I have mentioned Kanna in SS2 before, but didn't have many pictures.

Kanna Menjalara

It's on the opposite corner of the famous 31 styles of crab restaurant.

To get there turn in to Bandar Menjalara from the LDP, straight to the roundabout, take 12 o'clock (Straight ahead) until you reach a second roundabout then take 12 o'clock (Straight ahead) again. When you see a right hand turn with a weird building on the corner, take it! Keep going straight past the houses and look out on your left, you should see Kanna there.

Hmm lot's of lovely food.

Banana Leaf Rice

Tasty curry (not too spicy for my Mom either).

Kanna Curry

The best fried chicken in the world evar.

Kanna Fried Chicken

Make sure you remember to ask them to chop it before they fry it, so it gets permeated with the flavouring.

And of course my favourite thing at Kanna the sotong, or squid.

Kanna Squid

Of course we polished off everything.

Empty Plates

And I have to say it was indeed fantastic.

My Mom of course loved the experience (Eating with your hands) and the wonderful food, a good first lunch for her.
