Love Nutrient Sigsa Korean Eatery @ Straits Garden, Jelutong, Penang.

Korean nutrient inwards the Jelutong neighborhood powerfulness last a scarce for the by but non straightaway alongside the opening of a novel Korean joint- Sigsa Korean Restaurant, housed nether the novel commercial building- Straits Garden. The Korean eatery serves classic Korean staples such every bit Barbecues, Hotpots, Stews, Tteokbokki, Korean Noodles as well as Rice dishes. It has the criterion Korean eatery setting meant for barbecue (sans the goodness ventilation system), cleverly covered inwards wooden furnishing. We did non larn to sample a lot of their dishes but from what nosotros had, they were of standard-average quality... cipher to a greater extent than as well as cipher less than an average Korean restaurant; but prices are slightly higher than average. 



Tteokbokki (Rm 20)


Gimbap (Rm 10)


Haemul Jeong/ Seafood Hotpot (Rm 70/ large)

For Rm 20, we'd await the Tteokbokki to come upwards alongside to a greater extent than ingredients such every bit Fish cakes as well as Hard Boiled Eggs. The aforementioned ingredients were acquaint but nosotros idea they were also little. The sauce carried the correct sum of sweetness (as per Korean's definition, non the locals) as well as the Rice Cakes were delicately chewy. To get total the tummies, nosotros had Gimbap to become alongside sweet-spicy Gochujang sauce. To our surprise, the Gimbap was delicious. The Seaweed was crisp as well as expertly brushed alongside Sesame Oil; though the filling was customary.

The existent disappointment was Haemul Jeong, the Seafood Hotpot was supposedly filled alongside generous sum of Seafood as well as Shellfish but nosotros alone got a pathetic Flower Crab, unopen to wretched Mussels as well as Clams, every bit good every bit unopen to Octopus pieces. Not alone the Seafood was a letdown, the broth was discouragingly salty. We were unfortunately, unable to potable the broth, inwards the fearfulness of chronic kidney diseases.
