Well-welcomed past times the younger generation inward Penang, Korean restaurants are a dime of dozen straightaway on the isle but it is non uncommon to pose a dent on the wallet if y'all wishing to dine inward a proper Korean restaurant. Budget-conscious diners tin straightaway bask Korean delicacies at a cut-rate at the newly opened eating theatre at Elit Avenue (main starts from Rm ten per order). It does non offering whatever Barbecue or Hot Pot bill of fare but an uncomplicated, unassuming bill of fare presenting an array of Korean delicacies, at unbeatable prices. No sophisticated setting, no heavy elements inward decorations, no elegant tables together with chairs; non the perfect romantic house for your engagement but rather, a house to delight your Korean appetite. We managed to endeavor a few dishes together with virtually of them did care to run into our expectations.
One of the pop items at K Food would last Bibimbap (Rm 17)- studded amongst Sprouts, julienned Carrots, Cucumbers, Shiitake Mushrooms, Cabbage carefully curated together with topped amongst a raw Egg, blanketed amongst lashings of Seaweed. The Bibimbap was served using a searing Hot Pot, along amongst a serving of sweet, spicy Gochujang sauce. The sweet, savory together with spicy mayhem was absolutely lovely, K Food played a overnice twist past times adding inward copious amount of Seaweed, which gives the rice a vegetal-Umami flavor. The continuous heating to the concoction volition upshot inward a tacky squelch of rice canvass at the bottom of the pot- nicely imbued amongst a delightful charred smell all the same comes amongst a shattering crisp texture.
Yet about other favorite Korean snack, Toppoki/ Korean Rice Cake amongst Cheese (Rm 18) sees a generous amount of Cheese. Not alone did the add-on of Cheese render a gooey-savory flavor to the Rice Cake but it provided about other layer of dimension to the spicy-sweet Toppoki sauce equally well. K Food's Rice Cake has the ideal texture, fully cooked through yet, maintaining its chewy-resilient texture. Bits together with pieces of Korean Fish Cake were seen equally well.
Rice monsters could become for their Kimbap/ Korean Styled Seaweed together with Rice Rolls (Rm 10), a rather straight-forward together with elementary tummy-filler. Carefully cooked Korean White Rice rolled amongst Cucumber, Carrot, Ham, Egg together with pickled Radish. Nothing out of the ordinary.
To share, nosotros had Kimchijeon/ Korean Pancake (Rm 10); the base of operations was slightly burnt together with the pancake was a tad likewise salty to our liking. There were heaps of Kimchi inward the pancake but the sense of savour did non smoothen together with was unctuously greasy unfortunately. The Soy Sauce dip was unnecessary equally the pancake was heavily seasoned on its own. Some tyke refinement needed.
