Gangnam 88 @ Sunway Giza Mall, Kota Damansara
Oppa Gangnam Style! I think no one doesn't know about this song by PSY from Korea. Yeah, I'm going to blog about a Korean restaurant today.
Gangnam 88 is located at the centre of
Sunway Giza Mall. However it's not easy to be noticed because it's at first floor of the building. But if you know De' Budget.com then it's just right above.
When you stepped in the lift, you can see a big logo of Gangnam 88.
The varieties of the menu is quite wide. We were first served with 7 banchan (sides dishes). The side dishes is just normal and not really authentic.

Dwaeji Galbi Large RM49
(Small RM33) |
Dwaeji Galbi is one of my favorite among so many BBQ items due to its right ratio of sweetness and saltiness. This is also the recommended dish on the menu and they claim that the recipes of the sauce is from South Korea Jeju Island restaurant. The doneness of the meat is also just right and tender.
There are so many types of lettuce in the market, and I like this kind the most. The lettuce is also very fresh.

Dak Galbi Large RM49
(Small RM33) |
The Dak Galbi is quite different to the one that we usually eat like in Uncle Jang or most Dak Galbi restaurants. It's not stir fried to dry but has much sauce and served with Udon noodle. It's served in a small pot on small stove to keep the warmth of the dish. I think it tastes quite not bad and good to eat with a bowl of rice but I still prefer the Dak Galbi that we usually eat which is more fragrant.
 |
| Osam Bulgogi RM45 |
Osam actually means squid in Korean and so
Osam Bulgogi is squid mixed with pork belly. It's served with varies vegetables and also good to be served with rice too. It won't be very spicy, even though the color appears to be very spicy.
Every main dishes above also come with rice and steamed egg.
 |
| Ramyun RM15.80 |
Actually Ramyun is really my favorite food all the time, but it's still unhealthy to eat so often. So we just order one to be shared.
 |
| Kimchi Pajeon RM29.80 |
The boss recommended me this Kimchi Pajeon (Kimchi pancake). However I think it is not really nice, as I think that it's too thick and it's quite sour for my liking. It is served with wasabi and soy sauce. Is it common to eat it this way? I don't know, because it's the first time I eating this way.
 |
| Beer Chicken RM50 |
Beer Chicken is the best seller on the menu. So we decided to give it a try. It's prepared with Gangnam 88's secret recipe of herbs and spices. The chicken is served as shown in the picture above, and then their staff will cut it into pieces for you on the spot. So never worry of dirtying your hand to cut it yourself. It's called Beer Chicken but actually I don't taste any beer. Perhaps they overcooked it and hence the texture is quite dry, but if it's eaten with the mustard-mayo-like sauce then it balances up the moisture of the meat.
 |
| Steamed Egg |
Complimentary Steamed Egg that comes with the main dishes. Too bad that the bottom part of the egg is a little bit burnt.
 |
| Citrus Tea RM7.20 |
Quite appetizing drinks, with right ratio of sourness and sweetness.
 |
| Ice Hazelnut Latte RM10.80 |
 |
| Hazelnut Blended RM11.80 |
The coffee drinks are not really nice. Not really recommended to order coffee drinks.
They also sell some ice-cream imported from Korea. When I was just taking photo of it, then the boss offered me to choose one for free. This is basically a frozen milkshake in a soft pack, the taste is not bad, but a bit too sweet for me as I'm not so into sweet food.
See those hats hung on the wall? It's actually for sale.
Overall I think the food is at decent level, but the drinks is so so only. Choice wise, they provide a wide varieties of food on menu.The boss are all youngster Korean. Their English maybe not be that fluent, but are all very friendly. If I have chance I will revisit this restaurant to support them, as I myself actually also wish to run my own restaurant in the future.
